| 5:38am | White Album is the worst kind of anime | | | | I hate White Album. It is going to cause me lots of pain and I know it. First off, the art style. The character design and animation by itself is passable and decently good-looking, and like the direction of the story, strongly reminiscent of True Tears. But the art direction otherwise, makes me wonder... | | |
| 2:27am | [White Album] MANLY by Proxy, and Prediction of Things to Come | | | | OH SHI– I remember reading this blog post / article a few months ago, about how a girl (let’s call her Girl A) can perceive a [boring- or plain-looking] guy to be ‘handsome(r) by proxy’ (I don’t remember the exact term used, and I also can’t find the article I’m referring to orz) when... | | |

| 4:56am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 5 – Jan 11) | | | | A very light week of anime this week for me. I pushed my watching of many of the new winter shows into the current week so I could try to finish a few lingering shows of 2008 I wanted to get too before 2009 started. I was only partially successful, Shigofumi got watched finally but I still want to get... | | |
| 7:57am | White Album - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Due to a stress, Yuki pays a surprise visit to Touya. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) Ah, why not; I’m going to blog this series. It’s going to be a nice quick series from a genre that I usually don’t blog about. I’m able to blog three new series this... | | |
| 5:20pm | Catch-up Anime List | | | | I thought I’d go back and grab a single anime series from each of the past 4 seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2008) which I didn’t watch originally but thought that it might be worth taking a second look at. Now, when I actually get around to these, I’m not sure, but I’ll... | | |
| 6:00am | White Album Episode 1: NONSTOP DIRECTORGASM | | | | People kept mentioning True Tears and the fact that this is a VN adaption when talking about this anime, which to me meant 'well-produced love triangle that will tick me off in the end.' Whether or not there is a chance of love triangle, I have no idea. However, what I should have been told about this... | | |

While the casting choice of Hirano Aya and Nana Mizuki as the two female leads respectively... | | |
| 11:15pm | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 1 ~ genre |  | | | Every year, fresh from the Land of the Rising Sun, an overflow of anime in all directions surges out, and we, as technophiles, catch those torrents. In the year of 2008, there was quite many hits and misses. There’s no in-betweens, no so-sos, no kindas, sortas, or littles. Well maybe but I’d... | | |
| 7:50pm | Developer’s Diaries: Fate/Meta Narrative |  | | | A newly-minted enmity of mine is the Fate/stay night anime, especially when those watching it have yet to read the visual novel in all its glory; as all adaptation purists are so disposed to argue, the quality of the former when juxtaposed against the latter forms a significant portion of that criticism,... | | |
| 1:37am | Impz’s first Winter impressions - White Album, another IDOL show? |  | | | If you are wondering where Impz went, he was engulfed into the sea of PSP. The sweet and wonderful Thirteensugars (my girlfriend) bought me a PSP for Christmas, and I received it two days ago. Needless to say, I literally abandoned every single thing that has been bothering me in my activities, and... | | |
