| 6:24pm | A Tale of Friendship, Love, LULZ, and ToraDora | | | | I had the chance to go on an escapade to my hometown together with my college classmates / barkada last December 28-30. Though to be exact, it’s like they dragged me to their planned escapade so I can be their host or something lol. Being the willing victim that I was, I had no complaints~! It’s... | | |
| 5:58am | My 5 favorite anime of 2008 |  | | | Although I only had time to watch a small handful of all the anime that aired in 2008, I enjoyed pretty much all the ones I watched. But of course, while some simply came and went, there were a few that really stood out and reminded me why I like anime so much. So I decided to kick off the new year... | | |
| 9:54pm | True Tears: ‘No connection! No connection!’ | | | | I watched True Tears in the space of a few days at the end of August. I was reasonably impressed. People who actually know things about quality seemed to agree: if I had to list the better anime of 2008 by skimming opinions from the creamy top of the ’sphere, True Tears would probably feature.... | | |
| 4:52pm | Anime Vice Check-In 01/01/09 | | | | Happy New Year, everyone! This will probably be the last time I do one of these check-ins, although I’m looking into having a plug-in that’ll round up the Anime Vice twitter daily. We’ll see if I can find something. In the mean time Tuesday 12/23 - Haruhi-chan Beats Haruhi by a Mile... | | |

This is the end of your imperishable night Now the dawn will come!!” Well, all good, bad, and tl;dr things must come to an end, right? It’s New Year’s... | | |
| 4:00am | THAT’s Official “Best Anime of 2008″ Post |  | | | The gift of moe The post of the title is pretty self-explanatory, but what the hell. I badgered several of the THAT authors into indicating along with me what they thought the best anime of 2008 was. Some of them (including myself) could not contain themselves and split their selection. Regardless,... | | |

| 12:53pm | Best and Worst Anime of 2008 | | | | As the year draws ever closer to an end, it’s time to stop for a bit and look back at the year that was 2008. Although this year I didn’t complete a lot of series that I was blogging, as well as not blog for an entire season, I still ended up watching them through to the end. Like past years,... | | |
| 4:50am | Dreams of the Year Behind: 2008 | | | | In light of the approaching New Year, it is once again time for year-end reflections. Do we wonder if 2008 was a good year for anime? Without a doubt, 2008 was no 2007, yet there was an abundance of good in 2008. Where did 2008 win, and why will I remember this year in anime? In the Season For my considerations,... | | |
| 4:43am | End of 2008 - Languid Year | | | | Interesting “Fact” Ok, so I was talking to my friend and he brought up a very interesting point: In most (if not all) romance genre Anime, there is a bloody sidekick - either to support a love or to just be a clown. That person does NOT have to be a male character but tends to be male. Lets... | | |
| 4:24am | The 2008 Best Themes Post | | | | I am totally stealing from CCY and cuchlann, and doubtless countless others, to bring you this post, a window into the mysterious workings of musical things in my mind. Expect it to make even less sense than usual! Opening and ending themes and sequences oftentimes hold a special place in my heart,... | | |
| 10:58pm | The Final Say - My Anime Of 2008 | | | | As the year comes to a close, I felt it was high time to take a look back at some of the titles that I had enjoyed throughout the last twelve months. The following titles that made it on this list never went through any stringent requirement checks, since I am not particularly demanding. While these... | | |
| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |
| 4:28am | 2008 in Review: Picks of 2008 |  | | | Another year passes. Man, it’s hard to believe I’m already in to my 9th year of being an otaku as well as my 4th year of blogging. Time sure flies. I’m now well over 1500 posts with nearly 16k comments, and it’s thanks to everyone’s support that I’ve gotten so far.... | | |
| 4:13am | 5th Day of Christmas - A Song for a Roach |  | | | This fifth installment of the ‘12 moments’ series is about True Tears, which was the best show of last winter amid some rather lackluster selections. True Tears was not always the most realistic or the most well-plotted of series, but it did have good animation and took its characters seriously... | | |
