| 9:40pm | The 15th Day of Christmas 2008 - Club Nayuki | | | | “Club Nayuki” is this hip imaginary place in my head, a VIP locale for some of the underdog, underloved, or underrated characters in anime. Christened after a certain Miss Minase who gained quite the following in the great battle of Kanon, it’s a place I often reference when referring... | | |
| 4:16pm | In consideration - 5 DVD boxsets from TheRightStuf | | | | Save for the Shuffle! DVD bundle, TheRightStuf 12 days of xmas sale was a rather disappointing affair for me.

I’ll play with you until morning.” Yeah, those of you who know me from last year know I’m not much for stopping at just 12 Days of nonstop posting. I’m not sure why.

| 4:48am | At least she didn’t die | | | | This ALWAYS happens! Whenever I REALLY like a character, something bad’ll happen to them. This started all the way back to Sailor moon. I liked Tomoe, but then she just HAD to go and kill herself. You can keep reading but just keep in mind that there are a lot of spoilers here. In Fate/stay... | | |

| 7:15pm | Unfulfilled Expectations or a Drastic My Anime Blog 2008 Primer |  | | | By TheBigN So according to others, I was apparently supposed to be part of the “12 Days of Christmas” craze that’s sweeping the blogosphere, and I’m kinda confused on how that impression came to be.
