| 4:09am | As the End Nears: ef–What Are We Supposed to Be Feeling? (Part 2) |  | | | In which Mike wonders, after seeing much of its second season, whether the sacred cow he liked best last year was really all that. (This article is the spiritual successor to a similarly titled article last year about School Days’ midpoint.) A couple of months ago, Coburn of Claiming Ground wrote... | | |
| 4:55pm | Why I collect 2D merchandise (Part 1) - Anime DVDs | | | | Brethen-in-bishoujo, Adun’s candid post on losing/recovering his 2D mojo struck a deep cord with me. While our experiences and expenditures do not directly correlate (woah, not even close - my anime spendings over 4 years could barely rival his epic 4 week Japan trip), I could identify with how... | | |

| 9:25pm | A desire to see snow and perhaps sorrow |  | | | Kanon is still my favorite of the three (or four?) Key adaptations that Kyoto Animation have done. I believe Clannad is superior in its themes, and the protagonist’s growth as a person far exceeds the development of Yuuichi and Yukito. However, there is one particular thing in Kanon that really... | | |
| 10:30am | Idle Musings on 2008: Memorable Blokes, Lasses, and Moments |  | | | A new year is about to start in 26 some odd daysand no Mako-cakes will not be reclaiming his manhood. Well another year has almost past and overall it was pretty good. Much fun was had, many gut busting laughs occurred, and memories both good and bad were made. So here are some poorly laid out thoughts... | | |
| 12:04am | The Happily Ever After of Shoujo Love Triangles… Then What? | | | | Oh wait! This isn't a Macross post! It's not even shoujo! Shoujo is my favorite genre. While I may not be as widely read or have watched as much - unlike most shoujo lovers and I have the tendency to redirect love to other genres for the sake of a good story, shoujo will always be the genre... | | |
| 9:25am | Tired | Yet still truckin. | | | | (Heads up there is a slightly NSFW image in this post.) I really don’t know what to write today. Except that I have a desire to express myself with the written word. Today was much like any other really. In it I got to work early, consumed muesli with bananas for breakfast, finished my “urgent”... | | |
| 7:04am | Star Crossed Three Year Anniversary | | | | Oh boy, time flies by fast. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been ding this for three years at this point. Last year I celebrated this by showing some statistics (props to Google Analytics), which is what I’m going to do this time as well. General Statistics: Up till now, I’ve... | | |
| 5:46pm | 君のいる町: Town Where You Live | | | | This manga feels like a dawning true tears, where we have the combo-chara Yuzuki taking a place similar to both Noe and Hiromi unpossibly so? Of course yes. Simple Premise: Tight-wad Haruto has to cope with a lovely bijin, Eba Yuzuki, who comes to live with Haruto’s family and attend the local... | | |
| 8:41pm | Fanboyism | Part 1: Kannagi, True Tears and a little bit of Toradora! | | | | I have come to .. adore Kannagi. It has reminded me of True Tears, most likely because it was being discussed in #ab as I watched episode six of Kannagi. I’ve decided to do a series of Fanboyism posts. Basically posts which delve into shows or characters that I like a lot. Usually I will discuss... | | |
| 2:01pm | Ef - A Tale of Memories - Do you have memories you don’t want to forget? | | | | View Poll So every so often I think a show comes around in my viewing experiences that just shows me that I could be watching so much better and yet I stick to watching the same old shit but I guess sometimes watching the same old shit makes the better shows much more worth it and this is the kind... | | |
| 8:06am | [The season in question] v0.1 Kannagi, why I think it is great. |  | | | This is an unfortunate season for me as blogger but a great one as a spectator. How could such a dichotomy arise? Let me explain: First, let’s talk about the season a bit. The season is GREAT; Barack Obama is in office, the anime is glorious, my first semester in University has been amazing,... | | |
| 2:13pm | Explaining the Magical Index explanations | | | | From Illusice’s comments on the last Index post: I don’t mind complicated plots, as long as it is consistent, and there’s a good dose of drama and action mixed in. I look forward to some more ~scary~ Index (with accompanying music). What really killed the first half of Shana II was not that... | | |
