| 8:20am | Winter Anime Impressions – Meta Post | | | | Since my winter anime impressions were spread out over the past few weeks I thought it would be a good idea to combine the scores all in on place (and sort by their score) and link back to the individual entries so in case you missed one you could find it easier. Plus give any final thoughts on the... | | |
| 8:28am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 6: Top Anime #10 - #6 | | | | Only a month later then just about everyone else .I thought 2008 was another very solid year of anime, with good shows to be found in most, if not all, major genre types. The fact that I became an anime blogger this year pushed me to watch more shows then I would have otherwise and I was rewarded... | | |
| 8:02am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 5: Memorable Moments and Favorite Episodes | | | | Last year I had a single award given to the most memorable moment of 2007. It went to episode 10 of Manabi Straight when it’s revealed that the school festival will be held. This year, I wanted to go a little further in depth to spotlight my favorite episodes and memorable moments. Since I don’t... | | |
| 2:14am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 4: Music, Voice, and Animation Awards | | | | This show had one of the best pure filler episodes of the year.Or if I rearranged the words, the VMA Awards or the AMV Awards . It is certainly possible for an anime show to be good or at least watchable without stellar music, voice acting, or animation; however, it does definitely help. For example,... | | |
| 8:52am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 3: Genre Awards | | | | Soldiering on, this next set of awards cover some of the many different types of anime out there. I enjoy many of these types of anime and this sometimes leads to odd pairings; for example, I remember watching Kaiba and Maid Guy back-to-back on several occasions. There are a few categories you won’t... | | |

To Air in April |  | | | The Natsu no Arashi! official website has recently updated with full staff and cast information, listing the production studio as Shaft (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei), and Ryouko Shiraishi (Kemeko Deluxe’s sword-wielding Ryouko) as the female lead Arashi.

| 6:15pm | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 2: Cast and Assorted Awards | | | | I should make a "Cutest Character of 2008" category so I could give him an award. Part 2 is somewhat of a mishmash of awards. I started out just having multi-character awards but while figuring out where everything went I realized I needed a spot to place various awards that didn’t fit... | | |
| 5:10am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 12 – Jan 18) | | | | If last week had been a light week of anime, this week was the opposite – as you can see below. And I didn’t include my marathoning of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and the first two episodes of OVA over a two day period. I decided it was the last of the 2008 shows that I wanted to get to before... | | |
| 8:04am | Winter Anime Impressions – Munto TV | | | | Continuing my impressions of the new winter season is the new show from KyoAni – Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Seikei or just Munto. The original OVA, from 2003 and 2005, is the only show of KyoAni that I haven’t seen and it is also KyoAni’s only original work. When I realized that... | | |
| 9:33pm | Maria+Holic OP: SHAFT fapping Goodness (in HD) |  | | | Must resist.urge to Photoshop.words out Some OP’s are so good that makes you watch it over and over again. That happened several times with me with OP’s from anime such as Shikabane Hime, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode, xxxHOLiC or Kurenai, just to name a few. But Maria+Holic... | | |
| 1:54pm | Winter 2009 First Impressions | | | | New season, new beginning! Hay, dis be nova. I’ve been feeling rather lazy regarding bloggan’ lately and this was supposed to be out days since but forgive me. Originally I was going to focus on just a few shows to avoid dropping a whole lot of them but as the first episodes started rolling... | | |
| 8:03am | Winter Anime Impressions – Maria+Holic | | | | Maria+holic is another of the new shows that I was really excited about. The match between source material and the adapting animation studio, Shaft, seemed as near as perfect as possible. Of course, that doesn’t guarantee a hit but increased the chances by many factors of magnitude.Rating: episode... | | |
| 3:25am | Maria+Holic, Episode 2- Doki Doki |  | | | The combination of a nosebleed and tears is quite the hardship I think I’ve watched the OP about 10 times by now, it’s rather addicting. Regardless, if you have the same strange tastes as me you must watch this show. So far it’s the best comedy out this season. Plus you are allowed... | | |
| 12:00am | RideBack: Art, Politics, and Fanservice | | | | lelangir and ghostlightning GATTAI! RideBack appears to be an intriguing show, a visually pretty juxtaposition of art and politics, with mecha. ghostlightning: I loved the dance scene, the performance. The fluidity of the movements foreshadowed the goodness that will come later when the mecha comes... | | |
