In 2009, on Anime Diet, I resolve to: Write some kind of post at least every other day. Even if it’s just a filler news post. Reply to everyone’s comments. Try to write comments more often on others’ blogs. Release podcasts the same week they are recorded. Today’s release is a good start–it’s a new [...]

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 enough to make them more [...]
As I have a much larger article to write tonight I’ll keep this one short and sweet. The 3rd moment is a memorable, cleverly written scene from episode 3 of the slice of life/action/loli dramedy Kure-nai–the three way conversation between Shinkurou, Murasaki, and Yuuno. The rapid-fire, back and forth conversation was, if anything, reminiscent of [...]
Today’s moment is brought to you by on of more interesting shows from the summer season, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, in which all of Haruka’s friends stand up to her father in defense of her fandom. A number of titles in recent years have either questioned, poked fun at, or even demonized certain kinds of [...]
Well–here’s my first salvo in the “12 Days, 12 Moments” project. Why so late and out of sync with the rest of the blogosphere? Well, as someone with theological training, I couldn’t bear to be so liturgically incorrect as to misidentify the 12 Days of Christmas as the days prior to Christmas, could I? After [...]

They’re just two faces of the same group of people. Nisijou Takumi the wheel-chair-ridden, or “shogun”, probably loaths himself, that’s why he created the other one. But the [...]
Woohoo! I guess Aya-chan’s popularity makes her the winner! Woohoo! Alright lil’ sis, bend over now and yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Well, yeah, I know there are huge hints that they’re not blood related at all, but hey, big bosoms FTW! I enjoyed this show solely because of Kugimi VS Aya-chan, with occasional flavoring from Rieie, but honestly [...]
At this point, to me it seems pretty clear that there is no thousand year old “Omniyoji”, that somehow, she’s behind everything from the very beginning. I don’t know and I’m not saying that is the truth. In fact, when other people often guess the plot or the ending to a movie (back in college, [...]
