12 moments in anime #8: Grave of the Fireflies *sniffle*

This year I went on a mini anime movie binge. It turned out I had barely seen any anime movies whatsoever and was in dire need of adding some more to that list. There were two that stood out amongst those I watched. The first was Akira, the anime I started this entire 12 days project with. The second? *sniff* Grave of the *sniffle* Fireflies.

12 moments of anime #9: Eden is exactly as good as everyone expected it to be

Have you ever noticed how much effort I put into my season previews? Or the upcoming anime page I’m constantly updating with every new anime green-lite for production? I love to look forward to upcoming anime and try predict what will be the hit series of the future. In the 2+ years I’ve been doing this, no series has had as much obvious quality plastered all over it as Eden of the East had.

Hetalia Axis Powers episode 47

You know I was slightly worried before this episode that Hetalia had fallen into a bit of a rut recently, as can quite often happen with this show. When this episode kicked off with chibitalia I thought my fears had come true. But no!

When France is tossing about his fabulous (and now no longer strangely deformed chibi version) self we know that Hetalia has returned to form once again.

12 Moments in Anime #10: A screenshot tells a thousand words

It’s a cliché phrase I know. But sometimes all you need is a picture, possibly toss in a caption for good measure. So this moment in anime is this awesome scene from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood episode 19, the single greatest scene of the year.

I SEALED IT WITH FIRE!!!

12 moments in Anime #11: The Curry Fairy

Alternative Title: That moment when Asread stopped having characters walking through doors and table corners and actually animated something glorious. Alternative Title 2: This is just a 12 days post about Minami-ke Okaeri. Please don’t expect much.

Letter Bee episode 11

My brain has been going through overdrive with all these 12 days posts I’ve been writing. In fact I was getting worried that I wouldn’t be able to come up with much to write about in regards to this latest episode of Letter Bee. That thought crossed my mind briefly before I watched the episode but I kept to the belief that this episode of Letter Bee would be good enough for me to have enough to write about. Hmmm…

12 moments of Anime #12: The day I understood the oldfags

There’s a tradition in the aniblogsphere started by CCY at Mega Megane Moe called the ’12 Moments in Anime’ Project. Every year, starting on the 14th of December, bloggers are invited to write about their 12 favourite anime-related things over the past year. There’s something so honest and true to the spirit of Christmas about the project and I remember reading some of the posts last year and really enjoying them. So in the true spirit of Christmas and definitely not an attempt to get even more hits and recognition of the aniblogsphere I’ve decided to join in this year. The problem is my memory on how people structured these posts or what they even talked about is completely gone. But instead of going back and copying the ideas of writers from last year and end up with posts that look identical to everyone elses I’m instead going to fly straight into this without research in the hopes that I’ll produce something noticeably different from everyone else. Will this tactic work? Well the only way I’ll find out is by just doing the blasted thing instead of this needlessly long introductory paragraph.

Guest post: Hetalia character songs

Remember several episodes ago when I invited someone to make a guest post about the Hetalia character song? I’ve never really had any interest in them (unless it’s an ending song) but many people certainly seem to love them. So today for you all I’m taking the back seat and I invite Camille to take the reins. So I’ll shut up and leave the talking to someone who knows more about Hetalia than I do.
