Well, my three week winter break has come to an end and tomorrow I will once again resume the life of a full-time university student. I’m really glad that I managed to write a lot of good blog posts these past few weeks, despite my vacation being so short. However, once again I know that my schoolwork will keep me too busy to do anything worthwhile on my web sites, so I’m going to put both the blog and main site on hiatus for the next 11 weeks. But even though I won’t be doing any site work, I will still update my Twitter and MAL accounts, so you can check up on me through those if you want ^_^
Unfortunately my spring break at the end of March is only a week long so I doubt I’ll be able to do more than one or two good posts then, or maybe none at all if I get busy with other things. Well, we’ll see how it goes =) Thanks again for all your continued support ^^ Hope to be back in a few months.
PS: To kick off the new year, my friend SailorCardKnight made four awesome new banners for the main AnimeYume.com site. You can find three on the main entrance page and one on the homepage. I had the old ones up for years so I figured it’s finally time for a change XD

Although I only had time to watch a small handful of all the anime that aired in 2008, I enjoyed pretty much all the ones I watched. But of course, while some simply came and went, there were a few that really stood out and reminded me why I like anime so much. So I decided to kick off the new year with a look back at the five 2008 anime that I liked the most…

Every year for the past four years I’ve posted scans of newly released anime calendars on my site around this time. So this year I have scans for the Haruhi and Shana 2009 calendars…

Kannagi wasn’t on my original list of “to watch” anime for the fall ‘08 season, but once I saw how popular it became, I just had to see what all the fuss was about! XD So I spent the past few days of my winter break marathon-ing through the 13 episodes. And now that I’ve seen it all, I must admit that Kannagi is deserving of its popularity…

Although this is technically not an actual game, for anyone who’s trying to learn Japanese and who doesn’t have $200+ to spend on a real electronic Japanese dictionary, this “Japanese dictionary on a DS cartridge” is a great substitute. Sure, it doesn’t have quite as much as a real electronic dictionary, but until you’ve gone past at least an advanced level of Japanese, this little DS cartridge will definitely be a major help…

Since I enjoyed Visual Art’s/Key’s other two series, Air and Kanon, and since I adore KyotoAni’s work, I decided to start watching Clannad when the first season aired last fall. Unlike Air and Kanon, Clannad not only got an additional OVA, but now it’s going through its sequel this fall with Clannad - After Story. And luckily, 12 episodes into Clannad AS, and I’m happy to report that it has all the charm and emotion that made the first season so good…

As of now, I am 12 episodes through Toradora!, which is roughly half of this 25 episode series. When news of this anime based on award-winning light novels first came out, it was one of the most highly anticipated series for the fall 2008 season. So I decided to watch it and see if it was worth all the hype. And it didn’t take more than the first two episodes for me to get hooked…
