THAT Animeblog

When we actually need Haruhi to provide peace.

As we come to the end of the year, it is always nice to provide some flashbacks to the year in review. 2008 has been a terrible year in reality, what with the economic recession, the horrid Mumbai blastings that killed many innocents including a Singaporean lady, the uneasy truce that just ended between Israel and Palestine and the escalating oil prices (though it dropped to 37 US dollars due to recession). However, THAT is not a political site. So, let’s screw that start and go into the topic we are actually discussing.

Anime Blogging in 2008 for THAT. It will not be that long an entry. Just in case you get really lazy to read whatever is below, please give us your feedback for these three questions.

1. Who are the bloggers you usually follow in THAT?
2. What do you like most about THAT?
3. What do you hope to see more often in THAT?

So, before I go into TL:DR territory here, I will go straight into the report. Enjoy! Also, get ready for tons of images that makes no sense at all in this post.

Our most loved female otaku who does not want to be recognized as one.

It’s always good to have a chance to laugh at your dumb girlfriend when you wake up in the morning. Here is the tale as re-accounted by my girlfriend on a private chat online. For some reason, she is speaking in the third person. A warning ahead of time: whatever sweet compliments she has subtly (well, not that subtle) implanted about her are hopelessly false and forced.

Here’s her tale of epic proportions, her journey into a world unseen, untouched and unheard in her life.

And the winner of the vote is…..

Dear Kaname Kuran…. Geez…

The Fight between the best of the best! And I would like to thank Impz for the picture.

In case you find things rather boring lately, I’ve been thinking for a while to do this. Originally the vote of President in Cross Academy, now it’s the Fight of the Fans: Zero VS Kaname! (Now that Democracy Rules!)

If you like Zero, please vote for him. And if you like Kaname better, vote for him too. The poll will start now and will stop after 31 May 2008. Results will be mentioned in mid-June (Due to some reasons and I’m going off for a vacation.) But for Impz and I we prefer Zero but it’s up to you to decide. Their fate in in YOUR hands!

It’s your time to take off the hidden hood off your head as you enter the biggest battle of all time. It is the critical question.

Why do you like green hair lolis? Tell us now.

This is a question I always wanted to ask but I never have the chance. Some of my friends often tell me that they sleep through the new year, not bothering about any silly countdown. Some others are ready to hit the clubs, go for foam parties and drink themselves silly. For me, I am likely to go out with the “Quad”, my buddies who used to write for the blog (and no longer do so due to their lack of interest in anime now).

So, the poll and question is this: How are you going to spend your New Year?

1. As it seems now, most of you are in fact Dango lovers, and will be out there trying to get the latest Dango, be it small or big. In fact, I have to admit that I am one huge fan of Dango, even though I seldom have the chance to eat these mochi-like delicacy from our Japanese snack house. It’s a pity that mochi is more common around in our humid region. Why, is it those eyes that haunt us so?

2. I guess that is also why the next highest voted option is about the eyes. If you ask me, the eyes are a huge symbolization of the love that they have for Nagisa, our oblivious kind hearted girl who seems to be so docile that even living dangos are more tsundere than her. She has to pick up some good tips from our delicious Kyou, who has mastered the art of throwing a book so fast that it defeats Einstein’s law of gravity!

3. For those who chose Taiyaki, shame on you. Stop being one of those loyalists and worship something new. I mean, you already have a more retarded moe version of Ayu in Fuuko, who is fascinated with stupid stars (and did I say that I have a mild dislike of Fuuko?). Seriously, stop thinking about half-conscious loli-looking girls going starry-eyed or Taiyaki loving, find yourself a delicious Kyou, Tomoyo and Kotomi.

4. For the rest, I don’t care. HAH! No is like just ….not cool. Being lactose intolerant is just sad sometimes, even though I know a certain person who is as so. I love my milk, thank you.
