That’s right. Oh I so love this closing time. It’s November now…
Similar timing as the year before, 2009 will be closing in just about 60 days. Isn’t it fun! I’m doubting Lawson will write a set of wrap up posts, but if such a thing occurs, it’ll be a Happy Christmas.
I do plan to assess my own experience through 2009 in year-end entries, but as usual, December is my animu-gold month.
December is love, and what better way to express some love and peace appreciation of 2009 anime than in batch marathoning. Devotion will be tough this year because I’ve been an inattentive seasonal watcher and the marathon list is hefty. but it’s nothing new and I quite enjoy it.
Unlike the previous years, where I reflected episodically on melative (auuu~ poor reflections are stuck without a view), I am debating whether I should revive reflections, use an excluded category here, or simply rely on liveblogging. O.o We will see.
To the various new blogs around the sphere, I encourage both annual perspectives and the December marathons for seasonal cheer. To those in the far North, enjoy your pre-Winter flurries. To my tropical and southern hemisphere pals, may December at least be cool T_T. I’ll be wishing upon BK-201 for chilly weeks to come.
So don’t forget the oranges and fresh brewed green tea on those cool days nor a good sake for those cold nights. It’ll all be over soon.
Hearts and stars to closing time.

Although 2008 may not have been as great as 2007, it did have some great characters, in that respect, I’m already missing them ;_;

Rather bummed of my incapability to slice over 30 series in 2008, I was close anyway. And so the ordering goes:

In light of the approaching New Year, it is once again time for year-end reflections. Do we wonder if 2008 was a good year for anime? Without a doubt, 2008 was no 2007, yet there was an abundance of good in 2008. Where did 2008 win, and why will I remember this year in anime?

And another round in the bag, with some rehash. As previously mentioned, links to reflections can be found on the year-end marathon page. Honestly, this round pissed me off more than the last, and two of these series I have yet to finish, but I feel I’ve had enough to assess them in the final placing (finishing may lower or raise their placing, but because it is either, it is more than likely not to change positions).

Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays - Seasons Greetings!
Unfortunately, we have no snow in Florida, and it’s not even cold this Christmas, but a bit humid and over 25C. As much as I love a cold and snowy Christmas, it’s still a good time of year. Rather than formulating my own holiday post, I’ll likely be reading other’s, bouncing comments, or noting. I’ve also slowed the marathons, and will probably not fit everything I’d like to complete by New Year’s, but I’m okay with that.
Enjoy what we can with the people who are around, or even if alone, find some digital company, but let’s not forget to find a smile. I wish everyone bright holidays, warm if it’s cold and cool if its hot.
