Dear Secret Santa Assigned To Me By The ReverseThieves
Anime wa Bakuhatsu da! — ... I do not know who upon this illustrious list of people you are. Neither do I know your motives, nor the intricate heuristics you doubtless used to arrive at your tripartite conclusion. All I know is that you have thrown down the gauntlet, and I am left with no recourse but to accept the challenge. It might be a torturous path, fraught with untold perils; the journey may be grueling, the summit unspectacular. Or perhaps I am too pessimistic; perhaps it will be a rewarding journey, with untold pleasures strewn ...

YOU GET TO BURNING: THE GREAT CHRISTMAS ANIME DRIVE
orz - I Will Show You Terror in a Handful of Flans — ... SPAAAAAAACE. …Of course, unless you’ve been living under a rock all these years, you’d probably know what insane show I am about to watch (No, I already watched Macross 7, ALL OF IT). Yes, I know, late to the party, etc, but does it really matter how late one watches a show? ANYWAY. ONWARDS, AFRIKAKORPS. TO TOBRUK. This post has been brought to you by the Reverse Thieves Secret Santa Project, no, they didn’t kill Santa Claus. ...

OGIUE MANIAX — ... I am participating in the Reverse Thieves’ Secret Santa Project, in which bloggers picked shows for other bloggers based on their anime preferences with the ultimate goal being a review of one of the anime picked for us. ...

Christmas Bells in the Anime Blogosphere
Memories of Eternity — [Ueda Ryou] Or, my plans to end the year in style. Quickfire points ahead: The Reverse Thieves are hosting a Secret Santa project, and I’m taking part. The show I selected is Kamichu!, and I’ve heard good things about it. I’m expecting the review to go up on the 24th. CCY’s 12 Days of Christmas has made its rounds for a couple years now, and I’ll participate if it happens again this year. I’ll probably do something along the lines of what IcyStorm did last year, ...

I was hoping this would be a more “productive” post behind this…
Drastic My Anime Blog — ... seeing omo give his confession to Zange-chan, the FUNimation panel, bagpipes, seeing the Dealer’s Room after closing time and helping Hen Da Ne take down their wares, etc.). But then my main computer tanked, OSes were reinstalled, and all that good information, as well as 3 months of other stuffs, is gone to the electronic ether where all deleted files go. This also explains some of why I’ll probably be late with my Secret Santa entry for Reverse Thieves. And I always told myself to not write one of ...

YOU GOT BURNT: The Reverse Thieves Secret Santa 2009 Anime Review
orz - I Will Show You Terror in a Handful of Flans — ... Brought to you by The Reverse Thieves Secret Santa Project. No seriously, I have no idea on how to begin this. I’m kinda lost on how to review Martian Successor Nadesico, because it’s begging for a rather hilarious manner as to how it gets reviewed, so… You know what, i’m just gonna do it. How do you like your mecha? Hot-blooded and epic, kinda like GaoGaiGar and all them super robot shows? Realistic, full of what one could term mecha porn, and full of drama, ala Gundam? MAXIMUM FAIL, ...

Secret Santa Project Review: The SoulTaker: Takin’ Souls, Cryin’ Blood
Anime wa Bakuhatsu da! — ... So after watching The SoulTaker for the Reverse Thieves’ Secret Santa project, I can honestly say that it was a much less painful experience than rumor had led me to believe; in fact I rather enjoyed it, or enjoyed the process of watching it, or something. Prior to actually watching The SoulTaker, the most I’d heard about the series ranged from “it’s terrible” to “it’s kind of alright” and the fact that Nakahara Komugi (of Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte infamy) was a spinoff of SoulTaker. This is not exactly the kind of buzz that is ...

Secret Santa Review Project: Lovely Complex – Manzai Can Sigh in Kansai
OGIUE MANIAX — ... Note: This is the my review as part of the Reverse Thieves Secret Santa Project. Romance can be sweet. Romance can be exhilarating. It can be mellow, dramatic, fun, bitter, and much more. But often times the best word to describe this roller coaster ride we call love is “silly.” Not trivial, not foolish, and not frivolous, but the kind of silliness that reminds you that, as serious as love can get, it’s best to approach it with a genuine smile. That is the lesson Lovely Complex teaches over the course of 26 episodes. ...

If You’re Looking For My Secret Santa Entry…
