I guess I’m finding that it takes a little out of me when I finish up doing the Impressions on a Year posts, since it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, even just for this blurb. There are posts ideas from me lined up, so you’ll see some actual content from me in the future (I just need to write them first :V). For now though, thanks to an awesome person on IRC, I’ll just post something that combines two of my favorite shows from 2008.
In other news, this season is still too early for me to feel good saying anything definitive about it, but Maria+Holic is fun (combining all of my anime fetis- interests into one), though the final choice for Yumi seems already made (and I agree wholeheartedly with it) I worry about a trolling attempt from Marimite season 4, and Minami-ke Okaeri needs more Mako-chan. :V

So according to others, I was apparently supposed to be part of the “12 Days of Christmas” craze that’s sweeping the blogosphere, and I’m kinda confused on how that impression came to be. I’m planning on doing what I did last year with the “Impressions on a Year 2008” coming soon after Christmas, but nothing of the sort was happening before the holiday. At the same time, I feel guilty when I see links from other blogs saying that I’m participating in it when I’m not, so I figured that I should go and do something about it. And from the outset be lazy and selfish about it. So, instead of covering my thoughts on the year of anime that I saw, I decided to write about what I thought were the best posts on DMAB this year, even though December isn’t over yet. Of course there’s bias involved here (yay self-horn tooting!), so if you have different favorites than I do, please feel free to say so. Nor is this post itself going to be the pinnacle of good writing (as I’m tired and lazy right now), but I feel that this helps people who haven’t bothered to check out the blog before, and at least it gives me some time to reflect on things.
A mix-up almost as bad as this one?

I find Strike Witches to be some cheesy endearing fluff that I don’t mind paying money to watch, since I haven’t fully realized the debt that I’m going to be in once this whole med school/residency/fellowship thing is done with. And granted, I’m probably going to get closer to Nomad’s impression of me mostly watching and liking “moe crap” by watching and enjoying this, but it’s not like I mind too much. It’s entertaining enough as it is, and not because of the fanservice, which doesn’t bug me as much as I feel like it probably should (if I’m not paying attention to it, does it mean something’s wrong with me?). And the show is probably not going to stick in my mind when it’s done (unless they pull some awesome stuff down a line that is awesome, aka Mai-HiME), yet seeing another character in Yoshika who tries to use her misguided passion and “heart” try and win the day works for me. And at the moment, it’s a show that I think people might actually miss out on because of the “right” reasons (I couldn’t say that for Kanokon if anyone is wondering, though I liked the show). Lol pantsless 1940s FTW.
