12 Memories/Blogs for Christmas – Day 1

And the first thing that comes to my corrupted mind is…JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Going over the 12 memories, and blogs, that made this year 2009 for the Christmas season. Day 1, GOOOOO!

I’ll be following the Twelve Moments in Anime since I’m quite free right now (psst: there’s not really anything good to watch). Brilliant idea by CCY/Canon.

Well, in all seriousness, I remember:

12. Eden of the East. It was quite a good show which stood above the rest of the Spring 2009 season.
It had an unique plot, as well as cliffhangers and a mystery left behind in every episode, leaving you craving for more. Not convinced?

On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike Japan. However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as “Careless Monday,” does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later… Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her. However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery. He appears to have lost his memory. and he is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he’s holding with the other hand. A phone that is charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash. – Production I.G.

On top of that, there are other people who also have a similar mobile phone loaded with cash, and they each have their own story. Did I mention the OP/ED are kickass quality too?

What really had me was that the ending of the anime…wasn’t an ending. The end to the story are going to be resolved in their next two films, which I can’t wait to watch. One of them airs near the end of this month, so stay tuned.

tl;dr Eden of the East is simple, unique, mysterious, funny at times, and definitely worth watching.

Ryan A proposed:

Honest thought: There’s a Secret Santa review thing going around, why not do something similar for blog critiques? If you can run with it Seinime, go for it  My suggestion is to have 5-7 categories of review, and require one-two sentences on each category… the blogs will know by way of trackbacks 

Cheers.

So, what I also want to add a twist on is putting blogs into the mix. One of the problems I first had when I was a blogger was finding out where the whole aniblogosphere was (which Twitter somewhat fixed). So, some cross-blog referencing/introducing/exchanging wouldn’t hurt, would it?

So, on with the show.

Category: Troll…?

So, how did I even find this blog, you may (probably not) ask? tl;dr Friend showed me his posts and thought they were funny. I read it and thought they were funny. THUS A FRIENDSHIP WAS BORN that’s how I came to like this blog. fangzhao (or man of many names/trades/isms) has short to the point posts (80% troll) which might give you a chuckle or rage you to no end. He also reminded me that you can metablog and be honest instead of being a boring episodical summary drone. He also changes his blog’s name/theme…I mean picture which is quite dynamic and nice. When he changes it on Twitter though…do not want.

tl;dr READ HIS POSTS THEY ARE INTERESTING.

I invite you to make your own twist on these Christmas posts. I know I will.
