It’s 4 AM and I just finished up the anime, Welcome to the N.H.K. I strolled through the door about a quarter to one and decided to finish up the third disc of the series, but it got so good I kept going to the fourth. Then the final two episodes hit, and I was really moved. I mean really moved. What Misaki and Sato went through! That second contract was one of the saddest things I ever heard, but Sato didn’t sign it even though it was a cry for help. Sheesh!
This is a real good anime. Today’s link will be a semi-review of the penultimate episode of the series. It’s not mine, but one of the first search results when looking for the anime.

Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy is coming to the theatres as a CG film and not anime. I wonder if it will work?

Thanks to all my readers for making 2008 a big hit. You make reading these browser metrics for BrowserMetrics fun to do.
The first chart is monthly visits. The numbers are reasonable for such a low read blog.
Here’s the daily scribble that shows you the average volume I’ve been getting all year:
Finally, a year by year comparison. The trend is going up!!!

When I first started reading manga, I stayed on the male side with reading shonen manga. I avoided shojo because the girls with the big eyes just creeped me out. As I read more and more, it became apparent that I had to read some shojo because there’s a lot out there. Also, shonen manga is too much filled with ninjas and pirates, at least the ones that were sold in the US. I needed to see some more school comedy romances. Shojo is filled with these type of stories. I may be turning into a shojo reader. It’s weird where things lead you.
