Best Ongoing Anime 2008: Bōnen no Xamdou
This anime touches many topics including war, religion, communication, relationships between people, and exploration of human nature. With six episodes left and all pieces in place, Bōnen no Xamdou has a good chance to make a worthy finale. I’ll write my final impression after the last episode 
The anime has one of the best openings this year
I like how you made different categories that cover a wide range of things and from what I’ve seen this year and your choices, I’d have to agree with most
Happy New Year!
I am glad you liked it
Happy New Year, Lostty!

Good analysis but only one gripe. Needs more ef
:O Please go away from the computer now and get some rest!
Yes, I am aware that Ef is quite good, but I’ll have to see it first
Yegads where do you find the time to watch it all!
Keep in mind that this is a post for the entire year. I mention only about a dozen titles and watch about three shows per season. This is a relatively moderate consumption compared to the number of shows some people devour
When you put it like that, its not so bad
Yup, but it took me a long time to put this post together
Very good list. I agree with most of your picks or at least see the logic.
I’d forgotten about the musical from episode 6 of Kure-nai; definitely one of the funniest episodes of the year.
Thank you
Yes, that Kure-nai episode was very fun

So many pages! I didn’t have time to finish reading all of them, but I agree with at least 90% of your reviews. Good stuff.
Thank you
