Fairy with Headphones

And though I had hoped to be able to finish this series before the end of 2009, it appears that a few other things had my attention and that this will likely be reduced to a weekly thing. That might not be a bad idea considering that I also have the 2009 in Retrospect series to do and can thus devote just one part of my time per week to have something consistent for a while. Anyway, here are the ED theme songs that caught my attention in 2008 and also the best of them, completing a 2-part series on theme songs, the first being on OP theme songs.

Haramura Nodoka from Saki

And finally, we reach the last group of the Saimoe 2009 tournament. On with the brackets, and Group H is dominated by Saki in terms of quantity.

Coopa from the Tower of Druaga

And we come to the second last group of the huge first round of Saimoe, Group F. Saimoe is currently taking a break due to Comiket 76, and will resume in another two days’ time as of this post.

3D Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

3D Yoko by Kanzeon…if that was his nickname.

As I write this post, Groups A and B have finished and the results have been surprising, and some, not the least to say, extremely upsetting and disappointing. But whatever, it looks like I might be revising some predictions for the rest of the groups based on what has happened so far. Here goes Group F.

Selvaria Bles from Valkyria Chronicles

We now come to the second half of the large list of participants in this year’s Saimoe. Group E, go!
