		<description><![CDATA[When Darker than Black was announced, I was among those who jumped into the bandwagon. I just knew it was going to be a good show even if I didn&#8217;t know what it was about yet. When it aired, I was awed and amazed by the smoothness of the protagonist, and I vowed to finish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The original TV series of Evangelion was one of the few anime series I rewatched (I actually watched it three times). I personally don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s the best anime ever, but I do believe it ranks up there. Despite the complications and the complexities of the plot, especially elevated during the final two episodes, I [...]]]></description>

A day after I watched Bakemonogatari, I started watching a series I vowed to finish when it [...]]]></description>

After waiting about a day reflecting on the second season of Gundam 00, I decided to start viewing (on just a whim) Bakemonogatari. I could not stop watching it, and I realized that it was among the best anime this year has offer. I loved it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished my first anime marathon ever since I started medical school. To sum everything up: feels good man. With that said, I was able to do it because I resolved to wean myself off bidding on eBay. I am extremely grateful for those who commented on my previous post and the grains of [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to; it&#8217;s just that there are more pressing matters to attend to. My life transited from a more sedentary existence to something far more active: despite sucking at different sports, I participate in them anyway [...]]]></description>
