		<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>

Despite knowing that Spice and Wolf II is currently airing, and that there are still some anime that are worth watching (plus, is Lelouch really alive? When will the OVA come out?), I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew that the transition to medical school was going to be anything but smooth, and I was correct. I had a lot of misgivings before the start of classes and a lot of imagined problems with my soon-to-be classmates. Somehow, however, I was able to persist and flourish: perhaps this is the reason that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m only starting to understand the intermittent updates by TheBigN, and that has a lot to do with the rigours of medical school. It&#8217;s actually worse than high school, because after you&#8217;ve stayed at school for more than a third of the day you also have to study for another third just to probably pass.
