I’ve had trouble uploading to the service the past couple of days, so this was the only one I could upload for a while. Hopefully the uploading doesn’t take too long for the coming sets.
Comments under the cut. Sorry it took so long!

If you find yourself looking for a blog with regards to all things anime, you’ve come to the right place. My nickname is Rose/Rosepetals, and I’ll humbly be your tour guide. *bows*
I’m glad you’ve taken the time to visit, even if you don’t take my opening line seriously (in which case, I am; if you know me from over at Media, my twin blog, then you’ll know that this is a normal thing for me
). This post is just a way for me to be able to greet and show you what updates I’ll be making to this blog from time to time.
About the blog, in brief, this was a subsection that was split in May 2008 of my main blog “Media through Rose-Tinted Glasses”. It became such a large part of what I was blogging that I decided to separate it out and let it be taken for what it is. I took a long hiatus from both this blog and Media for several months, bogged down with school, but now, I’m semi-active and trying to keep it going. I don’t really do it for profit, just as a hobby.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog, perhaps even find something new to take from it all, and finding out a bit about my own preferences/opinions in the mix.
Updates: 12/29/2008 I will post what I have of my Favorite Anime Inserts/Endings Compilations complete, at least what I can get through this weekend, but it may be a while before the countdown itself is actually finished.
Doing a best of compilation entry with respect to 2008. The year has yielded some gems when it comes to series, but overall, compared to the past few years, I have to say I’m disappointed. There were a lot of series that had potential in their beginning runs only to lose steam either at the very end or gradually lost it as it went on. Still, I think it’s worth mentioning some of the titles that stood out in my eyes over the past year.
After that, I’ll have to jump back into a few series that I stopped blogging: Nodame Cantabile (season 1) and Higurashi Kai. I’m finishing those off after taking a hiatus from them for a long, long time. I don’t know if I’ll go back to blogging anime series after those two, at least as I follow them. It takes more time than I actually have in my life to follow that intricately, unless I already own the series and can write at my own pace. There are many other blogs who tackle the detailed anime summaries a lot more than myself, but what I will probably keep doing are the “First Impressions” blogs and perhaps a summary blog (like a review) of series as I finish them. It all depends on time, something I don’t have a lot of these days, but then again, who does?
Love and Luck,
Rose
Finally coming down to my top 50 themes. It actually seems like it’s a lot quicker in progression since I’m uploading the videos in full and not have to edit them for content or length. Yet, most of these movies are a bit lengthy, so if you’ve watched them in full, I salute you.
This part of the countdown features several recent themes that crossed my mind in crafting the countdown, including a few 2007-2008 series that I added into the original countdown. There are more to come like this in the themes leading up to my top 50, but I’ll stick to the current one for proper measure.
