Celebrating 25 Weeks of Anime Music (#MALKeionbu)

By zzeroparticle | Published: November 4, 2009

Source: Pixiv It seems like forever since I’ve written up anything related to the MALKeionbu (alternatively known as the MyAnimeList Music Piece of the Week Club), but I figured now that we’ve entered our 25th week of voting, there’s something special to be had in this moment. 25 represents a pretty significant psychological barrier, for [...]

Anime Piece of the Week: #5 – Pop Vocals

By zzeroparticle | Published: June 20, 2009

Voting Thread Unjustly or no, J-pop does have a tendency to be viewed as a genre that’s rather homogeneous because there’s very little diversity within the set of works out there. Sturgeon’s Law seems to hold a pretty strong grip, but the folks over at the MAL music club did manage to get a hold [...]

Anime Piece of the Week: #4 – Legendary

By zzeroparticle | Published: June 13, 2009

Voting Thread As of this blog post for this week’s anime music selections, there are less than 4 hours left before I close things up and prepare for week 5′s stuff. Anyhow, this week’s theme focuses on legendary anime pieces and we’ve got a pretty decent set with plenty of variety ranging from the expected [...]

Anime Piece of the Week: #3 – Lost

By zzeroparticle | Published: June 6, 2009

Voting Thread Two back to back Piece of the Week posts due to a fairly busy week. At least that’s my excuse anyhow.

Anime Piece of the Week: #2 – Love

By zzeroparticle | Published: May 28, 2009

Voting Thread One of the best things about the MAL Keionbu (as Smankh so affectionately nicknamed it) is the voyage of discovery that one gets by listening to a plethora of anime music that revolves around a common theme and delving, even if it’s just a little bit, into what we all love so much [...]
