March Roundup

A season where quality varied from the magnificent to the terrible, and that’s just in a single anime. Apart from a certain constant A-rank anime, every other show this season has been wildly inconsistent in from one episode to the next. In fact, the only consistent thing anime has managed to produce are poor endings. [...]

Drop your prejudice for sports anime and actually watch some

Sports anime? No thank you! This upcoming spring anime season is an interesting one for a bunch of reasons, the most notable of which being the rather unusual shortage of moe titles. However one thing that many people have commented on is the rather large number of sports anime this season. Giant Killing, another season [...]

February Roundup

There are two anime at the moment (plus one episode from a series that should’ve been out long ago but was enjoyable nevertheless) that stand far above everything else this season, leaving this monthly roundup post looking oddly lopsided. On the balance of things, I can’t really decide if I prefer only one or two [...]

January Roundup

After getting bored of having a Gintama image at the top of my monthly roundup posts, I thought what I’d do was have some sort of humorous picture being some sort of comment on anime fandom in the past month. You know, something simple like having Kanata standing at the top of the fortress but [...]

2009 anime: A year in review

December Roundup

There’s a lot of bloggers out there doing decade-in-review posts. I won’t be following suit though. It’s not so much that I haven’t seen enough from this decade, or that I haven’t been around long enough. Those are both true but the main reason is because if I was to list out my top 20 [...]

November Roundup

I thought that this would be the year that everyone remembers as the year Crunchyroll got their hands on about half of the anime airing. But Crunchyroll appears to have a far less impression on the anime world than I originally thought they would. Is it because of the rather suspect quality of their streams and subtitles? As a subscriber [...]

October Roundup

There’s no way around a the fact that this season is just not very good. Thankfully we have plenty of anime still continuing on, and in the case of Cross Game and Umineko, two anime that are not only continuing on but also improving dramatically. The thing is, even with all these anime I’ve been [...]
