2012 Anime of the Year Awards and Top 10

This was the thinking pose the various members of The Cart Driver had to adopt while considering their nominations. 2012 was a fairly unremarkable year for anime. Nothing really shook the industry, unless you count terrible light novel adaptations with ridiculous titles as ‘shaking the industry’. It wasn’t a particularly bad year either, which would [...]

There were Macross and Yamato, neither of which I’ve seen so I can’t really make a comment [...]

Nisemonogatari episode 10

I’M NOT DEAD YET Essays completed by deadline date and handed in all wonderful and everything. Time to put away my metaphorical academic pen from writing about some rather disturbing stuff and instead write about pornographic, pedophilic, it’s not smut it’s art, cartoons from Japan.
