While 2001 was a year where TV series still struggled to work with the digital animation switchover and the actual quality anime was left up to movies and weird experimental stuff, 2002 had the TV series finally get their shit together. The movie front was noticeably barren this year, with even Ghibli doing a movie equivalent of…… Continue reading My Top 10 Favourite Anime of 2002

10 Anime Moments of Suck 2012
The 26th of December is the suckiest day of the year because it’s the furthest away from Christmas you can get. So, as per tradition, what better day to ‘celebrate’ the truly horrible moments of anime in 2012. In the past I’ve called them moments of HATE, but as I said earlier, this year I…… Continue reading 10 Anime Moments of Suck 2012
Future Diary episode 25
SPOILER! Bet you wish you hadn’t visited the website before watching the episode now, eh? Psych. Not really. I’ll admit I was taken in by this, as goofy and overplayed such a scene is. I guess it worked because we’re willing to accept anything from Future Diary at this stage. Yuki gets stabbed in the…… Continue reading Future Diary episode 25
Steins;Gate episode 6
I’m on the Metanorn Podcast! Listen as I talk about how I got into anime blogging, reminisce over Hetalia, bitch about the Evangelion ending and (pretend to) suck my finger. My general approach to episodic reviewing is to take screencaps, then do the actual writing. However sometimes I get distracted between the screencapping and the…… Continue reading Steins;Gate episode 6
Infinite Ryvius vs Neon Genesis Evangelion
Being the massively popular series that it was, Neon Genesis Evangelion inspired a lot of copycats. Not that every series copied it to the same extent that RahXephon does. Some copied the aesthetic or the female character archetypes or the newer look at giant robot series. Infinite Ryvius is one of these post-Eva series. Directed…… Continue reading Infinite Ryvius vs Neon Genesis Evangelion
My Twitter Experiment
The anime blogosphere is dying. Well, perhaps dying is too alarmist a word, but there are certainly signs the anime blogosphere is regressing. There have been many theories tossed out for why this may be the case. Blogging in general is losing its relevance, equally so in the anime world. Perhaps the 2006-8 period of…… Continue reading My Twitter Experiment
I didn’t like it cuz it was different: Evangelion 2.0 spoiler-free impressions
I mentioned a few posts back that I was going to an anime movie ‘festival’ of sorts where, amongst other things, they were screening the two new Evangelion movies. This was pretty big stuff seeing as the second movie, Evangelion 2.0, hasn’t been released on BD in Japan yet so it hasn’t been fansubbed and…… Continue reading I didn’t like it cuz it was different: Evangelion 2.0 spoiler-free impressions
No anime is dropped forever 21-25
There is no such thing as dropping an anime forever. When I use the term ‘dropped’ that does not mean that’s the last I’ll see of that anime in my life. Dropping a show means that I don’t have the enthusiasm to watch this show currently and at a later date I’ll return to that anime. This later date may be…… Continue reading No anime is dropped forever 21-25
12 moments in anime #5: The greatest anime I’ve ever had the priviledge not to watch
Did you really think I could go through these posts with no Endless Eight? How many of you reading this post were around when the last episode of Neon Genisis Evangelion aired? I certainly wasn’t. Heck, I dare say there might even be a few of you that weren’t even born (kids these days are such whizzes at computers).…… Continue reading 12 moments in anime #5: The greatest anime I’ve ever had the priviledge not to watch
