Winter 2016 Anime Season Preview

You mean…the new season starts tomorrow? Oh dear, I better finish that season preview then. Welcome to The Cart Driver’s Legendary Anime Season Preview, winter 2016 edition. The new season doesn’t air its first anime until tomorrow so it’s all good, I’m still on time. This is officially the latest I’ve ever gotten a preview…… Continue reading Winter 2016 Anime Season Preview

Summer 2013 Anime Season Preview

It’s summer! That means swimming and beaches and swimsuits and hot firm bodies under the sun with their chests and their abs sweating with the heat and exhaustion and oh those firm, firm bodies… *cough* where was I? Oh right yes, anime! That medium that has nothing to do with swimming at all. Wonder how that…… Continue reading Summer 2013 Anime Season Preview

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.

Now that I’ve watched episode 10 though, I have my theories why…… Continue reading Brothers in Arms: Chihiro and Rea’s Father

A Grade Nothing this month. B Grade B+ Aquarion EVOL Episodes 18-22 I’m also a bit torn on the direction…… Continue reading May Roundup

April Roundup

Boy I’m not very good at this whole ‘being on hiatus’ thing. Already I’ve written two really long posts since the supposed hiatus. This just happens to be how I wind down. I’m weird like that. For the record, I haven’t watched anime in over a week, so I’m at least one episode behind on…… Continue reading April Roundup

Small Character Touches in Sankarea and Kids on the Slope

The dad in Sankarea wants to monopolise his affection for his daughter. The main character in Kids on the Slope really likes this girl and wants to appear cool in front of her. These are two distinct character traits for two characters, but what I really like about both of these traits is how they…… Continue reading Small Character Touches in Sankarea and Kids on the Slope
