| 1:34pm | Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Review – 89/100 | | | | There are a lot of ways to adapt something. Shounen battle series tend to very quickly fall into a very dull variation of that: really slow pacing that goes on forever with long boring drawn out battles that all look like each other.

| 8:51pm | Screenshot of the Week 9: Bakuman 3 | | | | Bakuman. (バクマン。) taught me a lot about the manga creating process.

| 2:46pm | Kai’s Anime Backlog | | | | Backlogs, who wouldn’t have them? Especially with time constraints, backlogs tend to grow overwhelmingly huge over the long term and before we know it, we are faced with an almost unbreakable wall of piled up unwatched anime. During the winter season, I decided to pick as less anime as possible... | | |
| 2:10am | ~Tomodachi wa Mahou~ | | | | The ponies got a shiny, bouncy new opening for their Japanese debut. I can’t say that I’m enthusiastic about it, but it is more palatable than the original. To clear the treacle out of your ear, here’s “My Little Baccano.”1 Here’s the original Baccano opening, in... | | |

There’s an entire Japanese community of over 60 000 people within the country’s largest city, São Paulo.

| 12:00am | Twelve Days of Anime #9: Baccano! | | | | ”What do we do with all this money, Issac?” “We make a sequel, Miria!” You’d think with a premise like prohibition-era-mafia-meets immortal-alchemists-in-a-pulp- epic more people would've watched this show.

| 5:25am | Fall Anime Watching Report | | | | We’re entering the final month of the fall season so it’s time for me to come of the woodwork and write a bit about what I’ve been watching (and falling behind on). My favorite show so far has been Girls und Panzer. I’ve kept up with it the most regularly out of the ones I’m... | | |
| 7:58am | Inushinde’s Top 30 Anime | | | | Of the thousands of anime series, movies, OVAs and specials that dot history from the 60s to the modern day, I have only seen scant over 300. That’s barely a blip on the radar, and hardly something to be floored by, even if my regular anime viewing has only been going on for around four years. Of... | | |
