Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Too many shows air on Tuesday In any case, this series continues to surprise me. It’s probably because the cast of... | | |
| 8:17am | Comic Con: Some Rambling Final Thoughts | | | | Sign of the times. I remember after last year’s Anime Expo hearing that, by comparison, the well-run Comic Con was a paradise compared to AX: the lines weren’t nearly as long, there were far more people but it didn’t descend into chaos, and they had professional staff running the whole... | | |

| 7:31am | The solo | | | | I've long been fascinated by a phenomenon that seems to be unique to Japanese animation - the solo animator episode, where a single person draws all of the key animation for an entire TV episode. There have been many over the decades, and it's rather common in the simply designed situation comedy style... | | |

| 11:09pm | Allison to Lillia and the train arc: the wedding cake is a lie | | | | After the fun I had at the show’s expense last time maybe it’s surprising that I’m even watching it still, let alone enjoying it.

| 4:06pm | [53] Afro Samurai Revisited |  | | | ↩[52] Introduction Perhaps Japan is rather ethnically homogenous, or I am under the impression of such a fact.
