Looking back on... | | |
| 11:09am | Review: Sword Art Online | | | | Sword Art Online is pretty sweet. The art design is cool, with each each floor being vast and varied as far as setting goes; the concept of having to climb a 100-story tower with a boss at the end of each one is neat; and the combat and skill systems look like they are programmed very well! Oh wait,... | | |

| 11:42pm | January 2013 Anime Previews: staff, cast, story, pic, trailer, manga, etc. | | | | Last season was one of the best I can recall.

| 5:30pm | Gunslinger Girl: IT IS SO SAD | | | | 2011 lulled me into a false sense of security. Metal Fighter Miku was far from the best anime I ever watched but it was not horrible. In fact we loved episode ten. And we actually had to CHOOSE between that and Rune Soldier. It was so nice to participate in secret Santa and not make it into Sophie’s... | | |
| 10:34am | (20)12 Moments of Anime | | | | Happy Holidays!

| 9:59am | Hidamari Sketch Timeline | | | | Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb has started and that means more slice-of-life goodness! I have polished up my timeline, made more sense out of the old post found below (was I awful in writing back then) and I am ready to update my timeline accordingly! This post will be made sticky as long as this season... | | |
| 4:01am | Year In Review 2012: A Sengoku Collection Episode Collection | | | | Sengoku Collection is a 26-episode TV anime. Read this review for a good idea what it’s about. Actually, given I have yet to come across a Sencolle review that I disliked, you can read any review out there as long as it’s written by someone who has seen the whole thing. The pure episodic... | | |
