After marathoning it, the main problem appears to be one of classification:
read moreIt's hard to describe. It comes close to being "day-in-the-life" except that it isn't really. There's something of a series-level plot but it isn't very substantial, and yet it does tie everything together.
I think arguably it's a …
Writing for their new home at Wordpress, the Bros Before Shows open the Love Live:
read moreOto. I came into this show thinking it was gonna be terrible. Half joking and half because of what you told me about it. You’re wrong. I love this episode. The fuck is wrong …
read moreWhile the rest of the blogging community is rambling on about the deeper meaning behind the obscene amount of symbolism in the show, I’m left wondering why this isn’t titled “Symbolism: The Show”. The agonizing repetition of its themes and recycled scenes makes keeping …
I'm too busy to watch anything except iM@S CG, but some people watch and even blog. The summary at Anime B&B is probably most sensible among those I came across thus far, although it's incomplete (misses Kancolle). Nobar continues to demonstrate a good taste too. Looks like a …

read moreQuick dump of one completion and drop announcements for three bad series that I watched for the lack of other options.
Yama no Susume was the anime of season, although it started in Summer. Great iyashikei series, very nicely done. Not boring at all, far ahead of GochiUsa and Sketchbook …
read moreSomewhat unexpectedly, my (formerly) favourite blog came back to life with a post explaining just why it was... Everything needed to be blogged about Idolmaster Cinderella Girls 01 is there, expertly written. I have nothing to add on the substance.

CKS tried to get me into reading episodic reblogging at Tumblr, and succeeded in making me re-discover just how awful Tumblr is. This time it's not the SJW angle, but its web design. Finding anything that scrolled off the front page is an impossible task. But thanks to Liferea's cache …

I made a mistake of trying to show Katanagatari to someone who's not that much into anime in general, and it didn't go down too well. The problem is that you have to be a big weaboo to love Togame's speechifying. While the dialog ebbs and flows marvelously, the lack …
