A graph first, before anything:
After much delay and procrastination, I finished sola since it was beginning to seem clear to me that Doremi wasn’t interested getting out a release any time soon. It was a rough journey, surely. While it wasn’t the type of anime I’d look back and cringe at for having wasted X [...]
I’m sure you’ve been to a buffet before. If you aren’t paying through your nose for it it’s generally a mixed affair, with the quality of food varying from one degree to another, and in the same way too do I liken this Summer to it, because the manner of dishes served at the table [...]
They say good things come to those who wait. I couldn’t agree more, having waited ever since I saw the first episode of Darker than Black, to get my hands on the soundtrack that contained the epic post-rock track, the one that’s first played when Louie uses his powers on Hei. Yes, that one. I’m [...]
I was going to put “mass naked child events” instead of “first impressions” as the title but I figured it’d get me all types of wrong traffic. The following shows are basically what I’d like to call fluff, which is where the popcorn metaphor gets its name from. It isn’t a bad thing on its [...]
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is classy, gorgeous, ironic, outrageous, fantastic — all of that at the same time, and whoever disagrees with me obviously lacks good taste.

It’s immensely gratifying [...]
Going through a period of chronic exhaustion while forcing myself to write this post hasn’t exactly been pleasant thanks to my lack of knowledge about Claymore itself — but that all fell away when I finally decided to read all 12 volumes of the manga yesterday morning. Fun times.
I came away from the aftermath shaken, [...]
About this double-feature with Impz over at THAT Anime Blog: For those of you not in the know, there’s all manner of bloggers, about 20 give or take, that can be found over at #animeblogger @ irc.irchighway.net on a fairly regular basis. Now the average age in the channel is anywhere from late teens to [...]
I’m pleased to officially announce the relaunching of Cruel Angel Theses ?, henceforth known as Cruel Angel Theses ? (spell it that way in your blogroll if possible, because the ? is important). As for the new place, well, what can I say? The ever indomitable Randall was offering free hosting. I liked the way [...]
