I suppose I already talked about this in depth, but if anything defined my year as far as anime blogging goes, it’s the fact that I didn’t actually do it. Or at least I tried not to. Quitting was liberating, I’d lost touch with the fun of it, so it allowed me to just chill [...]

I’ve heard that Santa often brings War in the Pocket to you /m/en out there, so here’s my penultimate (that is, uh, 11th) Moment of Anime 2009. Yesterday I mentioned one of the going theories about Bakemonogatari: that either in Nisoisin’s original story or in the mind of Wackiyuki Shinbo, protagonist Ararararararagi became a parody [...]
