After finally getting some episode counts, I think I have my lineup set for the fall. I will be continuing (slowly) with Real Drive from before. The new series I’ll most likely be covering are Kannagi (13 episodes), Michiko To Hatchin (not sure how many episodes, probably between 24 and 26), Shikabane Hime: [...]

Fall 2008
8/26/2008 – 12:00 am
THAT has put up their preview of Fall 2008 anime series, and there sure are a lot of sequels. This time, however, most of the sequels are of series I haven’t watched, so that eliminates a lot of possibilities. I’ll be free to pick up at least 4 series, since everything I’m blogging [...]
Summer 2008
6/26/2008 – 12:00 am
I like nice art, small episode counts, sequels to shows I’ve covered, and nice long walks on the beach. Now that I have a post to link to, I don’t have to give the whole spiel again. I’ll be carrying Macross Frontier into next season, but I should have 3-4 slots free. [...]
Spring 2008
3/3/2008 – 12:11 pm
I believe all four of my series (Spice and Wolf, True Tears, Shakugan no Shana Second, and Bamboo Blade) will end soon, so the way is clear for me to pick up 4 new series this Spring. I’ve found that 4 series is a good number for me, and what I usually like to [...]
Winter 2007
1/12/2008 – 12:00 am
I’ve watched a few of the winter series so far, and I haven’t been particularly impressed so far. I almost feel like this is an annual winter tradition, but on the plus side I think I will be free and clear come spring 2008. Usually I base my initial assessment on the artwork [...]
Likely Fall 2007 Blogging Lineup
10/1/2007 – 9:53 pm
Following up on the last Fall 2007 preview, I’ve gotten some more information about some of the series. I think this might be one of the first seasons I have a completely open schedule, seeing as how I will be done blogging every single series I stuck with from the previous two seasons. [...]
Fall 2007
8/27/2007 – 10:01 am
I like to go back and read these little season previews and see how right I was. Anyway, I usually just do a quickie list and a short initial impression; please visit some of the other better crafted lists, like the one that Impz put together or the amazing collection of sprites that Aroduc [...]
Summer 2007
6/20/2007 – 8:30 am
Next season looks to be an interesting one, between all the anticipated sequels and series based off popular source material. I’m looking forward to adding some lovu lovu to my anime diet, as the Spring season was great, but very shounen (for me). As usual, I almost always base my initial reactions on [...]
Spring 2007, Second Opinion
3/29/2007 – 2:48 am
Like Kabitzin, I’ve been pretty disappointed with most of the shows this season, save for a few choice morsels. I almost feel like this is a neverending cycle of high hopes and major letdowns - it’s certainly been quite awhile since I’ve felt a season was actually burgeoning with quality series. Such was [...]
Spring 2007
3/28/2007 – 1:50 pm
I usually do a list of the top shows I’m watching at the end of every month, but this month I couldn’t bring myself to. Basically, I watched Code Geass (which was excellent) and the ending of Soukou no Strain (which was ok). Other than that, I’ve really felt like the last few [...]
Summer 2006
6/10/2006 – 11:52 am
Wootastic, the summer schedule is up! Aside from the sequel to Honey & Clover, I’m not anticipating too much, but a lot of the shows look to at least be a fun watch. Like Tsuyokisu and Zero no Tsukaima. It’s hard to come up with accurate predictions just from a few images [...]
You Lost Me at Hello
4/12/2006 – 10:41 am
I was reading Jason’s piece about first impressions and I gotta say that I have no problems with dropping a series and making sweeping generalizations after only one episode. Sure, I’ve been wrong before (ex. Magikano, Last Exile), but people generally set me right after they’ve done the hard work of slogging through crappy [...]
Winter 2005
12/8/2005 – 8:11 pm
Just as we were getting comfy with the fall 2005 shows, the winter 2005 schedule arrives to steal the thunder. A lot of my favorite fall season series are winding down, so maybe I’ll be able to be more ambitious with what I cover. Once more, here are some irrational views on the [...]
