Continuing from last week’s post, here are the rest of my reviews for this season’s anime I completed (also threw in the final three episodes of OreImo since I haven’t discussed them yet)…

After a disappointing winter season, I’m happy to report that so far I’m pleased with the spring anime I’ve seen…
My favorite and least favorite anime cliches
October 4, 2012 by 24 Comments
As much as we love anime, there’s no denying that the medium is, for better or worse, full of cliches. But as I’ve mentioned in past posts, this isn’t always a bad thing; I’m of the opinion that a cliche doesn’t necessarily equal poor writing if it carries out an appealing cliche well or adds something memorable to it. Not only does anime have its own set of unique cliches not found in other mediums, but because it caters to a lot of different genres, it naturally has cliches to match all kinds of tastes. We all have our anime cliches we like and don’t like, so today I’d like to look at my favorite and least favorite ones…

In a recent post on deluscar, Kai talks about how the order of watching anime with multiple installments can affect our enjoyment of it…
A certain magical Index that’s lacking
April 4, 2011 by 23 Comments
About a year ago I watched To Aru Kagaku no Railgun and found it very well written and enjoyable. I knew it was a side-story of another series, To Aru Majutsu no Index, which I hadn’t yet seen. Since I liked Railgun so much, I decided to watch both seasons of Index soon after. And now, after completing season 2, I feel that something was definitely lacking…
Anime powers I would like to have

I’m sure this is something we’ve all given thought to at some point during our fandom. I was inspired by a post from Glo about anime powers I would like to have, and have since come up with a list…
My 5 favorite anime of 2010
December 31, 2010 by 22 Comments
Before I get to the main content of this post, I just want to apologize for the recent lack of blogging. I’ve been very ill this past week and haven’t been able to do much of anything except lie in bed in a fevered stupor. Currently I’m on the road to recovery but I’m still pretty weak. However, I wanted to keep up my New Year’s tradition of picking my five favorite anime from the passing year…

“biribiri”
I came up with this idea a while back and have been wanting to try it out. It’s a pretty random project I know, but I thought it would be fun. Turns out, I had a blast making it, so I hope you’ll derive at least some amusement from it too…
Anime worlds I would like to visit
August 2, 2010 by 33 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, Caraniel came up with a great idea for a post that entails thinking about which of the various anime worlds you would like to visit. I thought it would be a fun thing to try, so like Caraniel, I came up with a list of five worlds in anime I would enjoy spending time in…
There are two types of character development in anime…
March 31, 2010 by 5 Comments
When asked what one of the most appealing aspects of anime is, fans will usually mention character development. However, I’ve often wondered exactly what defines character development, at least in terms of anime narratives. Over the years, I’ve come up with two prominent types of anime character development, though I’m still debating whether that’s what they should both be called…
