    This show is batshit insane. It aired this past summer in Japan, but I just came across it now. I watched the first episode the other day, and I do plan on watching the rest. The basic premise is that the main character (“Mob”) has psychic powers, and is being used by another character (who…

    This is a series that just started this month, but that I hadn’t included in my list of shows I wanted to watch. I’ve seen the first 2 episodes that have aired so far, and although I’m not absolutely sold on it yet, I do quite like it. It’s set in an alternate WW2-like history (bordering…

    This is a series that aired in Japan at the start of the year, and I just happened to come across. I’ve watched the first 3 episodes, and absolutely love it. It’s a sci-fi story that takes place in a near-future where energy is supplied to the world thanks to the discovery of an energy-rich…

    As I mentioned in my fall 2016 post, the second season of this Gundam series started this month, and that got me wanting to check out the series from the start. I’ve gotten into Gundam this year in a big way, but have been sticking so far with shows that take place in the Universal…

    One of the series I mentioned wanting to watch in my fall 2016 anime post was Occultic Nine —  it finally launched and I got to watch the first episode. What I wrote then pretty much stands. The one aspect of the show that really turns me off is the inclusion of a character with ridiculously…

    The next few posts are going to be about anime series I’ve been watching over the past few days. Some of them are new series for this fall season that just started — and that I mentioned in this post, which I’ll update to add links to my thoughts on the shows I was interested…

    Want to get some lovely Parappa the Rapper and Rodney goods? The Rodney Fun Shop (or RodneyFun.Com Shop) is there for you, jam packed with all manner of merch covered with the art of Rodney Alan Greenblat’s characters. So much stuff I’d love to get here. And speaking of these characters, a new series of…

    The latest episode of the excellent web documentary series Toco Toco features animation producer Shoji Murahama. Originally working at Gainax, and then founder of Gonzo, it’s interesting to see him here working at Emon Animation Company, a Chinese company that aims for a global audience and produces series for web streaming.

    I’m going to go against the grain and say that I actually quite enjoyed watching Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. My friend James didn’t like it much, as he wrote in this review, and although I can’t fault a lot of the points he brings up, I was dazzled by the visuals. The action sequences are…
