Go with the eagles, you desperado.

Dangit chee, don't abandon us!

It's... a thing. Definitely a thing. Not really sure what else to say about it. The ED was cool though.

Erased (2016) - complete Wow, I was sad to see this one go. It started a lot stronger than it ended (though I did love episode 10 and like episode 11), but even with some imperfections, it was a great show to look forward to every week, and I'm going to miss it! It covered a lot of things really ef...

Dimension W (2016) - 11 of 12 episodes aired I had heard lots of good things about Dimension W, so Seele and I checked it out a few weeks into the season. Dimension W is an anime that starts out as one show, then several episodes later becomes another completely different and worse show, and then b...

C) Ruin everything with a three-way tie

Erased is great; Shirobako is meh - OKish, but not really gripping. I really enjoyed them both, personally! I wouldn't put Shirobako on quite the same level, but I liked its character dynamics and found it to be a lot of fun, and often pretty tense from how well it captured the stress and struggle ...

I think episode 10 was actually made more effective for me because I knew who the killer was, watching Satoru ignore what was in front of him and unknowingly walk right into the trap. The entire car ride was nonstop dread. Also, I'd argue that Kajiura is even better now than she was a decade ago, no...

I do remember that Eps 25 and 26 weren't even going to look the way they did, and that the minimalistic approach was all a result of a huge technical error that was caught way too far down the production pipeline for anyone to really fix, and yet was too fatal for the episode to be broadcasted &quo...

I enjoyed the Nadeko episode pretty much entirely due to the massive flood of popcorn.

Koyomimonogatari has been surprisingly hit-or-miss for me so far, compared to Monogatari's usual consistency. Many of its 11-minute episodes have left me more confused than anything else, though there have been a few great ones, like Torus last week.

I like the present-day Erased episodes. Having the story span multiple time periods changes things up nicely, since Satoru has to take on a very different role in the present. Also, Airi is great.

I couldn't get more than a couple episodes into Zegapain because I found the lead character intolerable and his "this is just like one of my video games!!" shtick to be maddening.

Boku Dake has absolutely blown me away so far. I'm eagerly anticipating the next episode tomorrow. Update: Boku Dake ga Inai Machi ("Erased") continues to be incredible. Four episodes in, it's doing absolutely everything right so far -- the writing, direction, artwork, music, and voice ac...

Boku Dake has absolutely blown me away so far. I'm eagerly anticipating the next episode tomorrow.

Ah, that's cool! I hadn't seen until now that you had started working on some other Madoka fics.

Yay for updates! Very dark chapter this time. Zoya is a really interesting character, the poor thing. She lives up to her scary reputation, but her backstory and how it ties into the chapter's events make her easy to sympathize with. I was initially surprised by the relative normalcy of the labyrint...

Seele and Essel's Adventures in Anime continue. I swear we don't only watch bad shows. Everything in this post is pretty bad though. .hack//SIGN (2003) A show about players uncovering a mystery in an MMORPG, in which cheaply-produced animation and gratuitous overuse of extended still shots combine w...

Interesting. I wonder if they plan to show a different version at the Sapporo exhibit, too, or if this was just a late revision.

Huh, indeed it does! Speaking of the persistence of memory, my own apparently isn't so great. Rereading it was a good idea, both to refresh my memory and because this is a really enjoyable read. Great work! New chapter is good and I'm happy there's more to come.
