Apologies for the delayed final few Strike Witches posts. It’s the end of the spring break now, which means it’s time for me to stop doing mostly nothing and start finish the schoolwork I’ve been putting off. Which, in turn, means I don’t really have time to sit down and hammer out the rest of [...]

Avenues for loli-haters: on the Handley thing
Let’s talk about Christopher Handley for a minute. I don’t really want to, as I don’t much care to advertise my views on the matter. But there seems to be, as Anime Almanac’s Scott VonSchilling notes, a bit of an imbalance in popular opinion of the Handley case. Which is fine, of course, but it [...]

Adventures in Criticism: Taking Root
Augh. Obviously, if you bothered paying attention to my efforts to engage in the now-traditional “12 moments” project, you know I failed. Mostly I blame my too-busy semester, during which I watched almost no anime. As my professor (who sometimes reads my blogs — hello, if you’re reading this one!) said, it was indeed true [...]

Multimedia adaptation and the act of consumption: an outline
Like Cuchlann, I find myself mired in schoolwork and related things. It’s Thanksgiving break, yes, but it’s still difficult to blog when I know I should be writing an essay about Darwinian rhetoric in Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, or researching transversal poetics and presentism.

Mari, the righteous mom
This post is a quickie, as it’s more about getting feedback than positing some position and buttressing it with evidence. I don’t have that evidence, see, and you lot may be able to help me more than conventional research. Not to worry, it’s not about something arcane; it’s about Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, which every fan [...]

Adventures in Criticism: too many for a number!
Actually, it’s the seventh, but I figure now’s as good a time as any to stop numbering them and just admit they’re a (semi-)regular feature. Woo! Anyhow, this time I’m doing an essay called “Coming to Terms” by Gary K. Wolfe. It’s short, so hopefully I can get this entry done before the scourging weather [...]
