Breaking into the super robot genre has proven difficult for me, so I asked the wise OGT to point me toward a few shows that might help. Among other things, he recommended Gunbuster (aka Top wo Nerae!) — you may already know this, given all the fanboying I did over the show and its sequel. [...]

As the twenty-second episode of ~After Story~ puttered to a halt, I hung my head in shame — shame for my falling for it at least partially and being sort of happy in the end, but mostly shame for KyoAni for doing exactly what I thought they’d do.

Adventures in Criticism pt. 3

Adventures in Criticism pt. 2
Part one of my grand adventure was a little strange. After sleeping on it, I think it’s because I wussed out and posted before finishing the entire first section of the book.
