Check-in Station: 500 posts Special
Hey guys! As of the episode 10 post of Golden Time, I’ve hit an amazing 500 posts for my three (almost four) years of doing this for my own blog. I want to say thanks to any and everyone who has commented, viewed, reblogged or even retweeted my material. I’ve been doing this for as long as I have purely out of love, and a need to keep my mind active. And I’m honestly amazed that my modest blog has survived this long.
When I started, I had one goal. I wanted Read more…
Check-in Station: Monogatari Season 2 ep1 (my spirit animal is actually a spirit animal!)
Senjougahara! Welcome back! Hanekawa! Welcome back! Even you Mayoi! Welcome back! Araragi- Araragi? Araragi? Hey! Where the hell is the main character?! We’re starting a series here! Read more…
Check-out Station: Nisemonogatari eps 10 & 11: people and family are horrible things, but I wouldn’t want to be without them.
So concludes another season of leachery and monsters, or is it monsters and leachery? Or is it the leacherous monstrosity of a harem of horny monsters? No, I guess all of that is a disservice to the season and the show. It’s advanced anime for the veterans and the pervs.

DonKangolJones’ Images of the Week: Jan. 9th (The courage to use my best friend as a bottle opener.)

One of mine is to more consistently tend to my blog, which was woefully neglected for too much of 2011. And the Winter 2012 season is making this task quite easy. Not only am I finding interesting new series to delve into, but what I already have on my plate is good to outstanding. And despite the fact that much of my Shounen JUMP material is on vacation, I had no trouble finding interesting manga to read either. It’s a good start, to what is so far a good year. Let’s get started! Read more…
Check-out Station: Bakemonogatari (It was never really a harem. He’s just an awesome guy.)
Everyone has problems. Everyone has stress. Everyone has a weight they have to carry with them wherever they go, whatever they do. It reminds me very much of a scene from the movie Up in the Air where the lead character gives a seminar on life and his philosophy towards it. Basically, it boils down to freeing your mind and traveling light. It’s not that easy for most of us though. If it was, the world would be a happier place. Now imagine all that weight, all that stress, all those problems and attach an apparition to them. Something that feeds on what ails you. Do that and you generally get an idea of the problems addressed in Bakemonogatari. Read more…
