Check-out Station: Farewell Fall 2010 season! (I stayed a bit too long.)
Fall 2010 of the anime season was the first (and probably only) season of material I tried to follow almost completely as it aired. Some may call it ambitious, I call it a f*cking chore (sorry, I watched Zero Punctuation before writing this so I may be a little “snarky” i.e. a bitch!). But regardless I had a lot of fun, watched plenty of quality anime, and some horrid ones as well. And normally I do goodbye post for every series I complete. And normally I’d have time to do that.

And all the time the show gives you the vibe that it wants to be romantic and taken seriously. I have to say, if Yosuga no Sora was a woman, she’d be a crazy one. Read more…
DonKangolJones’ Images of the Week: November 29th (There’s no limit on Pervy)
Last week of November and everything this FALL season seems to be in fine form. We pretty much know what shows are about and what shows we like; and what characters we gravitate towards and which one manage to churn the bile in our stomachs (Kirino I’m looking at you). And for now, I couldn’t be happier with what I’m getting. Despite my following way too many series at once, I still managed to get some manga reading done too. So let’s see what made the cut.

DonKangolJones’ Images of the Week
Another successful week of absorbing the drippings on Japan’s animated culture, another week of joy. And I think one thing is truly clear. Panty and Stocking rule the day (I mean week)! Read more…
