Mood Swings

Started watching Non Non Biyori this morning.  It’s a slow-paced show about four friends living in extremely rural Japan – so rural, in fact, that they represent the entire student population of the local school, the nearest video store is … Continue reading

Kotoura-San

After finishing Gatchaman Crowds, I needed a new show. Browsing Crunchyroll, I stumbled across Kotoura-San, a 12-episode “fantasy romantic comedy” featuring a girl who reads minds and a small cast of wacky high school friends, which sounded right up my … Continue reading

Gatchaman Crowds

With rare exception, I watch some REALLY terrible anime. I mean, sure, I’ll occasionally watch something like Psycho-Pass where the show actually has something vaguely like a message and you have to sort of pay attention, but that gets drowned … Continue reading

A month or so ago, I was looking at the “Recommended for you” page on Amazon, and the number one item was Haganai.  I don’t buy a lot of anime these days – I don’t buy a lot of physical … Continue reading
