I started way too many new shows this season. D: 15 of them, plus a few continuing ones. Now my evenings are too full. ;-; Anyway, only one real feature this time, a 2005-7 series, Emma—A Victorian Romance (oddly enough, it's a romance), but also one highly recommended short. Extras are two recently finished winter shows plus a couple of movies that just came out last week.

—WritingSpirit here! Thought of doing this for weeks now, being the anime-binging loser that I am. Have watched a lot of shows in the past season, so I thought why not, you know? Keep in mind that shows that are still ongoing wouldn't be covered, namely Boku no Hero Academia, Re:Creators, Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul, and Sakura Quest. Sagrada Reset, however, will be here for reasons one shall find out later. Reviews are all after the break!

… and keep the best ones

When I worked for Zoesis, I once did a test animation of one block chasing another block around a… third block.  (Drawing's hard, okay?) I animated by writing computer code to control each character. About 15 times a second, at least one behavior for each character would execute that updated its speed and heading according to where it wanted to go and what was in its way.  (It used a behavior-based robot architecture, if you know what that is.)

I cried so many time's

Whoopsy daisy, almost forgot to update this blog. Sorry it’s a day late.
Did I ever show you the pony animation I made? It’s a little fast and has no sound, but here it is:

Digging into a couple slightly longer things lately, so I don't have to fill in much of things I recently finished. Who knew a random assortment of titles would be short on the letter R? I guess the pirates stole them all. Featured items this week are Ghost in the Shell: Arise – Alternative Architecture and O Maidens in Your Savage Season, after the break.

Featured items this week are ERASED and all things Tenchi Muyo!

I'm on a couple of new missions. One I'll hit on below, but I've also added a bunch of series that composers I really like worked on, so with any luck I'll have some great soundtracks to listen to. I also finished enough stuff recently that I'm backfilling again instead of getting further through the alphabet.

Still plowing through lots of movies and short series lately. So I'm sorry, Augie, still barely inching toward Toradora! Featured items this week are an oldie but goodie series, Haibane Renmei, and a short movie, The Garden of Words, after the break.

Would have finished the alphabet this week, but I filled in a series that qualified for a feature. Need to find one more for next time! Featured items are a series from about a decade ago, Bunny Drop, and one a little newer, Your Lie in April, plus three other series and a movie, after the break.

Featured items this week are Mary and the Witch's Flower and Space Dandy, after the break. This clears my backlog from Christmas vacation, and the end of the alphabet is in sight! I'm perpetually annoyed by the number of series I've had to skip reviewing for now because they're hanging in a sort of limbo as to whether there will be any more seasons of them, not to mention the ones that definitely are. Oh well.

Early in the day today, but I have way too much to catch up on tonight. I'm about to run into a section of the alphabet without many very good or excellent ratings, so I'll plow through as many as I can today just to take the pressure off next week. Featured series are Eureka Seven and Flying Witch, plus the usual additional quick reviews, after the break.
