Heyo, the quarter century mark! And I've been at this nearly a year. Why!? Oh, right, anime's actually pretty good (except when it isn't). Featured items, after the break, are a roundup of Cartoon Saloon's movies, Song of the Sea, The Secret of Kells, and Wolfwalkers. They're not really anime, but I don't care, and you can't make me. And as a side note, thanks to one Paul Asaran, I keep having the theme song to Kujibiki Unbalance run through my head. It's a stupid

To keep it above the cut, I hereby declare this week's featured items to be 5 Centimeters Per Second and Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea.

It occurred to me that I could go ahead and write up things I'm currently watching as I finish them so I don't forget things about them, and then just paste them in as I eventually get to them. As my father in law says, it's hard work being stupid. Those and several others, after the break.

Featured items this week are Gunslinger Girl and Slayers, after the break. There are 2 series I was hoping to get finished so I could include them in this week's blog, but I couldn't quite get through them, and now I'm afraid I'm going to forget a couple of details I wanted to discuss on them. :( Next time, then, which would be... the 28th, between Christmas and New Year's. Not expecting much of an audience then, so I'll probably push it back a week.

One of these days, I just know I'm going to hit my keyboard one off and make the title "Pascoite gets vored." Thank goodness spellcheck still doesn't consider that a word.

It's a bit of an odd slate this week. Featured items are Read or Die and Scavengers, and there are a couple of rather popular series in the extra reviews, after the break.

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.

I've been watching a lot of shorter series lately, so backfilling a fair amount from earlier in the alphabet. Featured items this week are Kokkoku and Psycho-Pass, after the break.

Finished watching several new things in the last couple weeks! Well, not all of them are that new. New to me, anyway. Featured items this week are Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms and Plastic Memories, after the break.

Been a while since I did one of these, and as I said last time, I'm running out of candidates. Maybe a new influx of writers who like G5 will replenish things? I don't know that we'll see quite the huge fanfiction community as G4 inspired, but maybe.

Anyway, why does CoffeeMinion deserve a follow? After the break.

Land o' Goshen! On time this week! And freshly back from some literature wins at the county fair! (Though the number of entries was way down from usual this year.)

By chance, this week will knock out all the rest of the Satoshi Kon things I've seen, but there are more I still intend to watch. Featured items are Only Yesterday and Paranoia Agent, after the break.

A day late again, but I had to spend yesterday evening getting some things ready to enter in the county fair. I'm going to pick up a bit of a theme in the also-rans, but featured items this week are megalobox and Noein, after the break.
