Summer is already here in Tokyo, even if anime still thinks it’s Spring. It’s pretty much a given that Summer is going to be a step-down from Spring for anime. In fact, in any given year it’s most likely to be the weakest season, with a relatively smaller number of […] Read more
Three weeks in, Spring 2013 looks pretty good. My take going into this season was that it looked solid – much better than Winter, but not as loaded with intriguing series as Spring of 2012* (the best season in five years, probably). At this point that’s still where I stand, […] Read more

Spring forward, Fall back? Not so much in 2012 – while Spring mostly lived up to its billing as one of the best anime seasons in the last five years, Fall – while a notch or two below that on paper – looks like it has a chance to be […] Read more
