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
No huge surprises here. I felt pretty confident Attack on Titan was going to claim the top spot in the poll, but I’m mildly surprised to see RDG hang onto second place after its lukewarm reception. For those of you who like to compare, the RC poll is currently running […] 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
What Summer Series Are You Most Looking Forward To? No surprises here, as SAO dominated utterly. I can’t help but think I’m drawing a lot of like-minded readers, given how close the results hew to my own tastes (Natsuyuki and Jinrui certainly placed higher here than anywhere I’ve seen) – […] Read more
