2012 Anime Year in Review, Part II: #11-20

All in all, this is a pretty darn impressive group of series. In some ways, the shows that don’t make a Top 10 list may be as good a measure of a year as the ones that do.  Certainly, they’re a better measure for depth in terms of quality series.  […] Read more

2012 Anime Year in Review: The Top 10

There was never really any question in my mind what my #1 anime of 2012 would be, once I started seriously considering it. #1 – Tsuritama I expected the decision about my best anime of the year between my top 2 series to be an agonizing one. I didn’t start […] Read more

Fall 2012 Check-in

Somewhat tardy, here’s the Fall 2012 check-in – and a pretty solid season it is, on the whole. My read on Fall 2012 going in was that it was deep in potentially good shows, while lacking candidates for real greatness.  On balance I’d say that expectation has largely been met […] Read more

Summer 2012 Check-in

About the best I can say about Summer 2012 is that it’s probably no worse than I feared, and offers the potential to at least be represented in the year-end Top 10 list. Once again I’m forced to ask myself whether I’m pre-judging too much, because the two shows I […] Read more

Spring 2012 Check-in

The short version – pretty damn great.  Long version is after the jump. I’ve been touting this season as a good one since the first tentative schedules began to appear months ago, and that’s turned out to be the case.  I think a strong case can be made that this […] Read more

Winter 2012 – Check-in

How does the season look now that we’re about a month in?  About like most of them have lately – pretty good but not great.  And why do all four of my favorite new shows have to air on the same damn day? There are a couple of trends I’m […] Read more

Best of the Best: 2011

It’s awards season, and a good time to finish my look back on 2011 with our own “Oscars” for the year in anime.  And the winners are… Best Song: “Cras numquam scire” by Yucca – Dantalian no Shoka OP It’s hard to top “Secret Base” from AnoHana, but this gorgeous […] Read more

2011 Anime Year in Review, Part III – Wrap-up

What kind of a year was it in anime?  To sum it up in a word – well, two – pretty good. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my favorite movie or OVA of 2011, and maybe my favorite anime of the year – Colorful.  I reviewed it […] Read more

As I mentioned in my top 10 post, the top 5 spots were pretty easy to identify this year (though not the order).  By contrast, the last few spots on that list were brutally difficult, as there were at least 9 or 10 shows that were neck-and-neck and could easily […] Read more
