A SIXTH season of Natsume Yuujinchou is coming next year!

(Of course I've roundly failed to keep up on Season 5 and have just been hoarding the eps for later consumption while I obsess over Yuletide and occasionally Yuri!!! on Ice, but I'm sure I'll manage to watch it before the next season starts...)

I didn't sleep very well last night because I kept having weird dreams ( Read more... )

So I took it in my head to get back into anime and actually picked up a few new shows this season:

ERASED: (Japanese title: Boku dake ga inai machi, lit. "The town where only I'm not there") Basically a thriller with a supernatural time-travel element. Compelling and promises some good depth.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: A mature period drama ( Read more... )

Once Upon a Fic is on again for this year. I'm not planning to sign up this time (still thinking that any writing time I assemble I should use on more self-determined projects), but it was a good time last year, so if anyone else likes the idea of fairy tale fic, I can recommend it ( Read more... )

I've been wanting some expensive toys lately. I am desiring a graphics card (seeing cool-looking PC games and always concluding "Nope, can't run it" is getting old). I'm also wanting a copy of Anime Studio to play with --- and decided this just as a new version is coming out, like, literally tomorrow; I don't know if that's lucky or unlucky ( Read more... )

So, I mentioned in my previous movie-watching post that I was planning to watch The Wind Rises for the first time that night. Well, I did, so I thought I'd come back with my thoughts.

TL;DR: not as bad as I feared, but Howl is still the last Ghibli movie to really blow me away.

( Interesting but not great )

Lately I've been in one of those voracious moods for reading. Also for watching things, mostly movies, but I'm ready to try picking up some simulcast anime again this season, too ( Read more... )

Still haven't finished the anime from last season, but the new season is starting. Given my experience the last couple of times, I was less ambitious and only picked up two shows.

Well, maybe one and-a-half, because one isn't a "new" show as such, it's just that THEY'RE MAKING NEW EPISODES OF MUSHI-SHI OMG OMG ( Read more... )

So, the anime season is wrapping up. I'm still sitting on the finales of Buddy Complex and Pilot's Love Song ( Read more... )

Oh, yeah, I remember the other thing I wanted to post about...

After totally flaking out last season, I started on four anime series this season, let them lapse for about the past month, and am trying to catch back up.

The first one I caught up on in the last few days is Buddy Complex. It's very much a conventional mecha-action show, but it's ( Read more... )
