Apparently, I’ve had an Anime Planet account since December of 2009. At least that’s what my import history tells me. But it’s only with the recently unbearable MyAnimeList slowdowns that I decided to give AP a fair chance. I thought I’d take more time writing this post, but for whatever reason, it came together pretty [...]
What do you mean there’s no ~de geso~ in this?! All I can hear is Ika Musume’s voice ringing in my head… Kore wa Zombie desu ka? ~de geso~… ~de geso~… ~de geso~…
Bakuman is back for a second coeur, with a better ED, but pretty much the same, embarrassingly, terrible OP.
I think the death knell for a mystery is to have unintelligent writing. You can get away with bizarre plots and unlikeable characters, but the writing has to be smart. It has to stay at least one step ahead of the viewer, otherwise the brilliance of the detective extraordinaire will be for naught.

If you’ve ever watched the Simpsons, there was a time (maybe they still do it now, I don’t know because I haven’t watched it in like 7 years) where something inopportune would happen and a character would grab his collar, shake it, make a sheepish grin and let out a groan that sort of sounded [...]
Another week, another mediocre episode of Bakuman. I rewatched Death Note over the Christmas break, and I was just stunned at how much more dynamic the direction was in that show. When you think about it, very little actually happens in that anime. People walk around, talk, eat potato chips, write things in notebooks, have [...]
After much consternation and soul searching about whether another preview post is even worth the effort, the season preview is back. I realized the season preview is not about the info itself, it’s not even about my opinions. For me, it’s about getting the chance to think about how to design the post – deciding [...]
I think this post is mostly spoiler-free, because it’s also mostly content-free. But you probably shouldn’t read it until you’ve watched the finale.
