Let’s go downtown!

I’ve been putting off writing about Soredemo Machi Wa Mawatteiru for a while because I wasn’t quite sure what to say about it. It’s been kind of a slow year for SHAFT, honestly–between putting out the lackluster Dance in the Vampire Bund anime, two rather unadventurous seasons of Arakawa...

C’mon baby! Feel alright! Get down with Panty & Stocking!

It’s the weekend of New York Comic Con, and I’m at the bar with some friends after having my mind blown away by the Haruhi movie.

Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto Yeah, I know there’s already three (or four, I don’t know) episodes of this thing out already, but as of right now I’ve only managed to bring myself to watch one. For starters, what’s keeping me from watching any more of this are its...
