As some of you may remember, I was in Japan almost exactly one year ago! And you know what? I bought a ton of books over there! I’ve been meaning to review them for a good long while, but I never actually found the time or drive to sit...

There’s honestly no point in someone like me writing a season preview post, since I really don’t have anything worthwhile to say. If you want something written by someone who actually has some decent kung-fu, I recommend that you read Ani no Miyako’s season preview. If you want something...

Between that review I wrote a year ago and those podcasts I just put out, I should hope that this is the last I have to say about Eva 2.0. For now. This isn’t going to be long, either. I simply want to say one thing that I’ve neglected...

Download [audio:http://mistakesofyouth.com/podcast2/MoY_2_ep_26.mp3] We talk about Eva 2.22! This is a spoiler-free show that mostly covers the technical aspects of the movie, so I guess it’s kind of boring? Especially since I’m not an animation expert?? Good thing Aaron and Bonertown know things. Part II will cover more spoilerific details,...

Alright guys, here’s the story: I got wrapped up in a thing that I want to leave as a surprise for now, but for it to go anywhere I need to conduct some quick and dirty research. Since I have a readership and a comments field at my disposal,...

I guess this has spoilers. I am not as allergic to works by Maeda Jun as some others can be. I can’t say I’m fan of his work,  but I do appreciate what he does some of the time. To recap a bit, Kyoto Animation’s Air, despite at times...
