Read More →: Does Bandai know something Netflix doesn't?About a week ago I posted that 2011, for all its problems, was a stable year for anime. It turns out that stability was short lived.

Read More →: You call yourself human?I’m not dead, just low on inspiration. That’s all I wanted to say, really, and while I’m trying to come up with some more legitimate ideas for anime blogging, I figured I may as well link a Supercar music video, by far and away my favourite Japanese rock band.

The first 10 minutes… I’ve been sitting here for 20 and I still can’t articulate everything that’s so good about it. I’m talking about the knife fight.
