Anime OP AMVs, crossovers & parodies…
I know, I know. A couple of weeks back I said that “it’s unusual to use the music from one anime to make an AMV for another”…. But there’s actually a special case where that’s less unusual. Combining the OP track from one anime with footage from a second anime to create a crossover or parody opening sequence.
And why does Renge feature as my introductory image? You’ll have to hit the jump to find out!

Spring 2018 – Week 4
Another week, another roundup of this week’s shows.
This week’s surprise discovery – a character’s name in a series this season has an unexpected real world meaning. What character? What meaning? You’ll have to read the entry to find out!
Seriosuly, I love sharing the odd side bits of information I find when researching shows.

My notes & votes – the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2018 – part 2/3
It’s that time of year again! Crunchyroll is asking us, the users and viewers, to choose what anime are worthy of awards in a large span of categories. I thought I’d write up what I’m voting for and why for your amusement. This post covers the second group, which we’ll be voting on next week (01/29-02/04).
Hit the jump, and let’s dive right in!

Summer begins to fade… Summer 2017 Week 11
Well, it’s the first day of Fall today and we’ve already had our first round of cold and rain here in the Pacific Northwet. That fits perfectly with this week’s summer season shows, which are almost all finale or penultimate episodes.
Let’s hit the jump and get right to it!

Summer 2017 – Week 10
Once again working on a weekly post to the dulcet tones of the landscaping crew’s leaf blowers. Ah, well, at least it’s nice enough to have the windows open. Even as the Summer anime season draws to a close, so does summer itself. Likely by the time the Fall season gets underway the Pacific Northwet’s long and cold rainy season will have set in.
Anyhow, pretty much all shows have now aired their tenth and eleventh episodes, so the final cards are hitting the table. So, along with episode reviews and comments I’m going to peer into a murky crystal ball and look at how they’re likely to end.
Let’s hit the jump and get the party started!
Summer 2017 – Week 9
Man, it’s been hard to finish up this entry today… The weather is finally much more clement, but the air is still smokey. On top of that, the landscaping crew has been hard at work today and their !#@$ leaf blowers always give me a mild headache.
Anyhow, ’tis done – so hit the jump and let’s run down this week’s shows. Afterwards, drop me a line in the comments and let us know what you think of this week’s shows.
