Fall 2025 – Settling in and looking forward!

OK, as promised I’m back…  And <knock on wood, crossing fingers> things should be back to normal around here.  Though of course, “normal” is a word used advisedly any time I’m involved.  So, first up a bit of a catch up on what’s been going on in my life and then we’ll dive into the new season.

All this after the jump!

Final Episodes (and season reviews)! Ready! Go! – Winter 2021


Whew! It’s been a long, busy, crazy season! But here we are, wrapping it up. Not much to say in the intro this week, because I say lots down in the body of the post… Hit the jump and let’s run the season down!

Plans revealed! – Winter 2021 – Week 11


I almost titled this week’s post “Endgame“, but that’s not an easy word to use lightly nowadays… Right or wrong, Avengers: Endgame loaded it with baggage and unsubtle connotations. But for Attack on Titan: Final Season and Dr. Stone: Stone Wars it’s definitely suitable.

Hit the jump, and let’s enter the endgame!

Diamonds and coal – Winter 2021 – Week 8

Winter 2021 – Week 7


A day late and little less complete than I hoped because my wife and I spent good part of yesterday dealing with the aftermath of an overflowing washing machine… But I decided with all these shows, I didn’t really want to delay it an entire week.

Plus, if I waited an entire week I wouldn’t be able to talk about the premiere of Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House!

Hit the jump, and let’s dive in!
