End of X Days, Merry Christmas to all

I could talk about how I’m disappointed with how everything’s gone so far. I could talk about how I’ve stupidly forgotten to post up posts written for Psycho-Pass, EOY and Leviathan. I could lament about the end of an era, or some over-glorified triviality, but I shan’t.

It’s the holiday season. New Year’s Day is around the corner, but before that, we have presents to exchange, and to receive. To keep a post short and sweet, here’s wishing anyone reading this Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year in advance! I’ll be taking a break until 2013, and during that time I’ll be trying to work something out for the future of AOIA and beyond that. In any case, go forth, and engorge yourself on lots of food, or whatever people do to actually celebrate Christmas….?

Merry Christmas.

This process repeats from the day we are born until the day we die. Forever and ever. It is depressing. It is shameful. But it is dear to us. “

8 Days to the Apocalypse – Ep5: ANGST. ANGST

I talk about Angst in fiction and I recommend a few of my favourite angsty yuri manga

Yeah, not much else happens. I whine about angsty whining and I talk about Yuri passionately. Business as usual

Why are you still reading this. Just watch the f******g video.

8 Days to the Apocalypse – Ep4: Another Sucks!

I talk about my dislike for the horror anime, Another. It was quite a terrible experience watching it, especially because it crushed my hopes for it rather prudently.

By the way, enjoy the new intro I spent lots of time working on!

X Days to Christmas: Moving on to Mangoes

RonContinuing from yesterday’s post, I attempted to brush aside my lack of actual anime articles with excuses about other preoccupations preventing me from writing more often. However, ironically enough, one of these preoccupations appears to be my newfound love for manga – and a specific genre of it.
