I absolutely love Pixiv – I spend more time on that site than probably any other. It feeds my obsession for fanart of my favorite series, as well as the content of my Tumblr blog. For those of us that frequent this artist community, we know that trends come and go, hitting Pixiv like waves.… Read More Remembering Your First Love (Which is, of Course, Ayano Tateyama)
TWWK: Disappointed in how our reviewers have graded the spring 2014 anime season thus far? While Kaze and Japesland have generally been down on the series they’ve written about the past two days, it seems they may have saved the best for last, as they review some of the series they were highest on for… Read More Spring 2014 in Review (Part 3/3)
Endings are important, so it’s no surprise that I watched the last two episodes of MekakuCity Actors with a little more trepidation than usual.
