My 5 favorite anime of 2010

December 31, 2010 by Yumeka 22 Comments Before I get to the main content of this post, I just want to apologize for the recent lack of blogging. I’ve been very ill this past week and haven’t been able to do much of anything except lie in bed in a fevered stupor. Currently I’m on the road to recovery but I’m still pretty weak. However, I wanted to keep up my New Year’s tradition of picking my five favorite anime from the passing year…

My niche in anime fandom

December 16, 2010 by Yumeka 9 Comments One of the main awkward aspects of my personal niche in anime fandom is that, despite being a girl, my true favorites tend to be the “Akiba-kei” anime that have a much greater male following. But before I go further with this thought, I feel a bit of background is necessary…

Katanagatari review

December 13, 2010 by Yumeka 20 Comments ずっとね by ちゃぼ

I recently finished Katanagatari, a series by the same creator as Bakemonogatari, and one of the more unusual anime to come out this year. Its twelve episode run started airing in January, with a 50 minute episode released each month until now, December. As a whole, I thought it was good and enjoyed most parts of it, but I also had my share of issues with it as well…

Another look at the trend of frequently changing anime OPs and EDs

December 9, 2010 by Yumeka 16 Comments Earlier this year, I wrote a post about how many recent anime series have had openings and/or endings that change frequently in song, animation, or both, sometimes as often as every single episode. Though it’s happened in a few cases for older anime, it seems like the trend has really taken off this year…

Thoughts on anime shipping

December 6, 2010 by Yumeka 32 Comments Shipping – a part of anime fandom that invites some of the most extreme feelings of passion and dispassion amongst fans. Though I know there are plenty who love anime without caring about shipping, I’m sure most of us do or did have at least one shipping pair we were into. I too have gone through a few favorite ships, though more so in the old days than now…

Web browser tabs and me

December 3, 2010 by Yumeka 30 Comments One web browser feature I’ve been using a lot for the past few years is tabs. However, much to my surprise, most of the people I’ve met don’t use them, at least not as much as I do…
