Anime Year 2011 – It was a pretty awesome run

2011 was truly an awesome year for anime. Well, some might say otherwise, but, for me at least, it was very fulfilling. I’m pretty sure that it’s the first year that I’ve tried following all seasons, from Winter up to Fall. I only started watching ongoing series come Fall 2010 (for Index II and Shinrei Tantei Yakumo, which tanked. Bigtime.) So yeah, looking back at January 2011, I’d say it was a good start for me.

Saa Christmas!~

As the first Christmas for Leap250’s Blog, I’d like to wish you all, a very, very..

Merry Christmas ^^

I didn’t have the chance to make a more special post this year, as compared to my fellow ani-bloggers, but all the same, I’m stoked that I made it to Christmas (if this counts as “making it to Christmas”) *pulls a party popper*. I’ll try to take this as a challenge – that I reach next year’s Christmas and make some nice Christmas related posts.

But, for now, to all those who had that tiny spare time to chance upon this post, I wish you guys, fellow ani-bloggers and readers, a Merry Christmas, have fun, and “here’s a party night from me to you”

What if you joined a sporting club instead of the school publication? How different would your life be then?

Yes, very much like branching paths in a visual novel, a different outcome could have occurred had we chosen a different option. This “What if..” scenario is the key element in The Tatami Galaxy.

Summer 2011-Fall 2011: Mawaru Penguindrum – penultimate

It has come to this point. We are now one stop away from alighting the craziest train ride this year, if not of all time. Let us take a look from the station we departed last and see, how far we traveled, with our heads on our hands and our brains bullied, all the while watching it all unfold.

Fall 2011: Un-Go – penultimate

Hey guys ^^

It has been, more or less, a month since my last update, and prior to that I lapsed into some sort of unprecedented hiatus. Worry not though, ’cause I ain’t quitting yet. So yeah, since it’s my holiday break I thought, what better chance to bring this blog to life.

To kick things off, I’m here to talk about the penultimate episode of the mystery/fantasy Fall 2011 series, Un-Go.
