This Week: Cipher
I was snowed in for part of the week, and it is about to happen again, so let’s talk about… America.
I feel like I want to break out an old timey radio for a fireside chat or something. Or maybe just a 1980’s boom box.
Hangers: Autumn Anime, Week Ten
This Week: Kill la Kill, Nagi No Asukara, Miss Monochrome, Coppelion, Non Non Biyori, Gingitsune: Messenger of the Fox Gods, and Gundam Build Fighters.
I have a pile of snow outside and at least two of these shows are in active winter-like conditions, so that was kind of a fun synergy this week.
Mothballs: Soups And Strings May Break My Bones, But Muybridge Never Hurt My Cat
This Week: Muybridge‘s Strings and Cat Soup
A late Thanksgiving means December snuck up on me this year, so I need to get cracking on some Really Fun Posts I have planned and eventual end of the year writing shenanigans. As such, while I develop more of a head start on those, the round of dives into the anime backcatalog swamp this week gunned for short artsy pieces.

Hangers: Autumn Anime, Week Nine
This Week: Kill la Kill, Nagi No Asukara, Miss Monochrome, Coppelion, Non Non Biyori, Gingitsune: Messenger of the Fox Gods, and Gundam Build Fighters.
I’m actually wearing a suit while typing up this week of episodes, so even if not every show is fancy, at least I can be!
Mothballs: Loves Once Drifted Macross The Stars
This Week: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012
Due to the Thanksgiving week curveball, this was a tight series of days for diving into any lengthy backcatalog anime.
As such I popped in only a little something easy to watch and write about, where practically everything about it is already a spoiler, so please be advised of that minefield.

This Week: Kill la Kill, Nagi No Asukara, Miss Monochrome, Coppelion, Monogatari Series: Second Season, Non Non Biyori, Gingitsune: Messenger of the Fox Gods, and Gundam Build Fighters.
Holiday travel shmalliday travel, time to try and talk about animated television with an even more animated dachshund trying to get at my keyboard!
Mothballs: The Megalopolis Is Doomed And Nobody Knows Kung Fu
This Week: Doomed Megalopolis
At the risk of sounding patently insane to a certain subset of folks given its notoriety and it being on the “bad end” of Rintaro’s directing career, this may very well be a production that time and age has been at least a little kind to.

Hangers: Autumn Anime, Week Seven
This Week: Kill la Kill, Nagi No Asukara, Miss Monochrome, Coppelion, Non Non Biyori, Gingitsune: Messenger of the Fox Gods, and Gundam Build Fighters.
With the midseason hump behind us, we begin our descent down for wherever loops these rides hope to go pursue before the autumn finales.
Pendant Light: Source Wars
I have never seen the source material for some of my favorite anime, and that is a-OK.
Mothballs: Damsels In Distress, More (And Less) Than Meets The Eye
This Week: The Five Star Stories and Black Magic M-66
The eternal gift of the OVA and short anime film market: the ability to retreat from trying to keep tabs on too many currently airing shows and larger series projects in progress while still having the satisfaction of being able to get to a finale.
