The Spring 2009 anime season is now officially over, and as usual I’m trying to churn out reviews for series that watched but didn’t blog episodically. Unfortunately, progress is a bit slow these days because I have to study for other things and I inhaled too much lead fumes from soldering at work. If the writing in this review is worse than usual, you can thank the lead fumes for that. Anyways, today’s review is for Sengoku Basara, a wild, action-packed series based on a video game.
Another anime season is nearing its end, which means it’s time once again for some end-of-series reviews. Today’s (half-assed) review is for Kurokami: the Animation, a Sunrise production that was entertaining despite having a botched plot.
It’s time again for another yearly reflections article. This is actually my fourth year as a college undergrad, but because of co-op I was still doing my third year courses. Just like last year, I only spent four months in school and spent the other eight months working as a co-op student (and am still working at the time of writing). Unlike last year however, I didn’t become very ill and therefore there are no emergency room visits to speak of. This probably means this article won’t be as exciting as last year’s, but I’m glad not to have that kind of excitement. Anyways, read on to find out what I’ve been up to in the past year.
Here is another of my short end-of-series anime reviews (more like a rant this time), and this time it’s for the disaster known as Linebarrels of Iron.
In my effort to expand my knowledge of anime and manga, every so often I will watch and review old series (as in not currently airing/in serialization) that have caught my attention for various reasons, and this time I have decided to watch the chaotic eccentricity known as FLCL.
Here is another end-of-season review, and this time it’s for the space opera Tytania. It’s the first time I’ve watched a slow-paced space opera anime, and Tytania didn’t turn out too badly.
Here’s another of my end-of-series anime reviews, and this time it’s for one of the quirkiest series of the season, Maria Holic. Does Yuri + Trap = WIN? Read on to find out.
The Winter 2009 anime season is coming to a close, which means it’s time for me to write some end-of-series reviews for the shows that I watched but didn’t blog on a per-episode basis. One of these series is Casshern Sins, which I picked up half way through its run. I was intrigued by the promise of robot combat and the unique art style that I saw in some screen shots. Casshern Sins turned out to be a decent series overall and here is my short review of the series.
Here is another short article analysis I wrote for one of my university courses last term. The artilce is “Can Technology Replace Social Engineering” by Alvin Weinberg. Just in case your didn’t know, Alvin Weinberg is a famous (at least in the academic world) nuclear physicist who writes articles from time to time, and below is my take on his article.
Yes it’s true: tonyjiang.com and its core websites (the crabbing guide and smash bros. guide) has received their 200,000th unique visitor today! Okay, there are some websites out there who get 200,000 visitors every month, but it’s still quite an achievement for my humble little sites. A big thank you to all of those who visited over the last six or seven years. I have free time to spend on these websites as I grow older and have more responsibilities, but I’ll try to add some quality content whenever I can.
