Even if it’s not great, I’m glad Hells exists

I wrote about my anticipation for Hells in my summer season preview. To recap, Hells first hit my radar in 2008 when doing my first season preview. 2008 happened to be the year Kaiba aired, a Maasaki Yuasa weird artsy series I utterly adored. While doing research for the autumn season preview, I saw there……

Spring 2012 Anime Season Preview

Welcome to The Cart Driver’s world renowned anime season preview! In the post-chartfag world, the need for season previews to simply tell you what anime are coming out has been diminished. Instead I’m here to tell you why these upcoming anime are interesting. And there are a lot of…interesting anime coming out this spring. Bar……

31-60 Favourite Anime

I made my top 30 anime post about 2 years ago. However, as I watched more anime, more started to enter the list, which inevitably caused others to drop out. Instead of losing what I wrote about them forever, I created a ‘those who just missed out’ page, devoted to holding those that got kicked……

Summer 1988 Anime Season Preview

Oh Japan. You and your crazy, perverted and awesome cartoons. Where would we be without them. Where would we be without you making even more of them. Which is what they’re doing. And here they are, the new Japanimation coming up in the summer of 1988! Project A-ko 3: Cinderella Rhapsody Type: OVA Air Date:……

January Roundup

I suppose the closest thing we got to BIG NEWSU~ is Funimation suing 1337 pirates who downloaded One Piece in what is probably meant to be a show of strength but comes off as more a show of stupidity. I’ve generally found it wise to ignore what goes on with Funimation anyway and simply wait……

Winter 2002 Anime Season Preview

With fansubs being released digitally the new way to watch anime, now more than ever we can watch what the Japanese are also watching within the same week it airs. No more do we have to wait for years before the western companies license the thing and no longer do we have to rely on……

Fall 1978 Anime Season Preview

It seems a bit strange to refer to anime as coming out in seasons, especially since most anime run from anywhere betweenbetween 30 episodes and 130 episodes. The only way anime could be referred to as coming out in seasons is if most of them lasted for only 3 months. That’s a stupid notion though.……

Occult Academy episode 6

Occult Academy continues its habit of changing director for every episode, which in turn keeps the show from ever having a consistent tone or purpose but sure as hell keeps the entertainment flowing and keeps the show from ever turning dull. The fellow who directing this episode was Ryosuke Nakamura, who’s worked on everything from……

Analysing my own top 30 by Animation Studios

Analysing your own favourite anime is an amusing passtime, however many people start to take it a bit too personally. Their favourite anime are up there because they connected with them or felt relevance with them in some form or another. That certainly isn’t the case with this post. I do not love Death Note……

September Roundup

Last month I said I would get myself a Crunchyroll account and finally get back into watching Gintama. However, with college starting, I’ve been quite busy (those parties are tough work ya know) and barely able to keep up with the weekly anime. However with Crunchyroll getting their hands of loads of anime this season (most……
