The Book of the Shadows

Alright, here we are again. At this point I think there are only about two or three anime that haven’t ended for the season (at least one that has ended and I will review but whose final episode I haven’t had the chance to watch yet). That means it’s time for me to do a wrap up on this 2013 summer anime season in preface to a preview of the fall 2013 anime season already upon us.

I know I said I wouldn't... but here's another anime update for the mid-point (roughly) of the summer anime season...

While getting set for my next release, I've found myself contemplating a thought I've had before. It's a common question - how long should an anime be? In general the question can be applied as easily to any story, but I tend to think about it most as  related to anime purely because of my regular exposure to anime. The fact is, knowing when to stop is as important as knowing how to begin.

The spring 2013 anime season is either done or wrapping up now. Last Friday I let you know what I thought were the hits and misses of the last season. Now, I am looking forward to the summer season. So the first thing I will note is that there are three anime from last season that are continuing. Those are Attack on Titan, Majestic Prince, and Scientific Railgun. My choice for best of the season, Valvrave, will be returning with a second season in October, so I will try to be patient and wait for that.
