F Is For Fafner
Well, as you may recall, last week I did some capsule reviews and expressed my opinion on the first half of Fafner. I have since finished the series, so now I will revisit said review, albeit a little more in depth. There may be spoilers.
Capsule Anime Reviews
Well, not much of interest to talk about this week in terms of visual media... At least on my end. So I figured I would put up some quick capsule reviews of recent anime I have been watching:
Gurren Lagann: Nothing sums this up better than the term "over the top". With an interesting plot, exceptional character development, and fun, drill-themed robots, this show is a must watch. Trust me, it is the most epic thing you will ever see.
Anime!!!!!!! …Is Dying…
So the bubble burst. With absurd amounts of anime coming out every year, it was only a matter of time that it would start to die.
Animenation is reporting that the Asahi newspaper ran an article interviewing Yasuo Yamaguchi, the managing director of The Association of Japanese Animations, who basically says it's all going downhill. The article, of course, is in Japanese, but here is the link to the Animenation blurb:

Tragic, really. I guess I'll just keep watching my old 80's anime...
