2007: My Middle 4 Months in Anime

Four months ago, I got around to writing a post that looked back at the anime I had watched in the first third of the year. Now, I'm doing that again. All in all, I'd say I've been interested in and enjoying what I've seen in the last four months; fears that I might somehow just plain "burn out" seem to have gone into remission since I adjusted what message boards I read to step away from some people who seem unfortunately to have "burned out" somewhat themselves. That should be more or less a good thing, because I've managed to pile up a stockpile of unwatched DVDs through a number of online back-catalog sales. Getting around at last to series I hadn't quite managed to preorder might amount to insurance against the slightly less serious form of "burnout" where someone finds themselves uninterested in the anime being released now, but I remain interested in about as many new releases as I've ever been, so I guess I'm left to chip away at my "backlog" whenever I can.
( Reflections at great length ahead! First: reexperiencing something )

( Two long series finished, one long series started... )

( Similar or different? )

( One anime I didn't get around to buying )

( And more repeated experiences, each slightly different )
