2010: My Fourth Quarter in Anime

As the year wears to a close, I'm taking a look back at the anime I watched in its final three months. During that time, I got well into a "fifteen anniversary project" I'd been thinking about before, in which I sorted through my collection by when everything was made and picked a particular show to rewatch an episode or two for each year. While this is of course just a taste-testing tour when it comes to reminding me of stories I've seen before, it has been sort of interesting to see styles change over time. I did, though, only got from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s in those three months... although I also kept up with watching series in a more conventional vein.
( Interesting for a reason: Toradora! )

( Taking off at last: Rocket Girls )

( Second time's the charm: Gundam X )

( Diamonds and hearts: Princess Nine )

( A pleasant reacquaintance: Dirty Pair )

( Obscure for a reason?: Starship Troopers )

( Finishing off theatrically: Macross Frontier the False Songstress )

2010: Journal in Review

Once again, I'm keeping up the experiment (which I have just seen other people trying) of going back to the first sentence of the first post for each month in the year. As for what might be a bigger "personal experiment," while being put back on shift has sort of meant I'm not updating my journal as often as I used to, I'm still managing to plug away.
( A year in twelve sentences... )

See you in the new year!
