Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 2010

Getting to 2010 brings me to the end of my previous effort to “sample a little bit of anime from each year I had some from.” (Back then I was marking a merely personal anniversary connected to joining my university’s anime club by setting up a “club show” of several titles, or indeed a movie every so often, every few weeks. The shows stretched into the first months of 2011, at which point I realised I hadn’t managed to watch a single series from the previous year yet in those days just preceding widespread legitimate streaming. I wound up picking Squid Girl for my sample, and pushed on into the rest of that uncomplicated but amusing comedy series.) That does, though, also bring me to the beginning of some “personal standout titles of the past decade” retrospectives when it sort of snuck up on me (if, perhaps, in an effort to find something other than widespread fears to dwell on) that I’d actually enjoyed a good bit of anime from the ten years then ending. I’d wound up watching Sound of the Sky again afterwards; now, I’m sampling a different series.
