The beginning
Anime I enjoyed before I was into anime
School Rumble anime review
Evangelion 1.11 impressions
Some gripes from an anime fan
The series I cannot finish
Here is a list of anime I watched over the course of the week:
A few episodes of Pani Poni Dash
A few episodes of School Rumble
A few episodes of Sgt Frog
All of Genshiken
Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone
A couple episodes of Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei
All of Fullmetal Panic: Brotherhood
So here we are, the final entry. It won't be anything long or complicated, but just some things I noticed this week that I dedicated to anime. This year's theme was "Outside your comfort zone" with new additions of Evangelion and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. They are not the typical kinds of anime that I watch. Usually I stick more along the lines of the first few on the list. Comedy series or romantic comedies. That is my vice.

Madarame FTW! |
Evangelion was about what I expected as far as mecha anime goes, but it did a good enough job that I will go ahead and watch the other movies as they come out. I haven't changed my mind about mecha anime, or ones heavily mecha-based, but I can appreciate some of the underlying themes and characterizations that the series is trying to present.

Some call it emo, I call it steampunk! |
As I said, I spent most of the week going outside my comfort zone and I found that some of it is actually quite fun! There are series I know I could never get into, but I will try harder to not let my preconceived notions hinder me from at least trying a series out or research into it. I will try to do this more as time goes on. I may be taking some time off from anime after this, but this week was a ton of fun!
So that concludes the anime-versary 2011 festivities on here. So now we go back to our regularly scheduled programming, possibly in progress.
