I’ve plugged this before, but it deserves repeating:

Natsume Yuujinchou has got to be the best anime of the season, if not of 2008. A cut above the rest, as they say. Think Fruits Basket + Spirited Away. So, how do you like your spirits?

Here is a list of anime people have been asking me about. They link to not-so-legal episode streams. Please enjoy!

• Slayers Revolution
  The 2008 continuation of the classic series. It is every bit as awesome as you would imagine it would be.
• Natsume Yuujinchou (Natsume’s Book of Friends)
  A boy who can see spirits reconciles his grandmother’s past. Reminds me of Spirited Away somewhat.
• Antique Bakery
  Adventures of a bakery entrepreneur and an epically gay gourmet pastry chef. Awesome. But with substance, too? Oh yes. I came to watch this via Leigh’s recommendation of the manga.
• Chi’s Sweet Home
  A charming story about the life of a kitten and her new family. Having lived with cats before I can relate to it, and I imagine many others would. Each episode is about 5 minutes long.

I’ll post more if anything else comes up.

I forgot to mention this: Slayers Revolution mini review.

A few days ago I watched the first episode of the new series. It feels exactly like the original. Really, it’s as if no time has passed at all; the only difference is digital coloring. I highly recommend it :3
