Aim for the Top! Hisui

hisui_icon_4040 Did you not get enough of me talking about new shows in the SWAT Reviews? Did you wish to hear me talk about more about how Kate and I are apparently the only people who did not like Nobunagun in the winter?

I went on the Anime on Top Podcast to talk about both the Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 anime seasons. In the 2 part episode I was on with Bamboo Dong of Anime News Network fame to talk about the Fall lineup. Sean Russel of the A3K Network was the other expert talking about the winter shows we just watched.

The December 2013 Line-Up

narutaki_icon_4040 Wow, there was no holiday break this year, tons of news to wrap up 2013! Most notable to me was how many shojo anime reveal there were at the end of the year.

hisui_icon_4040 An interesting mix of anime titles that have been picked up while they are still pretty new but were not licensed when they originally aired on TV combined with a fairly large selection of manga titles released in a transitional manner as well as digitally.
