Wooderon Anime of the Year 2018: #8

Another day, another post where I desperately scramble about and try to paint my personal taste as an actual indicator of quality when it comes to Anime. The last thing I want to happen is me getting found out that I have no real idea what I’m talking about, and this is all waffle. That would be awkward. Writing these intros has always been a pain in the ass every year, looking for some text to shove on here before I get into the post itself proper. Now I’ve made the mistake of having to write twice as many this year…

Wooderon Anime of the Year 2018: #8

Today, I speak about a show that completely captivated me when I first started watching it. However, It was a show where, the more that happened, the less I found myself interested. It’s strange, I enjoyed just existing in a peaceful world with the characters and seeing how they lived their lives in this interesting setting. When the drama kicked in, it lost a bit of its charm. That didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment though.

Number eight will be after these links to the previous posts:

#10: Goblin Slayer

#9: Jojo’s Bizare Adventure: Golden Wind

Wooderon Games of the Year 2018: #8

Moving on from my indie sub-section, the list starts to become a little more mainstream from this point onward. Which isn’t to say that the indie games can’t reach the higher peaks of my top ten lists, but there’s always a factor of being more to appreciate in a AAA game, just through the sheer size of its development team and budget.

Wooderon Games of the Year 2018: #8

Today’s entry comes from a studio with an established pedigree, as well as a franchise with a huge existing fan base. So right from the start, the anticipation for it was high. And with good reason, as this one turned out to be a fantastic piece of videogamesmanship. I don’t want to start diving into it too much already, but it’s difficult to find a better looking game this year from both an artistic standpoint and its faithfulness to its source material.

I’ll just list the previous two entries and start digging into this one shall I:

Wooderon Anime of the Year 2018: #9

My fumbling around in the world of Anime continues this evening. Flip flopping between video games and anime as I write these has been more tricky than I had expected it to be. One more lesson to go into the pot of things I’ll probably forget by the time I get around to doing this again next year.

Wooderon Anime of the Year 2018: #9

Today’s entry is another late season show. I dabbled with the idea of leaving this show off my list entirely, with how little of it I’ve seen. But with each passing episode, I find myself enjoying the show more and more. I felt like I needed to give it some recognition for how much enjoyment it gives me. That being said, I really will have to figure out a better way of organising these lists next year. Hey, if any other anime bloggers out there want to give me their thoughts on it, feel free to do so.

Like in my video game lists, I’ll list and link my previous days entries before getting onto today’s:
