What makes a cracking horror anime?

Not moe kawaii uguu, that’s for sure!

In order to celebrate Halloween, I thought I’d write up a Halloween-themed post, namely, what is it that makes a good horror anime? The horror genre of anime used to be my favourite genre of all the animus, but over time, after having been frequently let down by it, that has since changed. Though this isn’t something I can really blame producers for- it must be unbelievably difficult to create a good horror anime when, to start with, fear is subjective, but I believe, in spite of this, there are a few trusty guidelines all horror anime should adhere to in order to be truly terrifying.

Perhaps I should have added ‘but not as much as Marow with his five fake harem members’ on to the end of that title? But anyway, I am positively delighted to have been tagged and, therefore, given the opportunity to play this game once more. John Sato, you think you have exacted your revenge by giving me what it is I adore the most, attention? Ah ha ha, I am a scab- the more you pick at me, the longer I’m going to mar your skin!!

Spring ’12 previews

Phew, so, here it is, my first season preview and boy oh boy, did that ever take some effort! Looking for the right info wasn’t what I struggled with the most but, condensing what I wrote and I’m afraid I haven’t done a very good job at that, heh heh… Don’t feel obliged to read it all in one sitting, in fact, I’d be kinda disgusted with anyone who does manage to for having so much time on their hands! Just read whatever’s most applicable to you and let me know what you guys are gonna watch, ‘kay?
