My reading list is usually (always) crowded with fantasy and sci-fi titles, so every once in a while I try to include books that are more or less set in the real world.

Watch | Hamatora and RE:_Hamatora
When I was checking out the summer anime titles last year, I realized that the season included Re:_Hamatora. I realized then that I have yet to finish the first season of Hamatora, and decided to just watch the series and its sequel in succession so I can do a single wrap-up. Hamatora refers to the private…

Watch | Another
image from MyAnimeList About a few weeks before I started checking out which anime titles to include in my 2012 winter picks in January, I found a subtitled trailer for Another. At the time, I had just finished watching American Horror Story and was surprisingly excited for the premiere of The River. Feeling emboldened by…
Watch | Alcatraz Season 1
