Cream of the Fall 2010 Crop

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
Easily the best anime this season is Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Only two episodes in, and already Gainax is flexing their muscle, and showing us what no one else can do. For those who don't know: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (PSG), is an amalgamation of Japanese and American art, and style. Without spoiling anything, it shows shades of Cartoon Cartoons, explores American concepts and storytelling, and just has a lot of fun with itself.

Completely unrestrained from episode one, it puts the pedal to the metal and never lets up. The humor is completely obscene, the characters are larger than life, the animation is superb, and the plot is absolutely wild already. This one is still airing, and I highly recommend it. Check out free streams on Cruncyroll one week behind the Japanese air date, pay up for a Crunchyroll account to view it a mere 30 minutes after Japanese air date, or acquire the episodes another way. The important part? Watch it.

Grand Opening



Kemonozume
Welcome, welcome! It's the grand opening of Anime Islet! What is, Anime Islet, you ask? It's my own special place on the Internet to discuss anime. A place where I get to be correct. A place where only facts exist, and opinions are held be lesser people.

If you're anything at all like me, you've probably seen a number of anime, good and bad. The good you've seen being really creative and entertaining, the bad being incredibly worthless fanservice garbage that seem to be made for only the most pathetic otaku. I'm here to help cut through all the trash. I'm here to lead you toward works that end up making a positive impact on you. Anime Islet is a place you can trust to find anime that both expands, and plays with your imagination. Enjoy your stay!
