Hey guys

I Heard you Like Lists: Five Anime I don’t really care for
I don’t do negative stuff on Shallow Dives in Anime. There is too much of it on the internet. But that doesn’t mean I don’t call things like it is. I love a lot of anime, but there are some that I just really don’t give a fuck about. This is a list of that stuff, but with thoughts and ideas that I think are fair and balanced. So let’s get into it after the cut.

Don’t @ Me: Six of my Anime Opinions: Dewbond got a Speeding Ticket Edition
It’s Monday, which means it is time for this! Welcome to Don’t @ Me!

This week I’m talking about the usual shit, just with a fucking 40 dollar ticket attached. Let’s get into it after the cut.

Don’t @ Me: Six of my Anime Opinions: Back from Break II Edition
It’s Monday, which means it is time for this! Welcome to Don’t @ Me! The place where, like Kallen from Code Geass, I just can’t keep my top on as I give my thoughts, views and opinions on everything in the Anime world. Last week I took a break from the blog after the twofer of the Summer of Love and my Third Year anniversary. Now rested and recharged I’m ready to get back on the beat. Let’s get into it after the cut!

Three Years of Shallow Dives in Anime
This week will mark the 3rd anniversary of Shallow Dives in Anime! I can’t believe that much time has passed, and frankly, I can’t believe that I’ve managed to keep it up.

Three years in, I’ve been shocked at how well the blog has done. It has always been a passion project of mine, something I used to get my thoughts out in the world instead of letting them stew in my mind. I haven’t set out to re-write the book on blogging, or give out some great, grandiose thoughts on this or that anime. I’ve just been a dude attempting to throw out his opinions on shows he likes, and perhaps do so with an honest and open mind.
That honest and open mind has, over the three years solidified into the real purpose of this blog. Hyperbole, cliquishness and arrogance is all over the place, and people would rather twist the words of this or that show to fit their viewpoints, instead of seeing things for what it is. I have tried to do the opposite. I don’t see anime for what it wants to be, I see anime for what it is. To cut through the bullshit and deliver points that are short, sweet and get to the gist of the matter.
Whether it is the brutal truth surrounding Wonder Egg Priority. Going to bat for Gundam SEED, talking about difficult ideas revolving Fate/Illya’s Kuro. Admiring the sheer courage of Redo of Healer. Trying to split the difference over Faye Valentine, or seeing what is good in shows that may not be. I’ve approached every anime that has crossed this blog, good or bad, sweet or sour, with a measure of fairness. There is very little I will not talk about on this blog, and whatever does come up almost always has something special to share.
As always I have many people to thank: Crow, Irina, Lynn, Scott, Yomu, Pete, Jon Spencer,, iniksbane and infinitezenith for always being there for chat or comment. And most of all to you. If you have taken the time to look at one of my posts, leave a like, or even a comment. Know that you have always brought a smile to my face. and warmth to my heart.
So here is to three years of Shallow Dives in Anime. You can look forward to the Thursday post with the celebration review. One that has been a long, long time coming. I am very interested in seeing what people think, but for now, all I can say is this.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Don’t @ Me: Six of my Anime Opinions: Tang Edition
It’s Monday, so it’s time for this! Welcome to Don’t @ Me!

Parallel Paradise Volume 4: Digging for Cod
Our look at the manga series Parallel Paradise continues! It’s been a while since we’ve returned to this series, but I finally got my hands on the next part of the series. As always I can never be less surprised that I can purchase this series both A) in a bookstore, and B) with an official English translation. That’s never going to be something that doesn’t shock me. Either way, plenty to get to, so after the cut let’s dive into the fourth volume of Parallel Paradise!
