ExtraCareful's Soundtrack Pick of the Week

Rejoice! Yet another Soundtrack Pick of the Week. I'll be delving into more creative stuff (outside just anime series) later, since I have been scavenging around AnimeSharing for individual albums...too bad they just release random stuff as it comes into their reach though. Much cleaner than JPz downloads though.

Happy Holidays: Otaku Style

Warning:  to say that this is image heavy would be an understatement.

Well, 'tis the season to be jolly, to drink hot cocoa, and to wait for gifts from an overweight man in red who constantly seems to barge down people's chimneys regardless of security measures. Don't ask me what he does if there aren't any chimneys. But it is also the season to write college essays take a well earned break, and perhaps marathon a series or two! So here are a series of pictures which should help get you in the holiday spirit! Most are christmas oriented (i.e. girls dressed up in santa outfits), some just have snow in the background (despite northern VA's lack of it), and some just look festive (i.e. red, green, yellow stuffs). But hey, it's all good.

...we'll keep this as SFW as possible. But I'm pulling a bunch from Danbooru (which in turn pulls them from pixiv), so no promises. Going along with that, no one at Infinity And One claims any ownership of these images unless otherwise stated.

Now...enjoy

Expectations: Winter 2012 Anime (January/February)

Happy holidays guys! To make your days even better, we've got a very convenient set of previews for you to read for each of the upcoming anime series (not OVAs, too many random ones popping up nowadays) this winter. Nothing like reading about how terrible this season's A Channel imitation will be by the yule log, eh? Furthermore, we have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR differing opinions to get the full blast of how each series will probably be perceived. So without further ado, here's the blog team and the color code - let's get on with it! (Note: due to the lower quality and high quantity of seemingly terrible series this season, please understand that some comments will be cut short, often to "urgh" or "god this is gonna suck". Bear with us.)

Extracareful - blue (because who the hell else would watch Tamayura with me)
NotMoe - green
BartreTheBeast - red
CrimsonMonarch - pink cuz im a boss

Oh and I'm only including series here that are not sell-outs OR create brain aneurysms. That means YOU, Tantei Milky Opera Holmes.

Mashiro-iro Episode 12 Triumph

I'd just like to point out the following [SPOILERS AHEAD]:

More! More songs! (This one was late because I crashed after that sudden deadline post)

Because Free Money is Good: Last Minute Panic Challenge Accepted Mashiro-iro Conclusion Predictions

Due to a request, I have here a last-minute review/predictions post before Mashiro-iro Symphony episode 12 comes out (today, holy shit). Personally, there's not a lot of pathways the plot can go; the major problem is that the characters are so wishy-washy. I'm not sure how accurate I will be compared to previous "successes" (e.g.: Ano Hana), but I will try. Here goes!
