A note here: my Natsuyuki Rendezvous review is the most "spoiler-ish" of all the reviews I've written so far. I pretty much spoil the entire show, as a matter of fact. ^^; My SAO review contained spoilers too - there's a definite trend there, so I think I'm going to put out a blanket statement on my use of spoilers. If I review a show I like, I will most likely avoid spoilers as much as possible - because I want you to watch said show for yourself. If I review a show I dislike, there's a greater chance I will use spoilers in the review because more often than not, some of those spoilers are the reason I dislike the show, and I'm trying to get you NOT to watch it. XD It's easier just to assume that spoilers could pop up anytime, but I wanted to warn you this time just in case there's someone who's REALLY pining to see Natsuyuki. I advise against it, but still. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the reviews! Look forward to more in the future! ^_^ And more new artwork, of course!

Anime Recollection 2012 Reviews - Part 2
Good evening folks - look how quickly I have returned! As promised, I am releasing the remaining three reviews for my 2012 Anime Recollection today. From here on out, as I stated before, reviews will be an occasional thing. I'm not planning to do announcements on when certain reviews will be put on the site, they'll just go up and I'll make a post about it. I can't say for certain what anime I'm planning to review next, but I'm always watching current shows and picking up older releases on DVD/BD, so I've got plenty of material to choose from! The yearly recollection is probably the only time I will post multiple reviews at once - for the rest of the year I will probably only post one review at a time, possibly alongside some art or a sketch related to the show in question.

Pachi's Anime 2012 Recollection + Reviews
I watched a lot of anime last year, in 2012! When I take a look back, they kind of run together in my head. I think they went something like this...
It's that time again! The time of the year when I gather my anime experiences from the previous year and lay them out on a broad sheet. But this year, instead of just the usual drawing, I'm going to add something new. I am pleased to announce that from this day forward, Pachi's Portrait will feature written anime reviews! Much like my art, there won't be any kind of schedule to these. For the time being, I am limiting myself to reviews of completed series which I have seen in full. Though I do keep up with the current anime season on a weekly basis, doing a weekly blog on a regular basis is not something I'm ready to commit to yet. To get things rolling, I have endeavored to write full reviews for each anime represented in the recollection art above. You'll find links to them below, or you can navigate directly to the Review page from the top bar. There are two exceptions: I have not written reviews for Space Brothers nor Chihayafuru, which are both featured in the drawing. Two reasons for this: 1, these series are not yet finished. And 2, I can pretty much sum both of them up in one sentence: "This show is wonderful and you should watch it." :)
I have six reviews prepared in total for this Recollection. Only the first three (as a side note, please keep in mind that the Sword Art Online review has potential spoilers within) are ready to roll tonight - the remaining three (The Future Diary, Kids on the Slope, and Natsuyuki Rendezvous) will be coming tomorrow. Look forward to it!
The drawing for last year's retrospective was always intended to be an abstract piece featuring the characters from various shows on karuta cards. I'm not sure why I couldn't have been bothered to try and draw the cards any straighter, but oh well. It was fun and a challenge once again to attempt drawing in different styles, as I tried to capture the style of each show in question. On that note, I apologize for Asuna's appearance here. I made her look SO derpy. XD Look how nervous Yuki is getting up top! Do you think perhaps he dislikes sloths?
