Recommend an Anime...

Ace was giving me a lot of grief in our chatroom today because I'm a proud fan of how anime like Naruto and Death Note involve a lot of strategy.

For example in Naruto, a lot of the fun is seeing what strategies one character uses against another character. In Death Note it's fun to see the strategies that Light and L employ against each other.

Are there any other anime that are big on strategy in this way?

You Trolls!

Diving In

I've been on winter break the last week or so and have been diving into the site again after a long absence, causing all sorts of trouble and sneaking in updates to things many of you haven't noticed yet, but will notice eventually.

We have a lot riding against us in 2012 and no single, magic bullet that will save the day. While my contributions to the site in 2011 were slim-to-none I'm going to try a lot harder next year - and I hope you'll be there by our side too!

Thanks Beth-Monster
