December 2017 / January 2018 Monthly Content Round-up

thebackloggers 2 Comments

Hi, all! For our last round-up post, we kind of switched things up a bit, focusing on posts of our own from the blog that we really enjoyed from 2017. However, there was a lot of great content that came out in December, so we felt that it would be a huge shame if we just passed over the month altogether. To fix that, we decided to do a combined post for December 2017 and January 2018, and man were there some solid picks for this one. Get ‘em while they’re hot (from the last two months but hey they’re still warm in our hearts)!

This week, we dig into the Fall 2017 season, and the cast went on pretty much forever. Strap in, folks, because we talk about good and bad death game shows, some incredible picks for the season a la Just Because!, Land of the Lustrous, and others, and we do our fair share of dumpster diving with a few choice shows.

September 2017 Monthly Content Round-up

thebackloggers 1 Comment

The month of September has been pretty crazy in the Anisphere, the industry, and the meatspace altogether. As a result of said craziness, Owningmatt93 was not able to join us in our monthly roundup post (RIP in peace), but we have persevered and found ourselves a pretty broad variety of fascinating content, so much so that we weren’t able to include all of the picks that we wanted to here!

You want an in-depth look at Mari Okada? It’s here. You want to strap back into the 2000’s and dig into a jazzy AMV? Bub, we’ve got you covered. Do you want some perspective on that Death Note movie that came out on Netflix? God help you, but we’ve got that for you, too. Do you want to get academic, or talk about love, or dig into some talk about taboo and masochism, or other neat stuff? Strap yourselves in, because boy have we got it covered. Whatever the case, you’re sure to find something that tickles your fancy here, so give it a look, and check out some of these pieces that we couldn’t get enough of this month!

August 2017 Monthly Content Round-up

Hey, Mythos here!

Well, it’s another month in the Anisphere and there’s been a ton of new and awesome content to check out!  It seems like every month there’s just more and more incredible analyses, entertaining videos, and in-depth podcasts that I’m having trouble wading through the sea of content.  I love it, though, and I think it speaks to the incredible love the world has for a medium that started so little on a small collection of islands in the pacific.

Well, given how much there is to look at, we Backloggers thought we’d take it upon ourselves to point out a few.  So grab a beer and a cowboy hat as we have ourselves a hot dang hootenanny and round up of few of ‘em rascals for y’all’s viewin’ pleasure.  Ignore the Texan bleeding through and let’s get started with a choice pick from all of us at the Backloggers!

The Backloggers Introduction — Prepare Yourself for Backlogs of Fun

thebackloggers Leave a comment

Welcome to The Backloggers, a new anime blog website talking about some of the ins-and-outs of different anime and anime mediums!

As you may have already guessed, we’re a group of anime lovers with a mountain of anime we still need to watch through.  So, as we venture into our backlog of shows and movies, we’ve decided to talk about some of these series with you and discuss the merits of anime, the anime industry, fansubs, and some of our thoughts about the current anime season as well.

With each blog member having different views and ideas, The Backloggers strive to create intellectual discussion and thoughts about different mediums within anime and anime-related mediums.  The birth of this idea formed from three guys that initially met up by simply saying, “Hey, you wanna watch some anime?”.

Although we’re good friends and share similar interests, we still have our differences and different thoughts about each show we watch. Because of this, posts by various members of the blog may not share the same viewpoints as one another, which is something that we actively promote as well. Just because we are close does not mean we have to agree with one another or share similar ideas or thoughts about a show! However, no matter what the original viewpoint may be, we still strive to bring you the same type of intelligent and in-depth discussions on anime and related mediums. 

So now that we have the introduction to our blog out of the way, let’s jump right into that sweet, sweet content, shall we?
