My brother introduced me to Gintama and I've also been loving Food Wars, which is like an anime version of Top Chef.

I finally finished all of the Phoenix Wright games (including Miles Edgeworth Investigations) and now I'm working my way through the Professor Layton games.

I went to a YA author panel at a conference a couple of years ago where Kenneth Oppel (who wrote Airborn and This Dark Endeavor) said about authors and writing adults into the story: "You can't have a good adventure when the parents are around." He basically said that you either have to write them out completely…

I don't know how I feel about the returning champions as "mentors". On one hand, I always enjoy seeing Laura, Rayce, and Anthony but I don't think they really needed to mess with the show's formula quite yet.

ARTS AND FARTS AND CRAFTS.

I wish I could! Sadly, I don't have a 3DS…

Yes! I played the DS game. I haven't played the sequel yet.

It was like Christmas morning when I woke up to find this review on the AV Club. John Teti, please, please, please keep covering Project Runway!

I really wish John Teti would start reviewing Project Runway again.

No, I felt the same way. I ended up fast-forwarding through some of them. I went to YouTube to watch some of the more inspiring past routines, like Wade Robson's "Ruby Blue" or Mia Michael's "Gravity". Christopher Scott's routine was the most interesting of the night by far for me.

"Arts and farts and crafts."

Persepolis is fantastic.

I agree. I actually thought that it was a really neat move of them to not show his actual death but to make it pretty clear that he's probably not alive. I should have known better. I said the same thing out loud to my television that Joshua Alston did: Goddammit, Showtime.
