About The Animanachronism

This blog is mostly about anime. It is, to quote someone else, a ‘high-tech vanity press, a place to post my writing because I like to write and it’s more fun if I have readers.’ I’ll carry on blogging unless I lose interest in it, or it begins to take too much of my time.

Spam and comments which are entirely off-topic (as in, ‘completely unrelated to anime, manga or the topic of the post’), will be deleted. If you think your on-topic comment was deleted or swallowed by the spam filter, email me! (See below for my email.)

About Me

Me, contemplating Culture. (I'm the guy in the white trousers.)

The Animanachronism is written by myself, Daniel, a literature student somewhere in deepest darkest London. I have a nasty tendency to think too much about things, and The Animanachronism is a product of this. There are registers and styles of writing which I can’t employ in the essays I have to write, and The Animanachronism might also be a product of that.

Possibly as a balance to my supposedly refined literary tastes, I currently like to watch big robots, fighting. When I’m not watching anime or reading, I like to sip tea and then get back to anime and reading. Sometimes I bake cakes. As a child, I wanted to captain a nuclear-powered attack submarine, but I never learned to swim.

. . . is where you can contact me, should you feel the need to do so. I maintain a presence on MyAnimeList, and I use the basic blogging system there to jot down odd thoughts (the ‘Infor-MAL Blog’ in the sidebar here). I’m also slowly collecting bits and pieces from what I read on my Commonplace Blog.
