- The lead image is from Yayoi Kusama’s All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins. I saw this in person on Thursday with a friend. (Yes, there are just two of us in this panorama!) Even after the exhibit, I learned a ton from this article: ‘Priestess Of Polka Dots’ Yayoi Kusama Gives Gallerygoers A Taste Of Infinity.
- Otaku Parenting 101: Introducing Your Children to Anime. So glad a parent wrote this article because this is a question parents ask me a lot. I remember the days when hentai and shounen were grouped in together at the local Blockbuster. Now it’s a lot easier to figure out which is good anime for kids.

I am too a sucker for lifestyle careers. I am already three tabs deep in her site…
50 shades of EXODIA… only got 15 out of 20. >_<
C.D. Kingston and your article about the dynamics of anime fans and the subset that are Nazi nerds are interesting and on point from everything I’ve seen on the internet. In person? I don’t actually know a lot of anime fans in person. The internet is where I do my social interactions with fellow anime fans. But, I have a relatively small social group that I can talk about…when I’m not commenting on someone’s blog.
Also, thanks for linking to my article about parenting and introducing your kids to anime! I hope to do more pieces like that too for parents (manga is next on the docket).
