The Reverse Secret Santa 2016, better late than even later?

But yeah, it just so happened that we had some host problems that started a day or two before this update was supposed to be up, so this was a bit out of our hands. So since our site is finally back online, we can commence with our contributions for the year.

Of my own three selections, the show I really wanted to watch the most was Snow White with the Red Hair. Unlike Nico, I only had the chance to cover the first season, because the stream isn't available for Scandinavians. Still, despite my initial worries, it was well worth the wait, because it's just a really, really sweet show.

But wait, there's more: despite me wanting to watch the aforementioned show the most, I also noticed another suggestion on my list. Cowboy Bebop, a show with no small fame (and fanbase) around it that I decided to make my bonus RSS contribution for reasons... well, just read the review and see for yourself. Hell, maybe some of you have been in my shoes about this too.

Moving on, Tim chose ERASED as his contribution for 2016, a show he rather enjoyed from the looks of it.

We've got more stuff coming along. I know Nico's got something for this year's RSS review event, and I think Carlos does too -- it's hard to tell, since we're being secretive about this even towards our own fellow reviewers, but I'm sure he's had his hands full with our providers too. We'll edit in the other reviews as they arrive.

So... yeah. We hope you guys have had a lovely holiday, and we'll see you all in 2017.

"O-ei the hills and Fuji way...."

Well, Allen felt like he was on top of a mountain for all the people he could see in the theater during his viewing of Miss Hokusai, which is to say few, if none. And why, he asks, as he found the movie to be quite the masterpiece. Something for the art crowd, no doubt, but also for being a moving period piece.

And that's it for today. But don't rest on your laurels yet, because Christmas eve is coming up, and with that, we have our annual Reverse Secret Santa reviews for all our readers. Which shows did we get this year? Wait and see.

See you all then.

Dang all around, Pa.

So yeah, we owe you guys an apology. See, we've all pretty much beeen swallowed by the month of December and crushed underneath its grinding Christmas-y preparating heel, but I should at least have made a quick update to tell you guys that we simply didn't have anything for you this week. Well... last week, that is. This week, we DO have something for you.

Though I suspect Tim wish he didn't. See, he gave the cumbersomely titled Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High School: Side:Future a go. Even as a fan of the game series, he found the show unpleasantly and needlessly dark, so it doesn't come recommended. So yeah.

And that's it for now. I can't specifically promise that we'll have something next Monday, but there is a little yearly event coming up for Christmas that at least three of us are partaking in, namely the Reverse Thieves Secret Santa event. That's something to look forward to this year, I should think. See you all then.
