Chromeography



Chromeography is a website dedicated to retro chrome logos and lettering on vintage cars, trucks and household appliances.  They don't make them like they used to, and this gallery of logos reminds us of a different time. I think it would be cool to see these types of old chrome logos in cursive fonts on today's computer equipment and televisions.

I've been watching Rail Wars. It's OK, but I find nothing to really write home about. Seems to be a bit slow with no overall conflict to tie everything together.

I loved Girls und Panzer! The models were fantastic. If you haven't heard of it, check out Arpeggio of Blue Steel, which uses WWII submarines in a sci-fi setting. And for more WWII goodness, KanColle is a card-based (WWII) fleet game that is getting an anime sometime next year. I've not played that game, but if it gets licensed in the US, I'm sure I'll watch it.

And to throw some titles into the mix:

Sabagebu is currently airing. Bunch of girls join a high-school survival club, using some nicely modeled Airsoft guns. It's hilarious.

Mitsudomoe is an older series. Can you laugh at potty humor, double ententes, situations taken out of context, with a dose of deliberate perversion? No matter how cute the visuals may may look, this is definitely not for children.

Kobato is also older. Not a comedy, but a supernatural romance. I found the anime so beautiful, I ordered (all 6) of the (translated) manga volumes from Amazon.

Knights of Sidonia sounds interesting. My favorite space opera (and perhaps in my all time top 5 anime series) is Crest of the Stars. If Sidonia is even 1/10th as good as CotS, then it's worth a watch.

Crest of the Stars is only 90 minutes long--that's short enough to encourage me to check out.

I find that the 12-episode model is ideal for me. I don't want to commit to very long series these days.
