Sturgeon’s Law is an unforgiving beast. One that no medium or genre can escape. That includes anime, and nothing proves that point more than the shows coming down the pike for the 2012 summer anime season. One look at this roster of shows will shame any western otaku claiming that Japanese cartoons are the superior entertainment, and make you wonder how anyone can consume that medium exclusively. So, who better to point and laugh at this year’s convoy of crap than The Other Side’s Alex Barry and Cody Baier? Join Alex and Cody as they judge many, many books by their cover and give an alternative perspective to the coming season. This is no neutral, forgiving, glossing-over of the latest anime titles. Strap yourself in for an unforgiving run-through of a cavalcade of shows no one in their right mind should watch.
