My Anime Life: Blood-C
Not quite in time for Halloween, I know. But I had a more important post to put out, so instead here’s a late theme-appropriate article, the second on the “My Anime Life” series.

This feels, along with other endings, like the fading of an era.
I've been waiting to comment publicly on this until the university made its announcement, but the Department of History at Princeton is devastated by the recent death of our wonderful colleague Alison Isenberg.
Alison Isenberg, distinguished urban historian and co-founder of Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities, dies
A public memorial and celebration of Isenberg’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at the University Chapel.
