I have some very distressing news (depending on how you look at things). After my personal hyperfixation-dedicated post last month, I decided to do a little digging through our blog history, only to see if I hadn’t just put myself in a club of one, and it has come to my attention that no one on our blogging squad has ever tackled the absolute goldmine that is Alice in Wonderland-associated media. For shame! Of course, everyone’s entitled to their own little slice of hyperfixation, and among our staff, we have plenty, but… I mean… Alice in Wonderland is arguably one of the most classic™ of Classic Literature.

But since Alison got the geek ball for anime classics, giants, and the in-betweens rolling, I couldn’t help but continue the trend. So maybe I should amend the title to Anime from Someone Who’s a Part-Time Expert (Sort Of). Buckle in, because the nerdery is about to get nerdier.
