Here's the solution to "Anomalies":
The "checkerboard" squares above are black squares that I have colour-coded so that they match their rotationally-symmetrical letters.
This grid was tricky to construct, but very rewarding. I especially enjoyed getting most of the meta answer letters into theme-related grid entries.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

I have trouble trying to construct regular grids...making a non symmetric with meta built in must have been really really tough!

lol oops, I missed the I from IRREGULARITIES because I was only considering the paired rows, and VARFORM seemed to kinda fit. Ah well.
