I see what Somali and The Forest Spirit is trying to do with this arc. At least I think I see it. But in my opinion there’s a fatal flaw in the plan. But I’ll get to that in just a minute!
Top 5 Anime for Galentines
I only learned of the existence of the term Galentine very recently. It’s Valentine’s Day for single ladies or ladies that want to get away from their partners for the evening! I’m fine of the idea. It was always so weird for me to see how targeted the holiday is at the women folk and…
That Time I Got Recognized From my Blog and it Made Me Feel Weird

The Unbingeables
The more I watch seasonal anime on a weekly basis, the more I realize that I prefer binging it. In my particular case, I think some of it is simply old instinct. Back when I was in school and use to spend 5 hours trying to download a 25 minute fansubbed episode just to find…

Trauma in Anime
Anime characters sure have though childhoods. Well the action ones at least. If you sit down and really think about action anime, it’s a sea of PTSD. You can’t be a proper hero without a bit of tragedy in your background. At the very least your parents can’t just be healthy. And don’t even get…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep4 – The Coach
Of course! Of course, the week after I praise Haikyuu for the surprising (to me) and slightly unusual decision to focus the start of the season so tightly on Hinata and how that has shaped and curved the narrative of season for (for the better in my opinion) rendering it more personal and relatable, the…
