A little while ago I remember one of my fellow bloggers educating us on the differences between Ecchi and Hentai but I can’t find the post anymore. It might have been a Twitter thread. So I looked it up on wikipedia instead and essentially, Ecchi is soft hentai, if you know what I mean! I…

Should Anime be Critiqued by Different Standards?
Man, I hope this doesn’t make people angry. Let me start by explaining what I mean by the title Should Anime be Judged by Different Standards. The first question is probably different from what, and to that, I say from the rest of entertainment, i.e shows and movies. You may be wondering what brought this…
Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
Titles: Shinchou Yuusha Genre: Comedy, fantasy, isekai, adventure Episodes: 12 Studio: White Fox Sometimes, a title is long enough as is and you don’t need to add anything to it! Seiya Ryuuguuin is a young Japanese man. And you know what that means! It means he has a way above-average chance of getting summoned to…
When Anime Fans Hate Anime
There are a few general laments that we Otaku always go to. You know, about how misunderstood we are or how much negativity there is. However, in my experience, the negativity is often coming from inside the house! Sure, I still get the occasional incredulous look followed by “what, you watch cartoons?” from people who…

The Witch and The Beast – Manga First Impression
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
Surprise Yuri Game Review – Perfect Gold
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know that I stick to a routine and a schedule of sorts. An out of the blue game review in the middle of a Sunday like this is not something I usually do. But that’s why it’s a surprise! And we all love…
Shadows House episode 3 – Broken
This week’s Shadows House featured some truly horrific scenes. Like downright scary. Yet there’s something in the delivery and cnematic language that made more weird than frightening. It was all shown to us in such a matter of fact sort of way. There was no more ephasis on that scene than any of the other…
To Your Eternity ep. 2 – Precocious
The first episode of To Your Eternity made a huge impression on me. Aside from one of the biggest cries I have had in a long time, it left me wistful and I found myself checking every couple of days if a new episode was out. Even though I knew full well that it aired…
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 3 – Death Knell
I am so tired. Work has been insane lately and if I can get out under 11 hours I’m psyched! Also, I’ve been redoing one of my bathrooms so I live on a construction site which is never fun. Like right now I’m in my living room a few feet away from a toilet. That’s…
Top 5 Anime Religions
Just to be clear, these posts are always just my completely subjective and occasionally random picks. Not an actual value judgment. Wait, that’s not what I wanted to clear up. Oh yeah, when I talk about anime religions I’m not talking about Anime that feature religious themes or elements. And I’m not talking about a…
Gest Post: The Medical Problems of Monster Girls- Yuki
Our next monster girl from Interviews with Monster Girls that we will be taking a look at is Yuki the Yuki-Onna. As previously discussed, Yuki’s core body temperature probably runs somewhere between 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit. And this fact will be at the core of what we will be discussing today. So, if you haven’t figured…
Are Problematic Anime “Bad”?
I know, I know, you HATE the word problematic. Everyone does. I get it. It’s a word that’s been way overused and misused and is almost always followed by a rant. There’s not much to love there! And I think that because of that, we have a tendency to disregarding any point that uses the…
Flip Flappers – A Slow Start
Titles: Flip Flappers Genre: Adventure, supernatural, Magical Girl, school Episodes: 13 Studio: Studio 3Hz It can be tough to make friends.
