There’s a sort of tradition with the episode reviews on this site. Whenever I get a bit too snarly for my own good, the series puts me back in my place by immediately proving me wrong. Last week, I had a bit of fun at Saki’s expense, because I found her character fantastically useless in…
I wonder how many people are still watching The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window. I had put it on my maybe list because I did find the description very intriguing but I bumped it up because a lot of people had very positive things to say about the first episode. There was a clear exception…
Look, I’m not insane, I know anime isn’t real. I may secretly still be holding out hope I could magically visit it, but that’s a reasonable thing to do… It is! But you know, when you keep seeing and hearing the same thing over and over again, it sort of seeps into your subconscious and…

So what is Anime Fictophilia? I was reading this random article as I sometimes do on fictophilia : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.575427/full. It’s a pretty decent article. It skims a bit on the research and stays rather top level but it’s also easy to read and has a good rhythm. It resumes a lot of elements so that…
Titles: Hataraku Saibou BLACK, Les brigades immunitaires BLACK Genre: Educational, action, drama Episodes: 13 Studio: LIDENFILMS The human body is a miracle. The myriad of processes that keep us working is hard to even imagine. And it’s all thanks to trillions of cells that work together without rest, every single second. There are the white…
Once you decide that fan translations are ok, it’s difficult to stop. Yup, The Solitary Castle in the Mirror is another manga that hasn’t quite been officially licensed yet. It’s actually based on a novel that might have an official translation. I’m afraid I didn’t do my homework there. The original title is Kagami no…

Hi Irina, I hope that you have been ok. I am still astonished that it’s November right now? Does that feel right to you? Why does time like to make fun of us like this? I actually finished my Christmas shopping and just put my three up so I guess I’m ready for winter? I […]…
The real title for this week’s episode of Visual Prison is Shangri-la of Cruelty. I don’t think I could ever top that. I think it’s also the title of the OP song. In any case, it’s the best most ridiculous title ever and we should take a moment to appreciate the emo word salad that…
Sadly this week’s episode of Platinum End was nowhere near as funny as last week’s. I still giggled at Mirai’s random premonition but that was mostly because of how out of nowhere and non-sequitur it was. I guess that explosion was kind of funny as well. Oh and Mirai got all high and mighty with…
Last week might have been my favourite episode of The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window and I said as much. I figured it could be a good sign that the second half of the series would be a bit more to my taste. The tone and writing are pretty inconsistent which gets on my nerves…
I just liked that gif I know a lot of it comes from culture clash and some are just old tropes, but anime characters sure get excited about some weird things sometimes. After so many years of watching Anime they don’t really register any more but still, I sometimes think it would be so weird…
Titles: Hyouka: Forbidden Secrets Genre: Slice of Life, School, Cute Kids doing Cute Things, drama Episodes: 22 Studio: Kyoto Animation The classic literature club is in danger! It hasn’t been attracting new members for a while and if no one signs up this year it might shut down! And since it was Oreki’s sister’s club,…
The great Raving Otaku generously shared with us a post about Banana Fish the other day. This got me thinking about the series again and the conversations I had when it was announced. For those of you that don’t know, I read the Banana Fish manga years ago. It was in fact one of the…
