I am particularly observant and in the know when it comes to the anime community, that’s why I think that the first episode of Spy x Family was received fairly well. That’s just the impression that I got, don’t quote me on it. So will episode 2 live up to the standard set by the…
I’m still fairly ambivalent about Tomodachi Game. I have definitely watched and reviewed shows I have enjoyed less than this but I can’t say it’s a great show either. It does have the potential to get interesting or to go completely down the drain. However, as I’m otherwise having a great anime season, I figure…

And the answer is me! Wait, that’s not the whole post. I do actually have something I want to talk about. I think. Let’s hope I manage to get my thoughts together. Let’s start at the beginning. I follow a bunch of Nyanko Twitter accounts because of course I do. These accounts are in Japanese…
Psycho Pass is a fantastic show with an extraordinary cast who probably each deserve their own page but I always had a huge soft spot for Kagari and I really feel he doesn’t get enough love. First a rant: Kogami and Kagari are very similar sounding names and it’s kinda mean on the part of…

I don’t really review One Shots much. Mainly because I don’t get to read that many of them. Maybe I should seek them out more. One Shots are essentially manga short stories and I love short stories. I have to come clean. I read Gunji-sensei no Hisoka na Tanoshimi online and I’m not entirely sure…
Spy x Family might be the most anticipated new anime of the season. It certainly was the anime I had been looking forward to the most since… well for a really long time now. I figure a new season of Natsume might beat it out in excitement but that’s about it. As some of you…
It’s the most magical time, that happens 4 times a year… It’s a new season of anime. I had already chosen to review Spy x Family as it airs because I loved the manga so much but I didn’t know what my second pick should be. Honestly, I decided on Tomodachi Game for a number…

Sometimes you like animes that aren’t very good, sometimes you fail to appreciate masterpieces. I do both on a regular basis! Lately, I’ve read a few think pieces on how people’s preconceptions can color our enjoyment of a show. How going into an anime with preconceived notions or expectations based on other people’s experiences, inevitably…
Titles: Robotics;Notes Genre: Mecha, science fiction; drama Episodes: 22 Studio: Production I.G Out of all the school clubs I wish I could have been a part of when I was younger, it’s not the anime or manga club that attracts me the most, it’s hands down the robotics club. Heck, I would like to be…
I’ve written about dere types before. I even made a whole post about what I consider to be the baffling archetype of tsunderes as well as the super-rare tsunshun. I even have a Quick and Easy Guide to Becoming Any (or all) “dere” Type. But lately, I see people talking about all sorts of dere…
When I found out that the Voynich Hotel was complete in 3 volumes, I decided to wait until I had finished the entire series before talking about it on this blog. Unfortunately, when I went to order the last 2 volumes, they were out of stock. I’m too impatient to wait until they come back…
In my life, I have attended a few anime conventions and I have also seen a lot of anime conventions in anime. And there is a pretty big difference. To be fair, I have only attended North American conventions, both in Canada and the US. I realize that the conventions shown in anime are usually depicting…
