I know it’s not just me. I know I’m not the only one with tragically bad taste in anime boys. My taste in anime ladies though is unquestionable!!! A simple look at popularity polls and general online chatter is enough to show you that there are a number of incredibly popular anime characters who are…

Natsume and the Myriad of Happiness – OWLS May Tour
You know what? I almost skipped this month. That’s so unlike me. Not only would skipping a month have ruined the symmetry of my monthly Natsume/Owls posts but you’d figure with a theme like “Happiness” I would have been all over it! It’s the perfect theme for Natsume’s Book of Friends and, let’s face it: it’s so…
Cinderella Nine episode 7 – Do You Think I Can Convince Matt to Want More Yuri?
Guys, it’s Monday and I just finished watching Cinderella 9 because I literally forgot about this show again! This is getting worrisome. I have Cinderella Nine senility. Anyways, how are you, Matt? I’m good! I have the opposite problem though because it’s the only show I review nowadays I overthink about it–and trust me, for…
Spending my evenings with Kaidyn’s Courage
Hello everyone, do you like to read? Personally, I love it. I read subtitles daily! But in all seriousness, there’s a unique magic to getting yourself lost in a good book, one that I wish I had more time for, to be honest. So I’m going to extend the experience a bit by telling you…
Born to Die – Bungo Stray Dogs’ Karma
****I will be discussing characters and events from the fourth episode of Bingo Stray Dogs, season 3. Although I don’t believe this post by spoils anything about the season or the larger plot, it does go over the episode itself in fair detail so if you don’t want to learn what happens, please feel free…
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Episode 7 – Not A Boy’s Hands And The Happy Family
Could it be that Demon Slayer is finally breaking away from the mould? Don’t get me wrong, I was enjoying the show quite a bit and felt no need to see it change but a well-done surprise is always welcomed. Or is it? Please go see what Crow and I had t say about this…

Guess who Gaijin and I are scrutinizing this week! Go on…guess! Wait how did you…It’s in the title of the post??? well fiddlesticks! We have arrived at Shigure and if someone needs a bit of analyzing it’s certainly him. I have been looking forward to this one and I hope you guys have as well!
Bungo Stray Dogs 3 – ep 6: Father’s Day Gallery
I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad one, but having my review over on Karandi’s blog while keeping the screencaps separately over here, has sort of encouraged me to take a lot. And I’m usually so restrained and sparing with my images. Anyways – here are way too much. Enjoy!
Top 5 Anime Festival Episodes
I don’t know about you but I am extremely jealous of the joyful festivals that seem to take place in so many animes. Form school sports and cultural fests to those beautiful looking summer festivals filled with goldfish scooping, fireworks and beautiful yukatas to solemn temple visits on new years. It’s not that I’m a…
I know nothing of Japanese class structure
I like to think of myself as not entirely uncultured but there is always going to be a bit of a culture clash when I watch anime. I think that’s true for a lot of western viewers. The social reality we live in as well as the history, traditions and beliefs we grew up with…
Celebrating the Mediocre Anime
I really like the word mediocre. I wish it hadn’t unjustly been saddled with vaguely negative connotations. I think mediocre is so much more fun to say than average.

The 5Ws of Blogging: What?
And I’m back. As you can potentially imagine, I’m writing all of these in a row. It’s a lot of non anime content for me. I’m finding it surprisingly challenging. So what do we blog about? Yeah…yeah. I know I blog about anime, wise guy! That’s not what I mean and you know it. At…
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Episode 6 – A Friend to All Humans
It’s Mother’s day tomorrow. As soon as I am done writing this I will start cooking. We’re going to eat a very elaborate vegetarien sautée or, if I fail, we’re gonna order Dominos, and watch a sci fi movie marathon. How about you Crow, any big plans? If you like sci fi you are welcomed…
