First thing’s first: I’m the plain old normal text and Matt is bold for obvious reasons! Second – How is it that Matt gets the AMAZING flashback episode, on of the best of the season and I’m stuck with the filler? I smell foul play….

Tsurune Episode 5 – Yawatashi
Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation I realize that most of my readers don’t watch Tsurune. This isn’t very surprising and I fully expected it when I started reviewing the show. However, this means that I have the added responsibility to covey the series in the most accurate and objective way to my audience as…
I Don’t Understand the 3 Episode Rule
There’s no old maxim in the anime community that it takes a full 3 episodes to be able to truly appreciate a show and determine if it’s worth your time. Or 25% of a single cour season. I’m not sure if this rule applies to other forms of media or not but I’ve only heard…
Top 5 Badly Rated Anime Which I Loved
If there’s one thing this blogging journey has taught me, is that I’m weirder than I thought. I’m definitely not the “average” MAL user.

A D-mail conversation with Raistlin (part 3)
Hello Everyone, Raistlin and I have been looking for a project to do together for some time now and after I published my recent completely biased non reviews of Steins;Gate 0, he suggested we try to find something on that theme. Don’t let the good times end… Raistlin had a somewhat different opinion of the…

Tsurune Episode 4 – Good Form
Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation It is not entirely impossible that I spent half the episode trying to come up with some type of archery pun for the title. I failed. I’m sorry. It hurts me considerably more than it hurts you… And you know, at first I was scolding myself for not paying…
Loving Criticism
You know guys, it’s not always all or nothing. I can love a show and dislike some aspects of it. I can find a specific episode super boring and still think the series is great as a whole. I can also dislike a show and think that it has great things going for it and…

Is my blog dooOOoomed?
Ok so I’m not taking this Halloween themed week seriously enough… I did the same thing last year. I tried to pass a blood type personality post as “spooky”. For the record I’m still AB. It’s scary how accurate that thing is!!! How about this fun little activity we can all do in this month…

Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep6: Zombie Divisions Appear!
Another week, another offering of Zombie Idol adventures. Crow and I are both optimists but I think this show may be a little underrated by the average jaded fan. See what we thought about it here: Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep6: Zombie Divisions Appear!
