I don’t really make new year’s resolutions, I just pick up things as they come along. I do really like the general idea though. There’s something commendable about a society choosing to make self-improvement into a celebrated tradition. It’s sweet if a little silly. I mean you don’t have to wait until January 1st… What…

Would You Make a Good Anime Character?
I’m back asking the important questions! Have you ever asked yourself in fact, if you ever got magically transported to your favourite anime universe, would you be an interesting character. A fan favorite? Would the audience hate you or worse, ignore you?
How is Taishou Mebiusline: Chicchai-san Like Irina?
Genre: Short, supernatural, action, historical, hoyay, romance(?)

Spoilers for this review, the synopsis is going to be the…
Hopes and Dreams (12 days)
That’s a pretty vague title isn’t it. Looking at it now, it even seems a little ominous to me. Weird no? I mean their all nice words and I know I don’t have anything bad to say. Yet it still sends a chill down my spine. Like I’ve just raised a flag or something… Ok…
DAKAICHI -I’m being harassed by the sexiest man of the year Ep 12 – All’s well that ends next episode
It’s almost Christmas kids! I hope you are all having the best time! I redid my hair recently and I am so happy with how it turned out. All sof and snowy white. I’ve piled it up in a top bun to keep it out of m face and I am rocking a serious Mrs….
Encore! Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) one last time
It’s all come down to this. Last episodes hae quite a bit weight on their shoulders. Maybe unfairly, a story can be redeemed or destroyed in those last few moment. All season long, Crow and I have been feeding off each other’s gleeful enthusiasm. Will it be sustained ll the way to the end? Find…
A Warm Thank You to my Anime Role Models
Some of my more astute may have picked up on this, but I’m sort of a kid at heart. And at mind. So, when I watch anime, I tend to experience it like kids do. As an immersive, interactive experience. I don’t simply observe it, vicariously living out an adventure through the characters on screen….
Tsurune Episode 9 – On A Dark and Stormy Day
Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation The boys are back on their home turf and I have to admit I found I a little comforting. I have always been a homebody.

All I Want for Christmas is A Mecha (12 days)
I’m not all that well versed in the Mecha genre. For some reason I haven’t seen many throughout the years, but every single one I have seen, I liked, a lot!!! Please be aware though, that I’m a novice at best and bound to get a few things wrong.
Top 5 Christmas Gifts I would Want if I Existed in an Anime
Ok…I see it now…my lists are super weird and contrived. Top lists are supposed to be one of the most basic and easily accessible types of posts you can create, yet I find myself having to explain my list concept on a fairly regular basis. I’m pretty sure I took a wrong turn somewhere. Good…
Favorite shows I watched in 2018 – They may have come out a decade ago (12 days)
This was one of my very favorite posts to put together last year! I almost jumped the gun and wrote it early on at least 3 separate occasions but now the time is finally here! I’m a little giddy…
Gurren Lagann – Beauty in the Breakdown
Genre: Science fiction, mecha, action, adventure, heartbreak in the best way Episodes: 27 Studio: Gainax I don’t know if I can do this one. I finished Gurren Lagann last night and it broke my heart in that delicate and pretty way only the right show at the right time can do. I’m grateful for it….
Zombieland Saga Reminded Me of Something (12 days)
Some of you may know that I’m currently watching Zombieland Saga with my friend Crow. I’ve been doing collaborative episodic posts for a few seasons now with Matt as well and the format is really one of my favourites. If you guys have the chance to do that sort of project, I warmly recommend it….
Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep11: It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn
Here we are, the penultimate episode, and I’m already a little sad. As much as I’m going to miss this surprisingly loveable little show, I think I might miss our after reviewing tradition even more. OK maybe not more, it really is a very sweet show, but just as much! It’s been great! I hope…
