Harukana Receive Episode 8 with Matt & Irina – Wrong Finger
The season is getting ready for the final stretch and shows are winding up and getting ready for their finales. Matt and I take a minute to appreciate how Harukana Recieve is doing just that.
Angels of Death ep 8 – Losing the Plot
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Once again I get the sinking feeling that I’m doing Angels of Death a great disservice by attempting an episode by episode review. By now, it seems pretty clear that this is the type of story that has to be considered as a whole to be…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 19 – Meaningless Consequences
You know what I hate… I hate having the feeling that I’m the smartest guy in the room (thankfully I don’t have to deal with that too often). Seriously though, it’s not that I want to feel dumb but having it all figured out is dull and there’s no point if there’s nothing to learn….
The Upsides of a Lackluster Season
I think it will come as no surprise to any of you when I say that the summer 2018 anime season isn’t exactly the most exciting thing ever. Even shows that were met with fan enthusiasm on their airing either complete fell from grace earning scorn instead or quietly faded being calmly discussed in episode…
Uta no Prince Sama Legend Star -or- Heavens and Heck
Genre: Everything that’s right with the world, mullets, I dunno music maybe? Episodes: 13 Studio: A-1 Pictures With the winner of the triple S competition still undecided and the sudden and exciting return of Heavens, Starish have a lot of work to do if they want to prove that they are top bestest boys 4…
The Eccentric Family 2 – A Home to Come Back to
Genre : Comedy, drama, supernatural, slice of life, romance Episodes: 12 Studio: P.A.Works The Shimogamo boys are back. Having fun and causing as much trouble as they can. But things simply cannot stay the same forever. No matter how tightly we grip at it, time just slips through our fingers taking us all along with it….
The Unbearable Heft of Hype
Do you guys like that title? I did in fact enjoy the Unbearable Lightness of Being (obviously I related to it on a very personal level) but I think it’s one of the most pretentious titles ever. It’s the type of title you whip out when you want to sound all smart and intimidating which…
Not So Humble Brag!
Once in a while, my fellow bloggers do me the immense honor of mentioning me or my blog on their own sites. This is a huge thrill, believe me! And very occasionally, some have even interviewed me. Ok it happened twice… But you know what, it really makes me feel like I’ve arrived. When Lita…
Sakie, Cute Girl Doing Important Things
This week’s a little different folks. You probably noticed that I usually do my character studies on tragic characters that don’t tend to escape the storyline unharmed. This can be a little problematic since I favour goofy comedies with lighthearted plots. I’ve been running low on subjects, so I’ve adapted the theme a little. Sakie…
Angels of Death ep 7 – Smoke & Mirrors
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I literally just finished this weeks episode. I got home form work, watched Harukana then Angels of Death. I’m not sure if this insta-reviewing is the way to go. Honestly, I’m not even entirely sure what to make of today’s episode yet. (Matt expressed a similar…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 18 – Never Trust A Professor
Hello friends, I’m writing you from the past. It’s Thursday morning and despite my treats on twitter, I did not take a mental day off work. I always write my Steins;Gate 0 reviews this way. I watch the show on Wednesday evening, let it take hold of my mind overnight, turn that over until I…
Chuunbiyou Symptoms and Diagnostic
If you’ve been watching anime for a while, you may have learned of the dreaded Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome (Chuunbiyou). Somehow, this condition has avoided mainstream recognition despite being widespread among the youths of today. If you can’t recognize the signs, you may not realize that your friends and relatives are suffering until it’s…
Top 5 Things Anime Lied to me About
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…
Ooops
Ok this will come as no suprise…I’m a bit of a goof. I may have accidentally unfollowed you but I still love you and am interested in what you have to say. I should have everything back to normal in the next few days but don’t hesitate to DM me if I unintentionally dropped your…
