As I mentioned last week, even though there is a Tolkien level amount of detail surrounding Nen in the universe of Hunter x Hunter, I was often a bit disappointed by the abilities themselves. They are often not particularly well defined and some have changed quite a bit throughout the series. Seriously, how did Hisoka…
Genre: Horror, gore, action, supernatural Episodes: 13 Studio: Gonzo How much do you know about vampires? Can you list their powers? Do you know how they’re made? Can you describe legendary vampire hunter Hellsing? Wrong, wrong and wrong! Vampires, don’t turn into bats, they turn into flowing masses of nightmare fuel. They don’t care about…
Maybe by mistake or possibly out of pity, Shokamoka , who has a blog of Wonders y’all, once claimed this little blog o’ mine was lovely, and I’ve been desperately trying to live up to that ever since. Somehow I managed to trick the much too kind Crimson from the delightful Crimson is Blogging (if you…
As a sister post to yesterday’s Shiki, today let’s talk about blood. Cause…it’s scary(?) Just humor me. I’ve been doing this for like 3 months, I’m out of ideas. Maybe you’ve noticed that a lot of character bios include their blood type. This is a little strange for westerners because we don’t really consider that…
Genre: Horror, drama, psychological Episodes: 22 Studio: Daume Sotoba is your typical little rural village. Quiet, isolated, sleepy. Nothing much ever happens in Sotoba. As far as a teenager like Megumi is concerned, it’s the worst place in the world. There’s no nightlife, no style, no thrills, in a word it’s boring and Megumi cannot…
It’s a great credit to this show that I find most of the “least favorite” questions very difficult to answer. This week was no different.
You guys remember when I use to pretend to review anime? Yeah, me either… Boys and girls, I need your help. I’ve been kicking around this idea for a project for some time now and I want your input. Back when I started this little blog, in the olden days of last July, I was…
October has been a pretty big month for me. And to just keep piling on the milestones, here is my very first OWLS Blog Tour post. I’ve been reading these for a while now on other people’s blogs and they’re always so interesting and unique. I am very grateful I get the chance to try…
I have always been a little ambivalent towards Hunter x Hunter’s Nen system. On the one hand, it’s really nothing more that classifying superpowers and I love classifications but for all the detail and structure available, the actual dividing of powers is rather imprecise with a lot of the categories being very similar. The execution…
Since October is the month of spooky scary things, I thought I would take some time and share with you all one of the most horrifying things I can imagine. Namely taking a bath naked with a group of equally naked strangers. I’m pretty sure that’s one of the top 10 anxiety nightmares in the…
So a few weeks ago, I got my first ever blogger award nomination from the truly very lovely Shokamoka, and being completely unfamiliar with the concept of pride, I used the occasion to shamelessly beg for more nominations. Well it seems that the way too kind Crimson from the wonderful Crimson is blogging, took pity on me…
Genre: Sports!, Comedy, Slice of Life Episodes: 12 Studio: Studio Hibari Everybody loves Aoyama-kun. Throngs of cheering fans follow him wherever he goes. Men want to be him and women want to be with him and also the other way around sometimes. Teachers wish every student was like him. His soccer rivals want…
This week let’s all take a look at me favorite redheaded deathscythe dad. I be he’s your favorite redheaded deathscythe dad as well!
Genre: Drama, Slice of Life, Psychological, Superatural Episodes: 13 Studio: Radix Ace Entertainment A young girl is slowly falling. She doesn’t know from where or towards what and then she wakes up.

Genre : Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy Episodes: 26 Studio: Seven Kaoru has had some bumps in the road. Like most of us she’s had some growing pains. She didn’t know where she fit in, she rebelled without cause. She lashed out and acted out and pushed everyone away. She ended up lonely and convinced herself…
