By now you may have realized that I have some pretty defined views on what constitutes a villain and because of that this week was a bit more challenging than I first expected.

Misplaced in Translation – The Joy of Japanese Idioms
Most anime fans have at some point come across a sentence or expression that seems like complete nonsense. Sometimes, we can infer the sense from context. Sometimes, these sentences are so frequent that we stop really noticing them even though they still aren’t exactly clear. In some occasions, they are even visually depicted rather than…

Best Weekend EVER! One Lovely Blog

How Did This Even Happen – Thank You!
ZOMERGERD, I have 110 followers. I’m pretty sure someone made a mistake somewhere because I can’t even get one person to listen to me prattle on about anime in real life, let alone triple digits! I figure I should get this post out real quick before anyone has the chance to unfollow. I wanted to…
Friday Hunt – Hunter X Hunter challenge week 6
Technically, this week would be a repeat since my favorite main happens to be a Zoldyck but luckily, I have plenty more to choose from. The Zoldyck family as a whole is full of interesting members and their staff is pretty awesome too. I hope I get a chance to talk about Canary at some…

To Ship or Not to Ship – That is the Discussion [A Collaborative Editorial] (Part 1)
Irina: Pretty much every anime fan out there is familiar with the concept of shipping. Essentially, it’s a double-edged sword. When done right, it could constitute a wonderful story on its own. When done wrong, however, the aforementioned story is comparable to the creepy book your least favorite teacher has carried around for months on…

Megane Day – Miyuki Kazua
For my contribution to Megane day, I decided to pick Miyuki Kazua from Ace of Diamond, partly because I feel like that show doesn’t get enough love and I want another season. I will be thrilled if I’m wrong and there are dozens of other posts just like mine. But more importantly I picked Miyuki…
I want to find a way to work Zettai Ryouiki into a conversation
I want to have a conversation about socks. I like to keep my goals on the attainable side. No but really, I have conflicting feelings about “Absolute Territory” (絶対領域, zettai ryouiki),and l want to talk them out but I can’t seem to do it. Everytime I start a conversations with: “you know about Japanese schoolgirls’ thigh…
