Before some of you jump at me, I’m not saying that anything I’m about to discuss is fact or even true. I simply read a thesis that put forth a couple of theories about the rise of anime popularity and how to interpret that in a social context which I thought was interesting. It was…

A Little Bit About The Shinsengumi
If you’ve watched enough anime (or pretty much any historical anime), you’ve most likely encountered the name Shinsengumi. They were a pivotal group in Japanese history and as such remain a popular subject of fiction and cultural fascination. But do you actually know who the Shinsengumi were?
Top 5 strongest elders in anime
Unlike the real world, elders in anime aren’t weak. Especially in shonen anime, old people are often as strong, if not stronger than our protagonist.

ZOM 100 – Episode 5
Yaay! ZOM 100 is back! I wonder what the production issues they were having are. I wasn’t able to find out if they actually solved them or if we might have to deal with delayed episodes all season. Man, I sound privileged! Deal with delayed episodes… I’m happy the show is back. I think it’s…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 5
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today is a really good show for the end of the week I find. Because it’s just so relaxing and undemanding. You can sit back after getting home and put an episode on like it was nothing. And that’s more of an accomplishment than you might think!

When it comes to anime, there’s a vast range of genres to explore, each having a unique and captivating experience. Among these, Chibi anime stands out for its irresistibly cute art style.

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 55 – Mastermind
We are getting close to the point in the story where I stopped reading the manga. I stopped because the season started and I wanted to discover it in the anime. And also because the next volume is coming out in November. I mean in English. It’s obviously already come out in Japanese or else…
Yuri is My Job – Sweet and Forgettable
There is no ZOM 100 this week, so how about an extra series review 😉 Hime is adorable, isn’t she? She might be the cutest girl you’ve ever seen. She’s always smiling, always nice, and super friendly with everyone. She’s pretty much perfect. And let me tell you, it’s exhausting pretending to be such a…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 5
I started playing Baldur’s Gaye 3 yesterday and let’s just say I relate to Sako a lot today. I’m a useless slug of a human who can barely function and is just thinking about getting back to my game. I think I might have said this after every single episode, but I wish I had…

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 54 – The Curse
You know what a show about superpowered people who sometimes turn into kitty people but mostly not, underground organizations, widespread political plots, and modern reimaginings of classic literature figures, was missing? Exactly! Vampires obviously! Man, I love this show!
ZOM 100 – Episode 4
I’m going to repeat myself for the new readers in the audience so bear with me if you have heard this before. I have read ZOM 100 in manga form. Not all of it but quite a bit and certainly everything that has been adapted so far. That’s why the title: Flight Attendant of the…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 4
YAY!!! Like I mentioned last week, I was looking forward to the idol show at the aquarium. And I was not disappointed. I’m not sure why the idea thrills me so much but if an idol show was to be put on in an aquarium anywhere east of Saskatchewan, I would be there! I would…
It’s Time for “Interrogation,” Princess! And Being Too Young
Let me tell you guys a little story. Yeah, it’s going to be one of those posts… I don’t know if I have talked about this on here but I’m not great with kids. I don’t dislike them at all but I’m not the type that will start fawning over children just because they’re children….
