Titles: Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo Genre: Action, comedy, sci fi, mecha Episodes: 12 Studio: Lerche Censorship is a terrible thing. Especially for us fun-loving Otaku who rely on anime, games and apparently idols to add a little sunshine to our dreary lives. How can we possibly go on and face this cruel world without…
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a treasure tropes post. These are posts in which I pick an anime or manga trope to examine. Today, I decided to look at the Kichiku. You may not have heard the term Kichiku before, but I bet you know the trope. The expression is meant to…
I’m on one of those manga sprees. I usually read either longer manga series or novels that take me a bit longer to finish then I mix in a spree on shorter manga and first volumes I’m intrigued by. And well, I am currently going through a lot of manga and they all seem like…
I was wondering what to post about in my seasonal spot now that the season is over. When I happen to catch the special episode of Given, I figured it would be perfect. Well except for the fact that I thought it was a 6-minute mini-episode. Spoilers, it went by really fast for me. It’s…
This hasn’t happened in… well as long as I have had AniList at least. I have a clean slate of currently watching anime. I am just finishing up Backflip and that’s it, no active shows. I figure it will last a couple of hours at most but still, it’s an odd feeling! Also, you might…
Brown hair and brown eyes are sort of a very normal combo, aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, some of the most beautiful people in the world have brown hair and brown eyes. In fact, most of them do. But brown is the most common colour for both hair and eyes, so it isn’t that…
Titles: Kotaro Lives Alone, Kotaro En Solo Genre: Slice of life, comedy, drama Episodes: 10 Studio: LIDENFILMS Kotaro sure is a precocious little boy. He can take care of himself better than most people out there. He knows how to get the best tissues, he is diligent in his hygiene and he certainly knows how…
Right now, I’m involved in an ongoing Kaizen at work. Basically, my input is required to restructure our entire office procedures and set up, plus my usual responsibilities. This has been a time-consuming venture of debatable value, that has left me much less time than usual to write posts. Almost no time in fact. More…
Titles: Sonny Boy Genre: Drama, mystery, psychological, surreal, supernatural Episodes: 12 Studio: MADHOUSE Have you ever thought that maybe the world you live in isn’t the “real” world.? Like we’re all extras in someone else’s dream… what if you found out it was true? Would it matter? What if one day you woke up and…
I think a lot of you guys probably know Yayoiso or Yayoi Sou depending on which website you’re looking at. She’s a pretty successful Japanese webtoon artist that you probably would know as the author and artist of ReLife. I didn’t know ReLife was a webtoon. It explains a bit. Anyways, Blue Hearts is her…
If any of you read my post with Scott about AMAIM yesterday, you might know that I was sick last Monday but feeling a bit better on Tuesday. Well, it turned out that, that was unfortunately short-lived and by Wednesday I was quite sick again and remained so until Friday. At that point, I was…
We’re almost at the end of the AMAIM journey and things are looking grim. I hope this is a case of everything getting darkest before the dawn. Scott seems optimistic which helps!
I feel like the post title is pretty self-explanatory. Even though anime regularly draws 13 year-olds like they might be in their mid20s. There are some characters that are eternally youthful. But in the cases of some of these characters, it’s just ridiculous! I need to know what face cream they’re using. Sometimes we get…
Titles: Shiguang Dailiren, Genre: Drama, crime, action, mystery, thriller, supernatural Episodes: 11 + special Studio: Studio LAN Photographs all have a little bit of magic in them, don’t they? They can freeze time in one specific place and preserve it forever. Well for a while a least. And these days, photos are everywhere. The world…
At some point, my phone decided that I really wanted anime news (correct) and that I should get it from something called CBR (less correct). I’m not sure what CBR is but their anime articles haven’t impressed me much. I find better on WordPress every day. I get the feeling that they just realized that…
