Nuancing my Views on Fanservice
I have spoken of fanservice in general and my personal take on it several times on my blog. The short version is that I’m all for it. Generally, I’m prone to speaking in favour of fanservice even in instances when it doesn’t particularly appeal to my personal tastes. Vive la difference and all that. But…

A School Frozen in Time – Manga First Impression
I had high hopes for A School Froze in Time when I saw it appear in rightstuf. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue it….

Kyoto Animation – Two Years Later
Two years ago a tragedy happened at Kyoto Animation. It robbed families of their loved ones and all of us of talented artists that bring our dreams to life. It broke the hearts of millions around the world. I can’t properly wrap my mind around it. Yet, I still feel compelled to talk about it…
The Case Study of Vanitas ep.3 – What A Jerk
I was wondering if the anime version of The Case Study of Vanitas was going to redeem Vanitas’ character a bit but nope. He’s still pretty aweful. And I’m digging the fact that the show acknowledges it. You’re not suppose to be impressed by his undehanded ploys this week. He’s just a jerk and we…
To Your Eternity ep. 13 – Empathy
There was no new episode of To Your Eternity last week and it sort of left a hole in my week. I’ve gotten used to spending a little time alongside Fushi and it’s just not the same when he’s not around. I guess I’m going to have one more manga t read once the season…
Top 6 Anime Mad Scientists
As I’m writing this, I just started watching Appare-Ranman! last evening. I’m sure I’ll tell you all about it if I haven’t already. My scheduling is sometimes hard to predict. In any case, I was quite taken by the character of Appare. At least for the three episodes, I have watched so far. And I…

The History of the Seifuku
I think one of the first things every new Otaku discovers is the seifuku or Japanese schoolgirl sailor uniforms. Heck, I think some people may become Otaku because they discovered the seifuku. There are some less savoury and fetishized aspects of it but generally speaking, I find sailor uniforms absolutely adorable. So for today’s post,…

Orient – Manga First Impression
I am one of those people that really enjoyed Magi. The anime at least, I haven’t read the manga. Maybe I will! Anyways, the Orient cover really reminded me of Magi so I got intrigued. Turns out it’s from the same author. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just…
The Case Study of Vanitas ep.2 – There’s Always a Jeanne
Jeanne D’Arc has got to be one of the most misinterpreted and reinterpreted characters that actually existed. I know I’ve seen a lot of versions of her in anime! And although this episode of The Case Study of Vanitas didn’t explicitly tell us who the character is, we all know, right? I mean, you put…
