Ok fine, To Your Eternity got me again. This is the first time since eipsode 1 completely gutted me that the show made me cry again. Maybe it just took me all ths time to get mysef back together. Oh my, aren’t I the fragile flower! And you know what got me! What made the…

Top 5 Animes I’ve Grown to Appreciate
Let’s start off 2019 with something positive. I’m not too proud to admit that my first impressions can occasionally be a bit, harsh. Not wrong mind you, just possibly fail to take certain things into account. And so, I do occasionally change my mind about shows after a little time has gone by. In this…
Jujutsu Kaisen and the New Action Shonen
Titles: Sorcery Fight, JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen Genre: Action, supernatural, comedy, drama Episodes: 24 Studio: MAPPA Yuuji always knew he was a special guy. For one, he’s way too athletic for a normal high school student and it’s not like he works out that much or anything. He just seems to have been blessed with some…
Blog Growth, the Eternal Struggle
I occasionally get asked for blogging advice, as I assume you all do, and I do my best to answer even though I’m still a rank amateur, albeit a veteran one. By far the most common question I get is how do you reach more people/get more followers? I’ve also noticed a trend in the…
Mysterious Girlfriend X is charming when it’s not being gross
Titles: Nazo no Kanojo X, Mysterious Girlfriend X, MGX Genre: Slice of Life, School, Weird, Ecchi?, Romance (I almost forgot romance!) Episodes: 13 Studio: Hoods Entertainment Akira Tsubaki is a healthy teenage boy. And just like most healthy teenage boys, he is interested in girls. Very interested! But girls can be kind of mysterious and…
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 8 — 100 Word Anime
I don’t know that Irina and I really know what to say about this anymore. It is clear neither one of us is really enjoying the show and more we’re both just waiting for it to limp to an ending at this point. 9 more words How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 8…
Inside Mari – Manga First Impression
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as many webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
Pretty Boy Detective Club ep8 – Zashiki-warashi
I really like zashiki-warashi. For one, I have an interest in yokai in general but I’m also a coward so a cute little Yokai that will play a few pranks then bring me good luck is going to rank really high in my book. I have also noticed that I tend to really like all…
Shadows House episode 8 – Revelation
What an ending! Not just in content, I’ll get to that, but in visual conception. The scene of Edward sitting at an off-white baby grand in the middle of a green garden with workers in the background was already great by itself. The snippet was fantastic. It had some wonderful colours and an absolutely bonkers…
Mars Red Episode 8 – Lost and Found
Welcome back to our Mars Red review. I have to admit, it took me a minute to get my bearings on this episode but once I was all caught up, it worked out well. But before we jump into it, how are you this week Karandi? Busy as usual but otherwise fine. All things considered…
To Your Eternity ep. 7 – Dreams
This was another tough episode to choose a title for. This time I was really torn between two options. Dreams obviously, which I ended up choosing but also Brothers. Fushi seems to be slowly building a family and I like that. It’s a good quest. I guess the whole save the world thing is ok…
Top 5 Anime Kitsune
So is Naruto a Kitsune? I’m really not sure how to qualify him. If he is then let’s pretend I put him at number 1. Naruto’s nine-tailed demon fox introduced me to the concept of Kitsune in a rather skewed way but since they have become one of my favourite Yokai. In any case, let’s…
Servamp was written for me (and possibly by me?)
Titles: SERVAMP -サーヴァンプ- Genre: Supernatural, action, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: Brain’s Base What’s a Servamp you ask? Well, dear readers, a servamp is a servant-vampire. Yup, not kidding. That’s a silly name you think? I must say you are putting it more politely than I would. Servamps are indeed very silly creatures. As Mahiru is…
Code Geass R2 – Huh…
Titles: Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch 2nd Season, Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Second Season Genre: Psychological thriller, action, drama, mecha Episodes: 25 Studio: Sunrise Lelouch may have lost the battle, but he has not yet lost the war. Even though he seems to have lost everything: the black knights, his connections, the element of…
Berserk – When Dreams Go Bad
This was the first post I ever wrote for OWLS. For those of you not familiar, that was a blogger group I was a part of. In any case, I have always really liked this post but not many people got a chance to see it. In light of the tragic death of Kentaro Miura…
