It’s not a great sign when an episode of anime finishes and I’m surprised that I enjoyed it. It’s not a bad sign but somehow I feel like enjoyment should be a given and that’s not always the case with Otherside Picnic. What is always enjoyable is discussing it with K. How are you K?…

My Top 5 Shoujo Anime Apparantly

Defending The Damsel in Distress

Horimiya with IriMoya: Episode 10 — The Moyatorium
It’s more Yuki, as we had hoped for! But first, happy Pi Day, and happy daylight savings switch.

Otherside Picnic Episode 10 – Because of the Karate — K at the Movies
Oh my gosh golly, was that just the BEST episode of Otherside Picnic we had yet! When that thing happened at the end, I freaking lost it. Who could have guessed that that person was going to show up.

My Top 5 Urban Fantasy Anime
Urban Fantasy is one of my favourite genres in general so naturally, urban fantasy anime is also something I like a lot. As with many things, Urban Fantasy is a descriptor with a set meaning that I completely ignore and make up my own meaning for. In this case, I tend to be much more…
