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 had pretty high hopes when ordering this first volume of Double. The story struck me as unusual. It’s this genre that is a little like Sports! in that the main focus is about practicing and perfecting a skill but there are no actual sports in it. The only other example that comes to mind…
It’s hard to believe we’re already at the penultimate episode of Spy x Family, isn’t it? Well for this cour at least. Good thing we have another one to look forward to! But the season really flew by. My resolution to only watch anime I like makes 12 episodes just vanish! I hope all of…
Oh wait, I’m supposed to say something before that part. Something funny and all. I would but I’m just a little tired and all because… Mondays! Aside from the slightly tired part, I’m doing pretty well. I just got a slew of new manga and now I can’t wait to go to bed every evening…

I don’t often read the manga an anime is based on and vice versa. Mostly because I’m a little greedy and I want to experience as many different stories as possible. And by default, I am one of the few people I know that generally prefers anime versions. So it’s telling that three of the…
Once again Scott and I discuss confusing character developments and giant robots in our weekly AMAIM post. I think that neither of us can deny that this show is not living up to its full potential but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some interesting things to discuss. I hope you will all join us. So…
I wasn’t going to review Hiru to Yoru no Oishii Jikan. I read a lot of manga and I don’t review most of it. I haven’t even reviewed all the big CLAMP titles yet and I have binge through most of them in the past year or so. But for some reason, I just couldn’t…

Still my favourite anime of the season… I’m only watching two but I’m pretty confident Spy x Family would be way up there even if I was watching a whole bunch. It’s a wonderful adaptation of strong source material, what more could you want? Speaking of wonderful adaptation, I actually went back over the early…
