I know, I know, you HATE the word problematic. Everyone does. I get it. It’s a word that’s been way overused and misused and is almost always followed by a rant. There’s not much to love there! And I think that because of that, we have a tendency to disregarding any point that uses the...
Ok, that title is clickbait. I baited you. I’m sorry. I don’t actually think the manga is always better than its adaptation. In fact, I’m one of the few people out there that tends to prefer the anime to the manga by default but that’s really not the norm. In general, you see manga readers...
You know, I think that even quasi-professional is too strong a term here. I do like that title though, it makes me sound like a light novel protagonist! As some of you may know, a little while ago I started to publish more PR and Solicited posts. I always tell you when I do and...

These days it seems most of my anime-related interactions on social media can be divided into 4 general categories. Strangers telling me they are sexually attracted to drawings. Which is fine but you gotta be in the mood for that sort of thing. Strangers and sometimes acquaintances generally proclaiming that so and so anime is...
Hello everyone and welcome to my Mecha March collab. I wanted to do something for Mecha March this year and I dragged poor Scott into my silly plans but I would like to think it’s his fault for being utterly delightful and indulging my whims! Yeah Scott, that will teach you to be such a...
