This is a repost of one of my older posts. I’m trying to inspire myself to write more about color theory so I decided to start things off nice and easy by just sharing one of my older posts. It’s shocking I know, but I m going to babble about colors… Weird huh? Have you…
I’m sure a lot of you know this already but as I am going to be talking about gakurans a lot, I think I should start by defining the term. Gakurans are those boys’ school uniforms you often see in anime that aren’t a blazer and tie. Those high-neck black overshirts or coats with shiny…
For those of you who don’t read my blog regularly, you might not know that I have a loose schedule I follow. That includes episode reviews on the weekends. I’m not sure why, I just fell into that rhythm. Personally, I just don’t have the discipline and flexibility to do that many seasonal episode reviews…
Occasionally, I will be talking to someone about anime online and suddenly they become passionate about how much they dislike a certain character. This almost always takes me by surprise. Not always, some characters are badly written or just don’t fit at all in a story and everyone sort of dislikes them for it but…
Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck. But I figure I might as well use the opportunity for some advertising. So if you actually came across this post on Anime…
If those jerks steal this post as well, I’m going to be sad. It’s quite personal! Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck. But I figure I might as well…
Chainsaw Man was one of the more beloved manga to come out in recent years. Unsurprisingly, when an anime adaptation was announced (fairly quickly) it made quite a stir among the anime community. Fans far and wide had their word to say. Now that the anime is about halfway through the first season (I’m writing…
So last week I wrote a post about a site that has been stealing my content. I called it Venting Frustrations and if you’re not caught up on the story feel free to read it. In short, this site has been stealing my and a ton of other blogger’s content.
I’m sorry guys, I know a lot of you LOVE this game. Full disclosure, I’ve only played one route so maybe I’ll end up loving this game as well, but so far, I just can’t get into it and there are a few glaring issues. Let me first say that I like otome. I like…
If you follow a certain wonderful blogger called Lita then you may already be aware of this situation. As I write this, I have been dealing with two consecutive rounds of websites “borrowing” my work. And that’s just the ones I know about. The ones too lazy to copy-paste are even formatted so they leave…
Today’s post is actually written by Timothy Ross who is this awesome artist who teaches online courses on drawing. If you’re interested, you can see some of them right HERE. In this tutorial, we’re going to draw Naruto. Naruto is a popular manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. The series tells the story…
I’ve done it, I broke the code. I know exactly what you have to do to come up with a super popular anime character. I bet you want to know the secret as well. I can’t believe I’m giving this stuff away for free! I once wrote a post about the most popular characters in…
Awww yeah! It’s that time of year again. The time when I post another silly “scarier in Japan” post! I actually really enjoy writing these. It’s tricky coming up with new ones by now but I think I hit the jackpot with superstitions. Japan has some really fun ones! If you are curious about the…
Today, let’s talk a bit about haunted houses in Japan. There are two types of haunted houses in Japan. The historical types where supposed murders or tragedies happened, and rumours spread. There are a lot of those in the US as well. Not that many in my neck of the woods. I think it’s because…
This is kind of a silly title, I know. I couldn’t come up with anything good that explained this post. See, I know that Halloween is a fairly recent occurrence in Japan and they don’t have many traditions around it, so I wondered if there was anything typically Japanese that was similar to North American…
