So a couple of days ago I did a post on Japanese Christmas tradition as a thinly veiled excuse to eat nothing but cake for a couple of days. That was a good decision. My adulting skills are on point! Anywho, I mentioned in that post Christmas itself was not exactly the major holiday in…
Are you psyched for the 2018 anime winter season!!?? I’ve seen a lot of you publish your to watch list and anticipation posts. Those are usually super fun reads. (Drinking game tip, reread them at the end of the season and every time a blogger was completely off the mark – take a sip, or…
I always get a real thrill out of being included in any blog community event. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was about finally being recognized as a hottie! It cheered me up to no ends… What do you mean that’s not what this is? Tagged Michel over at Raistlin0903 (or Raist as I…
Because I am nothing if not original, I bring you a scary story post for Halloween! Some of you may know that I am an avowed and abject coward who will not hesitate to push my own mother in front of me to get away from a Zombie, if my mother wasn’t considerably more frightening…
Since October is the month of spooky scary things, I thought I would take some time and share with you all one of the most horrifying things I can imagine. Namely taking a bath naked with a group of equally naked strangers. I’m pretty sure that’s one of the top 10 anxiety nightmares in the…

I’ve mentioned before that I have a soft spot for father characters in anime, especially good dads, and since I don’t have the patience to wait until June 17, 2018 (that’s father’s day here),…
Honestly – why didn’t I think of this earlier… Whether sloppy lightweight or hard drinking party animal, liquor loving characters are often used to inject some fun loving life into a story. They remind us to enjoy the good times through slurred speeches and stumbling walks. It should be noted that I am using the…
Not too long ago I was reading an article on a pretty large, professional news site about some inane random anime top 10. Sure the list was so so but that’s not what caught my attention. There were the usual, what about that anime slew of comments below the article and the author answered a…
In general, end sequences tend to be less impressive than opening ones. This makes perfect sense since they are so much easier to skip and in our new world of streaming content sometimes get auto-skipped whether we want to or not, so I can’t blame studios for prioritizing the intros but once in a while…
***True story – I had just finished putting this post together when Karandi published her weekly in case you missed it post and I found out 3 other bloggers had the same idea that week….I’m going to wait a bit before publishing this*** I love a good OP. It’s not necessary but I think when…
