Discovering what weird and twisted search terms have led to my blog never fails to thrill me. As such, it has become something of a tradition each year, for me to look back on what twisted path people took to discover this blog. If you’re interested in past results here are 2017 and 2018. Unfortunately,…
***That’s the gif Google suggested for “anime stuff” and who am I to argue with genius?*** We live in an increasingly digital world. I haven’t bought a physical copy of anime in years and I don’t particularly feel the urge to. However, if the internet goes down you will find me in a quivering heap…
Here we are, last OWLS post of 2019. We made it guys! Time to celebrate! This month’s prompt is brought to us by the everlovely Litawho is just a constant source of good cheer. If you have not had the pleasure of getting to know her, you are in for a treat!
I can’t believe the season is winding down already. Seems like it just started! Well at least we still have a bit more Fire Force to go and boy is it stepping up its endgame. Last week was a brilliant show of atmospheric manipulation through colour and sound deprivation. This week? It’s all about skewed…
It’s so weird to think many shows are ending right now. I feel like My Hero Academia just started. I say that in a good way! Oops I started off a post in the middle of a thought again. Sorry about that guys. I’m finishing up the last of my Christmas shopping and I’m…
I love it when I can use a quote from the episode as my post title! It makes me feel so professional for some reason. What can I say, it doesn’t take much with me! Also this is a very abrupt way to start a post. I got overexcited. Hello everyone. For this last episode…
This is the second time I reference my favourite Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode on this blog and it probably won’t be the last. It made a pretty big impact on me and it’s a wonderful title. One that I would not assign to anything unless I judged it worthy. I sound so full of…
I just liked that gif I know a lot of it comes from culture clash and some are just old tropes, but anime characters sure get excited about some weird things sometimes. After so many years of watching Anime they don’t really register any more but still, I sometimes think it would be so weird…
One of the very many aspects I enjoyed about Hozuki’s Coolheadedness is the neatly bureaucratic depiction of Japanese hell. And if you think “Japanese hell” is a weird way to put it, I agree, it’s just the expression they used in the series and it stuck with me.
I’m not a particularly social animal. By nature not by circumstance. As such, the social component of blogging, although very important to me, has never been the *most* important or only aspect. But as time goes by and hopefully I mature a little as a blogger, I’ve come to appreciate it in different ways. Ways…
Genre : Isekai, Fantasy, adventure, comedy, romance, city planning Episodes: 24 +2 Studio: Eight Bit Life is a grand adventure. You never know what’s going to happen. One second you’re just minding your own business, living a contempt if a little lonely life, appreciated by your colleagues and kouhais, the next, you’re a…
When Fire Force is good…well I tell you what I think about it over on 100 Word Anime. I hope you stop by and read all about it. One thing Fire Force in which is consistent, at least in my opinion, is impressive and playful visuals. This is why, even though I tell myself each…
Hey, everyone! Hey, Irina (from I Drink and Watch Anime, but everyone already knows that, don’t they?). How’s your week been, Irina? We actually had a few sunny days just south of the Great Lakes. Don’t know how to react to that! It’s clearly winter here. There may have been sunny days but since the… via…
Guys! It’s that magical time of year. That wonderful snowy time where I blog about anime or loosely related subjects for 12 days in a row! Ok, so I do that anyway but now, it’s christmasy! Kidding aside, I do enjoy taking part in the 12 Days of Anime Blogmas every year even if it…
This season of Psycho Pass is frustrating for me. There are some brilliant insights and promising pieces of world building but they get bogged down by a messy and overly complicated narrative or else squandered. But I’m not going to bore you with story structure today. I know most people aren’t really into that sort…
