It seems like I can’t go a week without seeing a debate on Gatekeeping in the anime community. I never participate in those debates. Partly because I’m behind on everything and by the time these come to my attention they are already pretty much done. No need to stir a fresh pot. And partly because…
A lot of new and old anime fans go through a period of fascination with dere types. Well maybe not a lot, but I did! “Deres” are classic personality archetypes present in both manga and anime, most commonly associated with romantic interests. And they’re nuts! Some of them at least. But have you ever wanted…
Genre : Supernatural, surreal, drama, comedy, bl, wow, that’s a lot of but jokes Episodes: 11 Studio: MAPPA; Lapin Track Other people are hard to deal with. They just are. Relationships are difficult and don’t get any easier. You just have to remind yourself it’s worth it. We live in a time where it’s getting…
If you’ve watched enough anime (or pretty much any historical anime), you’ve most likely encountered the name Shinsengumi. They were a pivotal group in Japanese history and as such remain a popular subject of fiction and cultural fascination. But do you actually know who the Shinsengumi were?
It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve done a gallery post. I wonder if I’ll remember how to do it. Actually it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve review Fire Force at all. If you want to see if I remembered how to do that, please go take a look over…
Welcome one and all. Today is a very special day for me. I have been looking forward to this season of My Hero Academia since…well the last episode of season 3, and I was actually a little guiddy. Not gonna lie. I haven’t been this excited about a new anime season in a while and…
I know I’m not the only one who enjoys anime ops and eds. This isn’t a cutesy way to start the post, I’m actually sure as in I know it. People constantly post about their favourites. I recently came across a YouTube video that quizzes you with a series of OP clips. I really had…

I’ve been on social media lately…arguably this was possibly my first mistake. Anyways, I’ve seen a lot of unhappiness leveled at the anime community by the anime community. Friends and online acquaintances expressing their disappointment in the group. People pointing out how imperfect we can be at times. I don’t entirely disagree. But I’m essentially…
There’s a couple of dumb debates rating on Twitter right now, because…well *Twitter*. It’s the same old story. Insert popular anime name here is sexist, racist, promotes violence and/or bad behaviour. It doesn’t even matter when I chose to publish this post it will be completely true no matter the season.
Anime has taught me a lot about myself. Arguably some things I may not have wanted to know. My appreciation of certain genres above others shows me what I tend to resonate with and when asking myself why – it has revealed my own biases and pet peeves. Maybe it’s just me but this seems…
****Ed. I originally had envisioned this as a sort of comic “How to be an ageing Otaku guide” but it all came down to, do whatever you want, you’re an adult! Then I started singing “I threw it on the ground” on the bus and people looked at me weird. Point is, there’s no age…
Once in a blue moon, I will see a blogger with some legal issues and I’ve realized that there are many conversations about the tricky laws that bind us as a form of content creators. Just because you’re not selling anything doesn’t mean the rules don’t apply…But it kind of does. Now, my blog is…
Well isn’t this an interesting topic for Spooktober. “Fantasy” sure opens up a lot of worlds to explore. Apparently we have Aria to thank for this and of course we do cause Aria is a wellspring of good ideas: 10th Monthly Deadline: October 1, 2019 10th Monthly Topic: “Fantasy” MagicConan’s Request In the month of…
