As I type this, I’ve published 695 posts on this blog (by the time this goes live, it will be well over 700). Exactly two of those posts are DIY posts or roughly 0.28%…. Yet I somehow never ever stop talking about those posts. It’s like I’m trying to convince myself I’m some type of…
Death of the Author – Is Anime Art in a Vacuum?
Generally speaking I’m a proponent of approaching anime as a self-contained product. In practice that means I try to disregard the source material, reputation and pedigree of a show and simply enjoy it on its own merits. Occasionally this can get tricky but it’s my preferred method. I expounded a bit on it in this…

Anime Winter 2019 – Week 3 Roundup!
Buddy is sick. He’s been throwing up all day. Well not all day but he threw up a few times and now he won’t eat. It’s not that big a deal I know but I turn into a huge baby when something’s wrong with him. It’s just the worst when your pets don’t feel well….
