Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures It’s finally summer here in Montreal. Has been for a whole 2 days! Next week is suppose to be jacket whether again but right now it’s down right simmering. I just looked it up, it’s 79F. The one upside to Quebec’s ridiculous heatwave is that we…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 8 – Okabe And The Real Girl
I decided to just stop assuming things in Steins;Gate. What’s the point? I mean sure, episode 7’s ending brought up so many questions, memories, feelings! This time surely, they’ve overplayed their hand. If it gets resolved in the first scene as it usually does, that’s going to be just as cheap and hollow as the…
Tell Me I’m Good
This is a little embarrassing to talk about, so don’t tell anyone ok? Sometimes, not that often but still, I seek validation through my blog. Like when I’m having a really cr*ppy day and everything is going wrong, I find comfort in a supportive comment even if I’m not sure how sincere it is at…
Top 5 Anime Drinking Spots
I’ve actually been trying to put together a top list of anime bars more or less since I started this blog but, these are surprisingly rare. Maybe this has to do with the fact that anime protagonists are usually too young to drink but even in grittier dramas, it’s not a location that features very…
Natsume & Tanuma: A Friendship We Can All Understand
I wish I had written this and I’m just so happy I go the chance to read it!
So many words, So little thoughts – Reviewing shows you have nothing to say about
For those of us who write anime reviews, especially those brave souls who do so on an episodic basis, there will come a time when you are faced with a show you just don’t have that much to say about. You know…it was fine. I can hear some of you already, just don’t review it if…
Anime, Because It’s Slightly Healthier Than Most Drugs!
When we think of healthy lifestyles, we tend to think of our bodies first. Exercising and eating right. Making sure we get enough sleep and drink enough water (there’s water in vodka, right?). We get these images in our heads of tanned, active people, with glistening muscles. That’s all well and good. (especially the images…
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby! Episode 10 – Anime QandA Review (With Irina)
A show that was definetly ment to share with a friend (or blogger!)
In Defense of Elitist Jerks
So far, I’ve been sticking to defending things that absolutely no one is attacking, making for a fairly successful and easy run. The importance of choosing your battles! But this time, I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
Sakura Megumi, A Good Teacher Never Dies
If you haven’t seen school-live (Gakkou Gurashi!) Go away…. You can come back after you’ve watched it. I’m not mad or anything, I’m doing this for you!
MEGALOBOX Ep 8 – Stranger Bedfellows
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Another week, another good episode of Megalobox. I’m not going to lie, I was getting rather disenchanted by this series for a while there but these last few weeks have revived my enthusiasm for this show. I still think it’s occasionally overhyped and has a tendency…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 20 – Hold the Line
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures So who else has played Mass Effect? Did you think of that speech instantly? You know, Captain Kirrahe’s stirring address to the Salarian troops just before their attack on Saren’s lab. It was such an unlikely character for this type of scene but it worked so…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 7 – Strange Bedfellows
Great news you guys, I didn’t suffocate from holding my breath for a week…well I thought it was great news…
The Importance of Frivolity
Boy some of you guys sure are smart, and witty, and you know big words and stuff…My reader feed gets regularly populated by deeply insightful academic dissertation of my favorite animes or topical parsings of the elements of a particular genre. Keep it up! It’s really fascinating, and I appreciate the enormous amount of work…
Top 5 Anime Man Eaters
In case you guys aren’t familiar with the expression, a man eater is sort of an old fashion way of saying a seductress, you know, a woman who enjoys flirting and flaunting her charms and isn’t necessarily above using them to her advantage occasionally.
