Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Last episode ended on possibly the best cliffhanger we’ve seen from Megalo box (I’ve been hanging off cliffs all season…) and I was genuinely curious to see what Joe would do. He’s still essentially a brick, by that I mean a narrative foundation with no significant…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 23 – David and Goliath
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I had to actually look up how many episodes A Record of Grancrest War is slotted for because I cannot see how they are going to just wrap things up next week. Admittedly it wouldn’t be out of character for this series to just stop mid…
Remy Teaches Me to Win at Blogging
Irina: It’s me guys! Man I have GOT to figure out how to start posts. It’s getting sad… What was I saying? Nothing, I just started…oh well this is going great… A little while ago, I posted a series of tips about how to write about/review a series or episode, when you don’t really have…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 10 – Space Time Oddity
I think I may finally have gotten that filler episode I’ve been clamoring for. Steins;Gate 0 took a deep breath this week and just sort of chilled. We didn’t get any major revelations or action sequences, instead the show took a little time to indulge in some silliness, some light-hearted humour and some dubious fan…
Last Minute Schedule Change
Hi, I’m just popping in to let you know that my usual Saturday morning post will be moved to this evening because I have a super fun collaboration planned. I hope you will give it a read and enjoy it. My Steins;Gate post will come out as usual and everything goes back to normal tomorrow….
Getting Ready to Sue – Top 5 Anime Characters That Are Clearly Based on Me
For some time now, I have been living with the uncomfortable reality that my house is clearly bugged and anime producers have been stealing my identity to create their characters…well their less interesting supporting characters….but still. To this day, I have yet to see a penny in residuals.That’s not how residuals work you say? That’s…

He has a responsibility to research and understand the world around him through science and reason. As the heir of the prestigious Twining family, he has been gifted with both brains and looks and it would…
Is Binge Eating the New Nose Bleed
I don’t mean that literally. Although it would be hilarious to have a character immediately wolf down everything is sight whenever they find someone attractive! What I mean is, has it replaced the latter as the anime trope standard? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a good nose bleed gag. I remember the…
Because Sharing is Caring
You guys are starting to know me by now, right? You know that I’m basically a 4-year-old trapped in the body of a…well 12-year-old…and when I get excited about something I have to tell you right away! Well this is what I’m excited about at the moment: A Trust to Follow (Wild Magics Book 1)…

We’re almost at the finish line!
Red Data Girl – I got nothing
Genre: Supernatural, drama, adventure romance? Episodes: 12 Studio: P.A.Works Izumiko Suzuharais just a normal teenage girl…Or is she?? Well actually, yeah, she is. She’s at that age trying to figure out who she is, shy and insecure, going to a school far from home for the first time. She’s really a girl just like…
Van Hohenheim and the beauty of the ordinary life
Some of you may know that (as of this writing) I’ve recently finished watching FMA; Brotherhood for the first time (the semicolon is a typo but it stays as proof that Steins;Gate is trying to take over my brain). Let’s face it, Fullmetal Alchemist is rife with great candidates for my tragic character studies series….
MEGALOBOX Ep 10 – Once a Scoundrel
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment The last few episodes of Megalobox really renewed my interest in the series. I was truly looking forward to this week and the resolution of that cliffhanger ending with the mob guy that looks like he could be a decent boxer too. I wasn’t too sure…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 22 – Concern
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I don’t know guys, the last few episodes have highlighted the frustrating inconsistency and disregard for plot integrity that have plagued A Record of Grancrest War throughout the season. And this one is no better. Although it did have it’s moments it did seem like a…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 9 – The Comfort of a Familiar Ache
At this point in my life, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I’m John Snow… I know nothing. I’ve read a few reviews for Steins;Gate 0 that accuse it of being very poorly written drivel relying entirely on nostalgia. That may be true, after all, what do I know? All I can say…
