Steins;Gate 0 Ep 5 – The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
I don’t use Twitter very much. It’s probably because I’m in the wrong timezone, It seems most people are active either when I’m sleeping or at work and by the time I get around to check, the interesting stuff is buried in a sea of adds and irrelevant retweets from people I don’t know. In…
The Power of Tears in Anime
Crying is a fascinating mechanism. I’m not talking about shedding a few tears to get rid of a speck of dust in your eye, I’m talking about what we call psychic, or ‘crying’ tears. Basically, this is the good ol’ fashion bawling we do in response to emotional rather than physical stimuli.
Timely Top 5 Anime Moms
Oh my, a list of top anime Mom’s just in time for Mother’s Day, how deeply original Irina… Well pshaw! I’m a classic, I don’t need to hide behind the imaginative! A very long time ago, I did a list of top anime dads and I had a great time. I realized though that parents…
A Little Sunshine (award) On A Cloudy Day!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m starting to forget hat sunshine looks like. We went from short days and snowfall straight to grey days and endless rain. Buddy keeps waiting for me to open a door into summer and my unwillingness to comply is not at all amusing to him. So as a…
YAY! Everybody Wins – Uma Musume Pretty Derby Ep 7 (with Cactus Matt)
Cactus Matt and I are continuing our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby and bickering about it. I’m having a lot more fun discussing the show than watching it! In case there’s any doubt Matt is in Bold!
OWLS Bog Tour – Small Steps in Sket Dance
I didn’t manage to take part in last month’s OWLS tour as I’ve always struggled discussing music and I’m sort of glad I sat out. My OWLS companions’ posts would have put me to shame… Mind you, the fact that I’m surrounded by intimidatingly talented boggers has never really bothered me before. Which is why…
“If both sides are the same, become a good man”
I really liked Bungou Stray Dogs. I still do. I’m here for anything new that comes out. But as much as I enjoyed the first season, it’s the second that really made the series take root in my mind. More specifically, the first few episodes of the second season, which told the tale of a…
MEGALOBOX Ep 5 – Black Witch Moth
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment For a minute there, I thought that Steins; Gate may have bled into Megalo box this week.

A Record of Grancrest War Ep 17 – Boys Will Be Boys

Danganronpa, Fullmetal Alchemist, and the Viciousness of Hope
I told you I had a couple of these up my sleeve. This time I’m contrasting Danganronpa with my latest obsession, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Yes, I realize I’m the absolute last person at this particular party. I’m still in the middle of the series (35 episodes in) as I write this, but I think I’m…
Top 5 Grand Ladies of Shonen
The shonen genre occasionally gets a bad rap for being an all-boys club. Even when prominent characters are women, they’re often relegated to waiting at home or being rescued all the time. At least that’s what the accusations are… Today, we’re proving the naysayers wrong with these five epic shonen ladies who can stand next…
