Last week I told you guys I didn’t know if I would be posting weekly on Steins;Gate and I meant it entirely. But then CactusMatt told me that I would keep doing it in my comments and who am I to argue. I’ve never met Matt be we get along well. It’s one of those…
You know that thing: the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? It’s basically when you’ve never even thought of something but suddenly it occurs to you then you start seeing it everywhere? I think it might be my superpower… With blog posts at least… As some of you know, I schedule everything and on average will write a post 2…
Visual Novels and Otomes getting adapted to anime is a pretty common occurrence. It’s a good way to get some publicity for your game while putting out an anime with a guaranteed audience from the fans of the game. I’m gonna call it cross-media advertising. I’m pretty sure that’s not what it means…. Let’s face…
So here’s a little scenario that has been happening embarrassingly frequently lately. Irina’s inner monologue: It’s almost 10 pm, I’ll just play a little round of the Berseria card minigame, it takes like 2 minutes, then I’ll finish my presentation for tomorrow and be in bed by 11. I need to get up at 5, I…
You know I try to answer tags in a reasonable time frame. I don’t always succeed but I do try. It always means a lot to me to get tagged by one of you, so when both super cool Nairne (I’m a bit intimidated, I admit) and super sweet Ryuji were kind enough to think…
I actually liked this episode. I’m still super snarky about it but Matt put up with me like a champ!
Genre: Romance, comedy, drama, low fantasy Episodes: 10 + OVA Studio: SIGNAL.MD,Inc. If you’re going to be a NEET you should really be an Elite NEET. Not just someone who couldn’t cut it in society, someone who actively chose to take a step back. Elite NEETs are smart, capable people who decided the daily grind…
I guess some of you may have noticed but I have a weakness for tragic characters that can accept their fate gracefully or fight against it until the last second. Once in a very long while, you can find those that do both. One of the most frequent searches on my blog is for the…
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment I’m still struggling to find my footing on this one (as an aside, some great footwork animation during the fight….just a really great bout for those who actually mb enjoy boxing but prefer no one really get brain damage). I’m going to do my best to…
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I have to admit it, I did not see this one coming. I have been watching anime for many years now and this particular show for 15 episodes (there was a 11.5, remember!) and this is pretty much the last thing I expected. Brace yourself, guys:…
This post shouldn’t exist. On so many levels it should not have been possible. I think it’s fair to say that I quite like Stein’s;Gate as a franchise. For reasons explained in my VN post, I identify with Okabe more strongly than possibly any other protagonist. When he gets into high stress situations I can…
OK not really but it definitely is making me crave some variety…. I mentioned it in my Monster Girls review but I’ve come to realize how similar anime character body types are. It’s getting a little boring…. I remember when I first watched Miss Kobayashi, I was struck by the fact that the girls had…
It’s Friday! You know what that means! Yeah a whole bunch of really fun stuff but ALSO a Friday Five! I kicked things off last week with a pretty silly list of androgynous girls that have captured my..let’s say heart.. That proved to be popular. Pretty girls are popular, who would’ve thunk it? So popular…
Genre : Drama, adventure, magical girl Episodes: 12 Studio: J.C.Staff Our world is constantly changing. Species go extinct to make room for new iterations. Mutations give rise to devastating predators, while humble herbivores completely destroy ecosystems through enviable reproduction. Evolution is unpredictable and uncaring but also full of wonders. And it’s this capricious faith that has created…
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!
