I’ve done it, I broke the code. I know exactly what you have to do to come up with a super popular anime character. I bet you want to know the secret as well. I can’t believe I’m giving this stuff away for free! I once wrote a post about the most popular characters in…
Titles: Mashiro no Oto, Those Snow White Notes Genre: Schoo, drama, music Episodes: 12 Studio: Shin-Ei Animation Sawamura is a young man preoccupied with sound. His whole life he has chased after a sound, his grandfather’s sound specifically. A crisp, imposing shamisen sound like a wild spring breaking through winter. But now his grandfather’s gone, and he…
It’s actually Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you get lots of treats in your preferred form. I hope you have fun and that your costume is not too uncomfortable. And if you’re not going to wear a costume, I still hope you’re not too uncomfortable! Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, it…
I actually quite like the Play it Cool, Guys manga. I haven’t reviewed it on this site because it’s not easy to talk about. Nothing much happens after all. But I always find it relaxing and amusing. For some reason, that one image where the guy doesn’t realize it’s a bendy straw and drinks with…
I’m finally back from vacation but now I’m sick. I’m soooo sick. It’s just a cold but it’s a yucky one. I’ve been battling it all week but it really got bad these last few days. I just hope I can get better tomorrow so that by Monday I’ll be ready with my Anya costume….
Some of you may know that I reviewed the first season of To Your Eternity episodically. The links at the bottom of this post would probably have clued you in. So naturally, I wanted to continue for season 2. The first season of To Your Eternity was uneven. It had some great highs, a few…
The pieces are slowly falling into place for me. There were a lot of little moments in this episode that for me, came through a lot better in the anime. still think that the simple fact that the action is animated makes the series feel more like an action shonen than a brooding horror but…
Generally, I will always prefer anime to manga. There are exceptions of course. And one of those exceptions is horror. This is not to say that there aren’t good horror anime but I find that horror for me works better on the page than on the screen. Part of it is that my own imagination…
Titles: Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia Genre: Supernatural, mystery, comedy, drama, school, horror Episodes: 12 Studio: SILVER LINK. Seikyou Academy has a paranormal investigation club. What’s the big deal, you may be thinking? Tons of anime high schools have paranormal investigation cubs. That’s nothing to get excited about. Well, what if I…
Awww yeah! It’s that time of year again. The time when I post another silly “scarier in Japan” post! I actually really enjoy writing these. It’s tricky coming up with new ones by now but I think I hit the jackpot with superstitions. Japan has some really fun ones! If you are curious about the…
Titles: Song of the Night Walkers, Night Owl Song Genre: Supernatural, romance, slice of life, comedy Episodes: 13 Studio: LIDENFILMS Kou Yamori is just a boy. An average normal boy. He has decent grades and a few friends. He’s a little gloomy and introverted but hey, that’s just how teenagers are, isn’t it? And he…
Rozi is a curious mix of cute, adorable and yet creepy. A perfect read for this time of year! As some of you may know, I occasionally just buy first volumes of manga I know nothing about for fun. I am slowly starting to collect them on kindle which I enjoy a lot and I…
Some of you may have noticed that I have been more or less MIA for the past two weeks. It’s my annual bday vacation and I haven’t had as much time to blog. Or rather I have been extra lazy. But it’s almost over. This is the last weekend. I’m very sad. It’s a good…
The first episode of Chainsaw Man left me a bit unsure. I did like it but it was such a different experience from the one I had had with the manga that I ended up a little baffled. And knowing what lies ahead only worsened my unsteadiness. In a way, that makes me even more…
Maby, like me, you really enjoy Halloween time and want to get into the spirit of things with some appropriately-themed anime. And maybe, also like me, you happen to be a coward that doesn’t want to spend the next month sleeping with the lights on! Who am I kidding? There’s no way I’m getting to…
