Things can never be that easy, now can they? BSD is generally not a dramatic show. It’s not a everything is hopeless sort of series and yet here we are. I feel like this is going to apply or every single episode this season. This post will be full of spoilers. We learn big things…
ZOM 100 – Episode 3
Friends are important! You probably all knew that already but I find that as time goes by, friends become more and more important. And I’m someone who found the past few years of confinement and isolation to be perfectly lovely in that regard. Point is, if you’re going to ride out a zombie apocalypse and…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 3
I was looking forward to the idol show at the aquarium. Sea creature-based idols sound like a really fun schtick! Oh well, it’s not like we’re never going to get to see it. I guess they’re just building the anticipation, just like with a real idol group… What if we never get to see it!?!
Handyman Saito in Another World
Saito is a handyman. Nothing wrong with that! Handymen are quite useful. And Saito is particularly useful since he’s good at everything he tries. Problem is, he’s good, not the best. When there’s always someone just a little better, it’s easy to feel replaceable. Saito might be able to unlock your door and find your missing…
Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 52 – Clear Sailing
Huh, huh!!!??!! Yeah!!??!! Look, I don’t know how you guys feel but when I had this reveal for the first time my jaw was on the floor. I just really really like this turn of events. And we don’t have all the details yet but I also happen to like the motivation a hell of…
ZOM 100 – Episode 2
I’m happy to see that the first episode of ZOM 100 was generally well-received. All things considered, it’s a bit of a goofy zombie story but I think it goes to some genuinely touching places and I’m glad I’ll get to see those scenes in fully animated glory. If anyone survives long enough to get…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 2
Did you need a dose of cute this week? Cause if you did, The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today has got you covered. Adorable way to beat the mid week blues!
Lost Lad London and the Manga Murder Mystery
I saw a video essay analyzing poetry not too long ago and the lovely commentator warned that too much alliteration can make your writing seem amateurish. I took that as a challenge! So yes, this post is going to be a brief review of Lost Lad London but I also wanted to take the opportunity…
Sometimes dreams come true…
A dream is a wish your heart makes All of this might sound a little dramatic to some of you. It might be a bit too much production for what I’m about to talk about. But to me, it’s barely enough. I cannot overstate how happy the news made me. It made my heart race…
Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 51 – The Strongest Man
I know that I usually come up with my own post title instead of using the episode titles but I just think this one is perfect as it is. There’s no way I could have come up with something better! And so it’s back! It’s back you guys!!! Of course, I was going to watch…
ZOM 100 – Episode 1
I guess this is going to be a season where I watch anime I have already read the manga for. That’s a very new experience for me. But I couldn’t possibly skip ZOM 100. I love the manga and this is one of my most eagerly awaited adaptations. (With the Apothecary Diaries!) There’s always a…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 1
Some of you may remember that I have written about the manga The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today. I ended up quite liking the first volume and have in fact kept up with the manga as they come out. It’s just really cute. So I was super excited to see that an adaptation was…
The Positive Negative Review
I am one of the three people out there that openly admits to being a fan of ranty or negative reviews. Most bloggers hold back from writing overly negative posts and the general consensus I’ve seen from people in the anime community is that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything…
Ippon Again – I am too easily influenced
Michi or should I say Ippon Michi loves Judo. Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say Ippon Michi cause she really doesn’t do many Ippons at all. In fact, she’s never won by Ippon even though she’s been trying to for years. And this time might be the last time. After losing this tournament and all their…
Anime and Context
Have you ever watched an anime with someone who is completely unfamiliar with the medium, let alone the different genre conventions therein? Therein… look at me! It can be a bit of an adventure, for all involved. That’s because it’s easy to forget that even though anime is just an audio-visual medium, like live-action movies or stop-motion…
