I had a bit of a busy weekend last week and just didn’t get around to my Play it Cool, Guys post. I do feel a little bad about it. Rest assured, I haven’t dropped the show or reviewed it, no matter how little I have to say about it. Since the show airs so…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 45 – Masterminds
You know, I really tend to prefer anime to manga. It’s supposedly not a popular opinion. People don’t usually share it on their blogs and stuff. It certainly sounds a bit lowbrow for some reason. But I can’t help it. All the extra elements that anime layers on really bring a story to life for…
Tsurune 2 Episode 8 -Practice Match
We are 8 episodes into the second season of Tsurune so I feel like I can say this pretty confidently now, I really like this season. As in I think it’s considerably better than the first. But I can see it also be a little alienating. Season 1 was a little like KyoAni’s other big…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 17- From Bad to Worse
We play a lot of war games. It’s a thing people have always done. So sometimes, it makes us think that war is a win/fail sort of affair. You just need to meet the conditions and trigger enough flags and there you go, you win. If time runs out, too bad, so sad. But that’s…
Top 5 Good Characters in Bad Animes
Ok so both “good” and “bad” are obviously arbitrary here. I went with my gut! However, as far as I’m concerned, these characters deserved better than the shows they got saddled with. Characters with deep compelling personalities or at least for the potential for it, stuck in lousy narrative where they will languish unappreciated forevermore……
Anime Characters that Only Work on Paper
I have been watching an anime recently and thinking to myself, this would be great if it weren’t for the characters… Le sigh… That’s not exactly a flaw that’s easy to sweep under the rug. It reminded me of Demon Slayer. Not that the animes have anything in common. However, if I remember well, most…
Kyousougiga Left Me Speechless
Genre : Comedy, drama, spiritual, slice of life, romance, rabbits, magical girl Episodes: 10 Studio: Toei Animation This one is going to be a little different. Maybe you can tell already because I usually reserve this part of my reviews for a series synopsis and instead I’m already editorializing. You see, I just know…
Are Otaku The Worst?
Hello everyone, welcome to my storytime! Some of you might remember this post from when I published it on Karandi’s blog. I’m repurposing my old essays for those that didn’t get a chance to read them then. I hope you enjoy it!
Nyankees – Manga First Impression
I love the cover of this book! Also “Nyankees” is a great title! Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue it. This has backfired horribly….
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 44 – Releasing the Hounds
Oh man, things are picking up speed fast! Dogs Hunt Dogs was the official name of the episode and it’s perfect. It’s also what’s likely to define the season at this point, in my opinion. We’re about to have a whole lot of action and isn’t it great that Bones is a studio that can…
Tsurune 2 Episode 7 -Teamwork
I have to say, I’m really enjoying this second season of Tsurune. That wonderful episode last week has now been followed up by an equally lighthearted and joyful episode this week. What do you expect when you put Ryouhei at the center of an episode, of course, it’s going to be happy-go-lucky. His unexpected budding…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 16- Deathless
March is doing great… Things are certainly happening, aren’t they? So many things! We’ve hardly had time to catch our breath! I guess that’s one way to make the audience relate with Fushi! And yet for all that, he’s still not reunited with March. But things are getting closer. March is his mother after all,…

The Daily Life of the Immortal King 3 – A Boy and His Dog
The great Demon Empire has been brought to its knees. The Demon king was slain and his kingdom lay in ruins. Humans can finally rest easy, no longer daunted by the threat of Demon kind, right? Right??? You know what they say, you can’t keep a good demon down…or a bad one. Actually, this mostly…
I Have An Idea for a Provisional Scanslation Licence
What a boring title. And this is going to be a bit of a boring post. I’m mostly going to talk about copyright and theoretical licensing rights so you know, feel free to skip this one if you’re already dozing off. But for all you intellectual property nerds out there, let me tell you about…
