At some point, my phone decided that I really wanted anime news (correct) and that I should get it from something called CBR (less correct). I’m not sure what CBR is but their anime articles haven’t impressed me much. I find better on WordPress every day. I get the feeling that they just realized that…

Double – Manga First Impression
I had pretty high hopes when ordering this first volume of Double. The story struck me as unusual. It’s this genre that is a little like Sports! in that the main focus is about practicing and perfecting a skill but there are no actual sports in it. The only other example that comes to mind…
Spy x Family episode 11 – Family Pride
It’s hard to believe we’re already at the penultimate episode of Spy x Family, isn’t it? Well for this cour at least. Good thing we have another one to look forward to! But the season really flew by. My resolution to only watch anime I like makes 12 episodes just vanish! I hope all of…
AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline ep23 – A New Dawn
Oh wait, I’m supposed to say something before that part. Something funny and all. I would but I’m just a little tired and all because… Mondays! Aside from the slightly tired part, I’m doing pretty well. I just got a slew of new manga and now I can’t wait to go to bed every evening…
Top 5 Things I Like About Having an Anime Blog
I can’t believe I haven’t already written this post. Maybe I have and I just forgot but I couldn’t find it in my archives. Blogging can be a bit of a challenge at times, so it’s nice to remind ourselves, what some of the best parts of it are. Obviously, this list is going to…
Round-Up Pride Post
I haven’t done that many Pride Month special posts on this site. I tend to just sprinkle posts about LGBT issues throughout the year as their own thing. I have a bit of a complicated relationship with the current state of Pride month you see. I feel like a lot of companies change their logos…
Manga Influencers and Hoarding Culture
“Does Anyone Else Feel Like Buying Manga Every Day?” That’s the tweet that greeted me today when I opened my phone. For the record, the answer is “yes”. I do want to buy manga. I pretty much always want to buy manga even though I haven’t finished reading all the volumes physically in my house….

Iwakutsuki Bukken no Yakuro-san Manga Review
I believe the English title is Living with Yakuro-san so that’s what I’m going to go with. Generally speaking, I’m more of an anime girl. If you look at my average rankings for anime vs my average rankings for manga, the score is significantly higher. Surprisingly, most people whose profiles I have seen also rate…
Spy x Family episode 10 – Dodgeball Lessons with Mom
I don’t often read the manga an anime is based on and vice versa. Mostly because I’m a little greedy and I want to experience as many different stories as possible. And by default, I am one of the few people I know that generally prefers anime versions. So it’s telling that three of the…
AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline Episode 22: You Can’t Handle the Truth — Mechanical Anime Reviews
Once again Scott and I discuss confusing character developments and giant robots in our weekly AMAIM post. I think that neither of us can deny that this show is not living up to its full potential but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some interesting things to discuss. I hope you will all join us. So…
Hiru to Yoru no Oishii Jikan- A Surprisingly Frank Look at Anorexia
I wasn’t going to review Hiru to Yoru no Oishii Jikan. I read a lot of manga and I don’t review most of it. I haven’t even reviewed all the big CLAMP titles yet and I have binge through most of them in the past year or so. But for some reason, I just couldn’t…
The “Good” Reasons to Start Your Anime Blog
You run across it sometimes. Posts or comments that mention good vs bad reasons to start an anime blog. This actually exists in a lot of communities. Notions about having the right intentions behind a YouTube or Twitch channel are occasionally floated. And it’s sort of an odd concept. Like, do you really need to…
