A while ago, I went on a manga aggregator website and decided to look up all the manga with the tag “food” for reasons that are still unclear to me. I was in the mood for stories about cooking and eating together. Maybe I was just hungry at the time After which, I scanned through…
In this week’s Spy x Family, second son Damian realizes something most of us have known for a while now, Anya is gosh darn adorable when she wants to be… But before I get into another great episode, I just want to go on a little tangent. Feel free to skip it to below the…
Hello everyone, hello Scott. This has been a long Monday! Not a bad one but I think I was still half in weekend mode and the work week hit me in the face. I am ready for a nap. And you know what, this was the perfect episode for this sort of day. But before…
Japanese anime have some of the most over the top action sequences. But we love them because no matter how over the top the fights are, they are perfect in our mind. The kid inside of us is always excited to see a fight where the protagonist beats the lights out of the antagonist. And…
Titles: Sayonara Watashi no Cramer Genre: Sports!, school Episodes: 13 Studio: LIDENFILMS Things aren’t looking all that good for the Warabis. Their team has never really won anything and now they don’t even have any 3rd years. All the school’s funding and ressources are going to the boys’ team instead. Sure they’re champions but still….
You know I’ve been meaning to talk a bit about fanfiction for a while now. I was going to touch on the subject when I wrote about copyright and scanslation but honestly the intellectual property issues of fanfiction are fairly complex and a lot of the details are up for interpretation. So I decided against…
Titles: Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu, Komi cherche ses mots Genre: Slice of life, school, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: NUT Shouko Komi is perfect, a goddess! She’s tall, slender, almost unbelievably beautiful. Her mind is as sharp as the finest blade and her wit even more cutting. She is a creature so above her fellow men…
Sometimes, I’ll decide that I really want to read a manga and even I don’t know why. I should let you know that Kuu Intrudes From Above is not officially licensed yet so this is a preemptive review. That way if you see it pop up in the future, you’ll know what to expect. Kinda……
I know I am repeating myself but I think this needs to be said a couple of times, the Spy x Family Opening Credits are wonderful. Just great on every level. The ED is pretty great as well. That’s just the cherry on top. When a well-made show also has excellent OP and ED sequences….
I won’t lie, one of the best things about AMAIM is the fact that I get to watch it virtually with Scott. It makes the show a lot more fun when I can discuss it with a friend like that! And I hope you guys will go over to Scott’s blog to join that discussion…
Titles: Sakugan Labyrinth Marker, Sacks&Guns!!, Sakugan Genre: Science fiction, mecha, drama, adventure Episodes: 12 Studio: Satelight Memenpu is going to be a marker!

A couple of years ago, when Spy x Family only had one volume out and was considerably less ubiquitous, I was trying to convince someone to give it a shot. I was already hearing good things about this fresh new series, and I had gotten my hands on said first volume. I remember, I started…
Titles: Skate-Leading☆Stars Genre: Drama, Sports!, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: J.C. Staff Maeshima is good at skating. He’s great in fact. But he swore he would never do it again because he never manage to beat his arch-rival Shinozaki. Actually, beat would be amazing. At this point, Maeshima would be happy just to have Shinozaki acknowledge…
It seems like it’s been forever since I wrote a post about writing posts. I use to share my thoughts on blogging fairly often. But lately, it seems I just don’t have as many. Oh, noes… my mind is going.
I first heard of Giant Spider and Me through my comments section. The title really grabbed my attention, and I knew I wanted to read it at some point. Unfortunately, as it tends to happen to older manga that aren’t super well known, it was actually very difficult to find. But I finally got my…
