I don’t really review One Shots much. Mainly because I don’t get to read that many of them. Maybe I should seek them out more. One Shots are essentially manga short stories and I love short stories. I have to come clean. I read Gunji-sensei no Hisoka na Tanoshimi online and I’m not entirely sure…
Spy x Family episode 1 – Family Man
Spy x Family might be the most anticipated new anime of the season. It certainly was the anime I had been looking forward to the most since… well for a really long time now. I figure a new season of Natsume might beat it out in excitement but that’s about it. As some of you…
Tomodachi Game ep 1 – Caution
It’s the most magical time, that happens 4 times a year… It’s a new season of anime. I had already chosen to review Spy x Family as it airs because I loved the manga so much but I didn’t know what my second pick should be. Honestly, I decided on Tomodachi Game for a number…

Anime confessions
Sometimes you like animes that aren’t very good, sometimes you fail to appreciate masterpieces. I do both on a regular basis! Lately, I’ve read a few think pieces on how people’s preconceptions can color our enjoyment of a show. How going into an anime with preconceived notions or expectations based on other people’s experiences, inevitably…

Deres, Deres Everywhere!
I’ve written about dere types before. I even made a whole post about what I consider to be the baffling archetype of tsunderes as well as the super-rare tsunshun. I even have a Quick and Easy Guide to Becoming Any (or all) “dere” Type. But lately, I see people talking about all sorts of dere…
The Voynich Hotel – Manga First Impression
When I found out that the Voynich Hotel was complete in 3 volumes, I decided to wait until I had finished the entire series before talking about it on this blog. Unfortunately, when I went to order the last 2 volumes, they were out of stock. I’m too impatient to wait until they come back…
Emergency between seasons post! The Anime Convention I was promised
In my life, I have attended a few anime conventions and I have also seen a lot of anime conventions in anime. And there is a pretty big difference. To be fair, I have only attended North American conventions, both in Canada and the US. I realize that the conventions shown in anime are usually depicting…
The Case Study of Vanitas ep.24 – Ce N’est Qu’un Au Revoir
The Case Study of Vanitas has confusing titles. Each episode has an English title on Crunchyroll, for instance, this last one was called His Wish, referring to Vanitas’s last lines. But the episode itself had a title card with the title Après La Pluie, which means after the rain, also a fitting title. So every…

The Time a Touching Thing Happened When I was Buying Cosplay Wigs
Most of you know that I have been watching My Dress-Up Darling this season. As I write this, there are two episodes left and I have a feeling I’m going to miss this show. Anyways, because I have been watching a show strongly focused on the world of cosplaying, I kept thinking back on my…
