I remember trying to read Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys years ago and not really getting into it. I didn’t think it was bad or anything, just not for me. I even said as much to a few of my fellow bloggers. Well, am I ever ready to eat my words. I decided to give…

The Winter 2022 anime season has just started and I’m not gonna lie, there are a lot of shows that look way more exciting than Platinum End premiering. But you know, I think my OCD would go wild if I left the series only half reviewed. Besides, I do rag on this show a lot…
I do this post on my blog every year. For those who are reading it for the first time, even though I watched these in 2021, the series may have come out years ago. I do have a few classics this year. There are a few posts I enjoy writing over and over again and…

I know I repeat myself a lot but for those of you that haven’t heard the story, the original concept for this blog was for me to try to recreate dishes I saw in anime (or make vegetarian versions) and share the results with you. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and I thought it would be…
I like comedies. I’m just a person who likes to laugh a lot. That’s why it’s always a bit hurtful to see people disparaging the genre. So today I’m going to defend comedies. Despite it being one of the most popular genres, arguable and arch-genre, that has no need to be defended. I feel useful!

I’ve been collecting manga for a little while now and I do enjoy it a lot. In an effort to branch out and maybe discover something I wouldn’t have otherwise, I asked for manga suggestions on Twitter and got a bunch back. It’s how I discovered Blank Canvas which I really dig. Among the people…
This week, we will be looking at Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 5, “Things Are Gonna Get Real Flashy”. This is the establishment of Tengen Uzui’s “redemption”, if you could really call it that, established in the first episode of the arc. For those of you that remember, episode 4 ended on a bit…
I’m not sure if it was planned from the start but it turns out that AMAIM is going to be a split cour now and we will have to wait until March to see the rest. Now Scott, when you first told me this I thought, ok, that’s fine. A single-season break is not too…
Hi guys, How are you? I really hope you’re doing well.
As a general rule I’m not much of a maker of New Year’s resolutions. I really like the idea…for other people. For me, my impatience isn’t going to let me wait until New Year to bring a positive change in my life once I think of it and my completionist streak makes it hard to…
Some of you may have picked up on the fact that I’m not much of a romantic. It’s not that I have anything against lurve really but I am just generally bored by romantic storylines and find most of what passes for epic love stories to be frankly very unromantic…. I mean people still think…
