Every week I sort of play this little game in my head, trying to tally up points so I can figure out which episode I liked less. The right Beyond the Tricornered Widow or PLatinum End. It’s a bit of a rough season as far as episode reviews go, I’m not gonna lie. But this…
I am well aware that I have terrible terrible TERRIBLE tastes in anime um…friends…Wait no I don’t mean you guys. I mean the anime characters I like are just not that great. Sure, I love a good hero but my head always turns for a great villain. Or a troll. I can’t seem to resist…
Titles: 3-gatsu no Lion, Sangatsu no Lion Un marzo da leoni, March comes in like a lion Genre: Slice of Life, drama, school, sports! Episodes: 22 Studio: Shaft Rei is all set to be the next meijin. After all, he is only the 5th person to ever become a professional shogi player in middle school….

If you’re new here or to anime in general and you don’t know what OPs and EDs are, don’t worry about it. I didn’t either before I started this blog. Although I should have figured it out. It’s the opening and ending sequences of episodes. Now a lot of people care about these already. Mostly…
Yup, I’m slowly peppering some webtoons back in. I’m still having a really tough time weening myself off of physical manga. The thing is, I really enjoy webtoons while I’m reading them. Some truly fantastic series are digital-only, or at least digital first. But then I see a fancy bookshelf stacked with shiny colourful manga…
If I was Crow, I would probably be able to give you guys an in-depth 6k word review on this episode and still be holding back. Sadly, I’m the one hosting this week and I barely have anything to say. As much as I have been praising the arc of Demon Slayer, I think its…
Hi Scott! I hope you’re having a great week. I am. Although the days are getting really short now and I feel like it’s always nighttime. Thankfully I don’t have seasonal depression. I hope you don’t either. It seems like it’s a real pain. Hello Irina! :D. I’ve pretty good so far. I don’t really…
It’s Friday Fun Day! And if nothing else, Visual Prison certainly is the most fun show I am reviewing this season. Oh wait, I actually publish these on Saturdays. This whole intro doesn’t work anymore. Well, that’s kinda par for the course when it comes to this blog. I hope you all enjoy my random…
There’s a sort of tradition with the episode reviews on this site. Whenever I get a bit too snarly for my own good, the series puts me back in my place by immediately proving me wrong. Last week, I had a bit of fun at Saki’s expense, because I found her character fantastically useless in…
I wonder how many people are still watching The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window. I had put it on my maybe list because I did find the description very intriguing but I bumped it up because a lot of people had very positive things to say about the first episode. There was a clear exception…
Look, I’m not insane, I know anime isn’t real. I may secretly still be holding out hope I could magically visit it, but that’s a reasonable thing to do… It is! But you know, when you keep seeing and hearing the same thing over and over again, it sort of seeps into your subconscious and…
Titles: Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight, Girls’ Musical Revue Starlight Genre: Surrealism, drama, musical, school, CGDCT Episodes: 12 Studio: Kinema Citrus Karen and Hikari are going to be stars. They are going to be Stage Girls that shine brighter than any others. There’s no doubt about it! After all, they did promise! And now, they may have…
So what is Anime Fictophilia? I was reading this random article as I sometimes do on fictophilia : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.575427/full. It’s a pretty decent article. It skims a bit on the research and stays rather top level but it’s also easy to read and has a good rhythm. It resumes a lot of elements so that…
Titles: Hataraku Saibou BLACK, Les brigades immunitaires BLACK Genre: Educational, action, drama Episodes: 13 Studio: LIDENFILMS The human body is a miracle. The myriad of processes that keep us working is hard to even imagine. And it’s all thanks to trillions of cells that work together without rest, every single second. There are the white…
