Mizore loves music. She plays the oboe in the school’s concert band. She’s probably going to go on to attend a music college. She loves playing an instrument. At least she thinks so. Kind of. But really, the thing Mizore actually loves the most is Nozomi. After all, Nozomi is the one who invited her…

Kobato. – A Lesser-Known Clamp Classic
Play It Cool, Guys – episode 15
Oh my, our little Play it Cool, Guys are growing up. Kinda… I wasn’t expecting a romantic episode from this show. And say what you will but I thought it was very romantic. Honestly, putting in an effort to give a sincere and kind rejection to someone is a boss move. It’s really great and…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 41 – The Great Detective
I love Poe so much. And having Poe fanboy over his own namesake is awesome somehow. This is my best attempt at a Poe avatar. I took some creative license, especially when it comes to Karl, but I think the spirit, if not the image, of the characters, comes through! Didn’t I tell you guys…
Tsurune 2 Episode 4 -Beautiful
Last season when Minato had to take a step back from Kyoudo, it was always this big drama. He does get banned from using bows a lot… I figured we would be for another really emotional run of Minato pinning for archery. But now, everyone else is treating it like it’s really no big deal…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 13- Savior
I have to give it to To Your Eternity, even after 32 episodes, it can still surprise me. Just when I think I know where it’s going with something it veers in a completely different direction. For example, at the end of the last episode, we were told the citizens of Renril would find out…
Orient – Irina Not Being Picky
Musashi and Kojirou have been friends since they were kids. More than friends, brothers really. After Musashi lost his own family, Kojirou’s father took him in and raise them both to become kind, upstanding, and brave young men who will protect those in need. But life isn’t that easy. Kojirou’s father is gone now. Kojirou…
My Fears for AI Art in Anime
I have been following the recent mini-controversy around AI art and I’m getting a little anxious about what this could mean for the anime industry. For those of you that haven’t gotten around to this particular piece of news, let me try to give you some context. First I think it’s important to separate AI…
Mob Psycho 100 III – The One and Only 1
Life happens when you’re not paying attention. Especially when you’re in high school. As far as Shigeo is concerned (Mob to his friends), everything is just moving along as it should be. School is fine, he’s getting along with his friends and brother really well, he has fun with the body improvement club and the…
Color Theory and Cinematic Language in Anime
This is a repost of one of my older posts. I’m trying to inspire myself to write more about color theory so I decided to start things off nice and easy by just sharing one of my older posts. It’s shocking I know, but I m going to babble about colors… Weird huh? Have you…
Yakitate!! Japan – Actually that’s Ja-Pan
I love carbs. This doesn’t make me special. A lot of people love carbs. Carbs are great! And one of the best carbs out there is freshly baked bread. I’m not talking about that weird white sliced sponge thing that’s been in your cupboard for 3 weeks now, I’m talking straight out of the oven,…
Play It Cool, Guys – episode 14
I’m still having so much fun with this show. It’s hard to describe the appeal to someone who isn’t watching it. Play it cool guys is the most about-nothing show I have ever seen. For instance, in this entire episode, one of the characters bought a cardigan and then showed it to another one of…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 40 – Curry Rice
We saw Dostoyevsky for about 3 seconds in this episode so I’m taking that as an excuse to avatar cosplay as him this week. Natsume Soseki was just way too difficult to pull off with my available options. It seems that next week’s episode will bring us back to the present so I’ll have some…
Tsurune 2 Episode 3 -Shamen uchiokoshi
Archery looks like fun, doesn’t it? Not necessarily competitions. That seems a bit too stressful for my tastes. Especially when your performance can let your entire team down. But just shooting at a target looks like tons of fun. I’ve done it a few times in my life and always enjoyed it. I can totally…
