I know that I usually come up with my own post title instead of using the episode titles but I just think this one is perfect as it is. There’s no way I could have come up with something better! And so it’s back! It’s back you guys!!! Of course, I was going to watch…
ZOM 100 – Episode 1
I guess this is going to be a season where I watch anime I have already read the manga for. That’s a very new experience for me. But I couldn’t possibly skip ZOM 100. I love the manga and this is one of my most eagerly awaited adaptations. (With the Apothecary Diaries!) There’s always a…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 1
Some of you may remember that I have written about the manga The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today. I ended up quite liking the first volume and have in fact kept up with the manga as they come out. It’s just really cute. So I was super excited to see that an adaptation was…
The Positive Negative Review
I am one of the three people out there that openly admits to being a fan of ranty or negative reviews. Most bloggers hold back from writing overly negative posts and the general consensus I’ve seen from people in the anime community is that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything…
Ippon Again – I am too easily influenced
Michi or should I say Ippon Michi loves Judo. Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say Ippon Michi cause she really doesn’t do many Ippons at all. In fact, she’s never won by Ippon even though she’s been trying to for years. And this time might be the last time. After losing this tournament and all their…
Anime and Context
Have you ever watched an anime with someone who is completely unfamiliar with the medium, let alone the different genre conventions therein? Therein… look at me! It can be a bit of an adventure, for all involved. That’s because it’s easy to forget that even though anime is just an audio-visual medium, like live-action movies or stop-motion…
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale – Nothing But Sweet
Ann is going to be a master sugar artisan. It’s her birthright, after all her mother was one of the best artisans in all the land. Granted this is not a title usually given to women. And now that her mother has passed away, Ann is nothing but a poor girl without any allies or…
I Just Wanna Talk About Tsukumogami
It’s what it says on the can folks.. It’s been a while since I took the time to write about Yokai and I just got a hankering for it all the sudden. I ould use this topic as an exploration of the traditions and cultures of a specific group and community within pop cultural texts…
Suzume – The Classic Story of a Girl and Her Chair
I might have whined a bit on this site about how I didn’t get to see Suzume in theaters. Well…I lied…I did! I found one artsy theater that was still showing it in Montreal and even managed to convince a couple of friends to go with me. And check out this poetic turn of events….
Miyazaki’s How Do You Live
Some of you may have heard about this already. Studio Ghibli will be releasing Miyazaki’s next and last film this year. And that is exciting news for any fan of the studio or legendary director. But I’m not here to talk about this movie. I’m more interested in the business. That’s not even the right…
Demon Slayer – Swordsmith Village Arc Episode 11 Gallery
And just like that, it’s summer! That was quite a season and more particularly, quite an episode. Crow and I try to parse it out over on Crow’s blog. There was so much going on though so let us know if we didn’t get to your favourite part! The episode looked great as well! I…
Pacing in Anime and the Importance of Lingering
This might come as something of a shock to some of you. Ok, shock is probably an exaggeration, let’s say a surprise! Ready? I am a bit of a fan of Natsume’s Book of Friends! I know right? Who would’ve thought! I bring this up because I was trying to explain to someone that I…
Dr. Stone 3 Episode 11 – Gallery Post
Here we are at the last episode of this season of Dr. Stone. And this one is really leaving me wanting more. Maybe a bit too much? We talk about it in more detail over on Crow’s World of Anime. You should go see what we have to say. In the meantime, let’s see what…
Monster – Manga Review
I have mentioned it here and there but I don’t blame you if you don’t know that I am a pretty big fan of Urasawa. I just really love this man’s writing style. Or at least I love his translators’ writing style. Did you know that he has a YouTube channel? Crazy Right!
Demon Slayer – Swordsmith Village Arc Episode 10 Review
Hello All! I hope you are having a great Friday. I’m sure I will be because: Friday! But before we start I would like to apologize to Crow. I am giving him this draft really at the last minute and it’s fine if it goes up a bit later than usual. It’s no excuse but…
