Have I mentioned how much of a challenge writing episode reviews for Play it Cool, Guys, is? It’s an enjoyable challenge that I look forward to each week, but a challenge nevertheless. Not only is this a show where almost nothing happens but it’s also a short program, so almost nothing happens for a brief…
Oh me oh my. This is a whole different type of trouble now. We haven’t quite seen this type of conflict in Spy x Family before. Normally, I would say no one stands a chance against Yor but this…. it’s just not the kind of battle Yor is used to fighting. She’s not trained for…
Well, they’re just rewriting all the rules in To Your Eternity all of a sudden. I’m not against it. It’s certainly ambitious to introduce so many paradigm-shifting ideas in the span of two episodes but it can be invigorating. This said it can also turn out to be a disaster if they don’t know how…
I can’t quite explain this. Every week, I watch Chainsaw Man and enjoy it. I think it looks good while I’m watching it. Maybe not my favourite visuals but there is definitely a flair to the production. Then the episode ends and I start sorting through the screencaps that were taken automatically. Without fail, every…
One f my very first top lists and still one close to my heart. I hope you guys like it! Honestly – why didn’t I think of this earlier… Whether sloppy lightweight or hard-drinking party animals, liquor-loving characters are often used to inject some fun-loving life into a story. They remind us to enjoy the…
Titles: Kono Oto Tomare!: Sounds of Life, Stop at this Sound! Genre: Music, school, comedy, drama Episodes: 13 + 13 Studio: Platinum Vision I’ve personally never been in a competitive school club that would go to nationals or anything like that. I’ve never had the experience of having all the seniors leave and being all…
Before I stopped eating meat, octopus was probably my favourite. But I gave it up before discovering the joys of Takoyaki so I thought that I would never find out for myself what those delicious-looking little pancake balls taste like. On paper, it sounded like the perfect dish for me but sadly, being both vegetarian…
Hello everyone, I’m back. Some of you may not have known that I was gone at all. Good! That’s how it’s supposed to be. This is what happened:
Hoshitani and the boys finally made it to their second year at Ayanagi Academy’s prestigious musical department. Now that the guys have learned how to work together and the members of the Kao Council have all graduated and moved on to bigger things, it’s going to be smooth sailing up ahead, right? exactly. Just because…
For a second there I thought this might have been the last episode of Play it Cool, Guys. It’s not that I wanted it to be and I know there is a lot more of the manga but it also seemed like such a good place to stop. I can’t quite explain it but it…
So the issue with my gifs seems to have fixed itself. I’m quite happy about that. I like creating gifs for my post headers. I think it’s fun. I do wish I knew what had caused the issue in the first place though. I find that sometimes WordPress tinkers with things and they don’t warn…
Hmmmm… I said it before, there is something about To Your Eternity that’s just different. The way it treats its characters, the way it acknowledges morality but never quite commits to anything, and the way it insists on the mundane horrors when the story is full of supernatural. And it doesn’t always stick the landing, but…
Last week I divided up all my screencaps because the episode went through so many visual changes that when you grouped them all together, they lost their impact. This sort of visual evolution adds a sense of movement to the episode. This week it’s the complete opposite. All my screencaps look like they could be…
I am astounded I haven’t written this list before. Maybe I have but I looked through my blog and I couldn’t find it. So it really is grand time I put one together. It’s certainly not an uncommon experience for anime fans to admire the varied and occasionally ornate school uniforms that feature in some…
Today’s post is actually written by Timothy Ross who is this awesome artist who teaches online courses on drawing. If you’re interested, you can see some of them right HERE. In this tutorial, we’re going to draw Naruto. Naruto is a popular manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. The series tells the story…
