Huh, huh!!!??!! Yeah!!??!! Look, I don’t know how you guys feel but when I had this reveal for the first time my jaw was on the floor. I just really really like this turn of events. And we don’t have all the details yet but I also happen to like the motivation a hell of…
I’m happy to see that the first episode of ZOM 100 was generally well-received. All things considered, it’s a bit of a goofy zombie story but I think it goes to some genuinely touching places and I’m glad I’ll get to see those scenes in fully animated glory. If anyone survives long enough to get…
Did you need a dose of cute this week? Cause if you did, The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today has got you covered. Adorable way to beat the mid week blues!
I saw a video essay analyzing poetry not too long ago and the lovely commentator warned that too much alliteration can make your writing seem amateurish. I took that as a challenge! So yes, this post is going to be a brief review of Lost Lad London but I also wanted to take the opportunity…
A dream is a wish your heart makes All of this might sound a little dramatic to some of you. It might be a bit too much production for what I’m about to talk about. But to me, it’s barely enough. I cannot overstate how happy the news made me. It made my heart race…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…
