I love it when Otherside Picnic makes things easy for me and just straight up tells me what Urban Legend they are referencing. Man was I excited!and then – nothing. A google search for Sannuki Kano gave me a bunch of reviews about this episode, trying to narrow it down by adding urban legend was…
Let me get some disclaimers out of the way. It is very possible that some of these titles will get English translations by the time this post gets published, I do write these sometimes several months in advance. And it’s also quite possible that they already have an official translation and I wasn’t able to…
Throughout the years I’ve collaborated with a lot of bloggers and guest posted on a few blogs. But only recently have I had bloggers guest post on my blog and it’s made me realize a few things. Generally, I collaborate for three big reasons. 1) I am not a good representation of the average anime…
Titles: Star Mu; STARMYU; High School Star Musical Genre: Comedy, School, Slice of Life, Music, Stardust Episodes: 12 Studio: C-Station Ayana Academy is a school like no other. The lucky young men who graduate from its hallowed halls don’t just get to look forward to a bright future, they get to become Stars! But that’s…
The title may sound a bit dramatic there but it’s a serious question. Over the years, there have been numerous outcries in the anime community about censorship. In the past 10 years, I would say. Before that, we international anime fans would take what we could get even if it had huge black rectangles over…
I know, I know, I was supposed to stick to webcomics but it’s just that I recently finished both of these series and I wanted to talk about them, just a little bit.
Quick Summary of The Promised Neverland Season 2 Episode 7 In The Promised Neverland Season 2 Episode 7, “Episode 7,” Norman explained why he called Mujika the “evil-blooded girl,” proving once again that perspective is everything. After the explanation, Emma felt even more determined to save her friends — human and demon both. Norman’s wounds… The…
Another great episode of Horimiya, but first, the obvious question: Irina, what would you do the day before the world ends? I know I sure agree with Remi on desserts… Irina: I honestly thought about it and I would order pizzapizza funnel cake sticks and fried jalapeno poppers then spend the day drinking vodka while […]…
I’m actually a little bummed that we’re at the final battle already. There are still 4 episodes left to go so it’s not that bad, but this season of Dr. Stone really flew by. I’m seriously thinking of just buying the manga. I should actually just read the digital version. I already subscribe to Shonen…
Welcome back everyone to our review of Otherside Picnic. This week an excuse to indulge in the internet’s favorite past time and still call it productive. Joined as always by the great Irina. Do you enjoy kitties Irina? Also there’s a lot of chatter around the grapevine about WordPress making it easier to convert posts […]…
So I finished xxxHOLiC, the manga last week and guys, do yourselves a favour and read xxxHOLiC. It’s such a lovely musing on the subtle nature of friendship and family. I really liked it. Right now, I’m reading Noragami. I’m finally into material that was not covered by the anime and it’s the best so…
I should probably warn you that I have not yet gotten around to seeing some classic detective animes like Monster and Hyouka and as such, I am not familiar with the anime detectives they feature. So this list may need to get updated in a year or two. I really like mysteries. In general, I…

All his life this has been his blessing and his curse. But after losing his parents at a young age, this gift is starting to weigh even more on…
I think some of you may know my preference for watching anime subtitled. I think I’ve mentioned it a few times before. It’s not that I believe it to be a better experience or anything, I just happen to really enjoy the sound of Japanese as a language and also prefer Japanese acting trends. But…
It’s never too early to get your summer manga reading list together. Mostly because making reading lists is sort of my way of not just buying every single manga I see. It hasn’t been working terribly well. And oh boy, when it rains it deluges. Since starting to work with Seven Seas, they have been…
