Guys, I ate too much chocolate. As in I haven’t really eaten anything other than chocolate today and now my tummy hurts…for some reason… Why am I like this? For those of you new here, I am in fact a legally functioning adult. A concept that is as terrifying to me as it is to…
Hello, all. I hope you are enjoying your summer despite everything. If there’s one thing I’m appreciating, is that we are actually having a pretty mild summer here. And with just the perfect amount of rain. You know where it rains almost every day, but only for about an hour or so. Most of the…
I realize that all of the items on my list probably do exist. Despite people constantly telling me that anime really isn’t that big in Japan, I have the internet and I know just how much anime merchandise is available if I’m willing to pay 10x the price in shipping and wait 6 months… This…

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. By sheer coincidence, OWLS is doing folklore in honour of the Taylor Swift album as a theme this month and Yokai is one…

For those of you who don’t know, Quebec has a pretty deep and slightly sorted history with the catholic church. As such, a lot of the regional swear words are directly related to it. Well, the French ones. Our religious and political history is divided along language lines which is pretty interesting. So tabernacle is…
I think most of you know the drill by now, head on over to Crow’s site for the good stuff. You can take a look here if you want to see pictures though. YAY pictures! And since the last gallery I put up, I decided to upgrade my router so now my screencaps are all…
Why does anime food always look so yummy? There you are, innocently sitting down to a few episodes after a long day at work and before you know it your drooling on your couch and wondering who will deliver okonomiyaki… I really love Okonomiyaki. There’s a tiny little restaurant that makes awesome ones in Montreal…
Most anime watchers have a vague notion of something they consider their anime comfort zone. Genres and studios they are more familiar with or tend to enjoy more consistently, maybe tropes and character archetypes they tend to gravitate towards more than others. It’s not anything steadfast. I don’t think any of us would categorically refuse…
Never give up! Never surrender!!! If you’ve watched any amount of shonen anime (or really any popular action based media aimed at a younger audience) it’s a sentiment you must be very familiar with. Heck, determination might be the one universal trait of any action hero worthy of the name. That and abject coolness. It’s…
I could be wrong but now that we’re at the halfway point, it seems as if we may finally be getting to the meat of the story for The God of Highschool. I may have missed this but why is the tournament called The God of Highschool. I get the god part and we got ann…
