I had to look up exactly what backdraft meant in the context of a fire to be certain it fit the episode. The actual definition is: a phenomenon in which a fire that has consumed all available oxygen suddenly explodes when more oxygen is made available, typically because a door or window has been opened….

Spoiler Etiquette
It’s just good manners… If you have a blog that reviews or even just discusses current media, you have probably had to pay attention to spoilers. More specifically, how to write a complete article while avoiding any and all spoilers. One thing I have noticed about anime blogs in particular is that a lot of…
The God of Highschool ep. 5 – Roller Coaster
So The God of Highschool is a bit all over the place, isn’t it? I mean tonally but also in pacing. I read the corresponding chapters of the manhwa just out of curiosity and technically the tonal and pacing shifts are present in the source (although not identical) but it just works much better in…
We could all use a little sunshine!
You might not believe this but when I started this blog I swore I would answer each and every tag post I got. That lasted about a year and then completely snowballed out of control. Those tags add up real fast! At one point I just couldn’t keep up, not to mention that I would…

My Top 6 Anime Sceneries
A little while ago…actually I have no clue when this will actually publish so maybe some months ago… I watched A Whisker Away and I was completely charmed by the beautiful views of the city that were present throughout the movie. When an anime captures the beauty of the world surrounding the characters it can…
Webtoon Adaptations and the Challenges of Serial Fiction
Anime fans all over have most likely heard of the two recent Crunchyroll vehicles based on popular Webtoons. Namely last season’s Tower of God and the brand new God of HighSchool. So lots of Gods… I watched Tower of God and plan on continuing to watch God of HighSchool, I’ve also partially read each webtoon…
Wait… There’s Something Called Anime Alienation? Animenation??
Before some of you jump at me, I’m not saying that anything I’m about to discuss is fact or even true. I simply read a thesis that put forth a couple of theories about the rise of anime popularity and how to interpret that in a social context which I thought was interesting. It was…

Fire Force 2 Episode 4 – Day of The Living Ash
