Somali made a second friend it seems. I think Kikila was a better influence. General rule of thumb, when in doubt, pick the friend that hasn’t seriously tried to kill you. Maybe that’s just me.

My Hero Academia s4 ep80- A Mild Cheese
We got somewhat buried in snow over the last few days. Actually, it’s not that impressive. It’s really a perfectly average amount of snow for February in Quebec and far from the huge snow storm they’ve been promising. In fact, it’s been sort of light on snow this year. In any case, it’s now a…
Somali and The Forest Spirit Episode 5 – Desperate Times
I see what Somali and The Forest Spirit is trying to do with this arc. At least I think I see it. But in my opinion there’s a fatal flaw in the plan. But I’ll get to that in just a minute!
Somali and The Forest Spirit Episode 4 – A Kind Lie
With every passing week, Somali and the Forest Spirit is reminding me more and more of Ghibli with maybe just some traditional Disney sprinkles here and there. And I know we’ve been very disillusioned with Disney (with good reason I might add) but there’s no denying the impact and importance of the studio on the…
My Hero Academia s4 ep78 – Aftermath
So how do you follow up an episode like Bright Future? An unenviable task for sure. Last week’s My Hero Academia rocked me and essentially recontextualized the entire season for me. Potentially the entire series. It’s a much harsher and more uncompromising world that greets me this week, but also more empathic. One with real…
Somali and The Forest Spirit Episode 3 – Poisoned Mushroom
For some reason, the 1000 word or so episode review I wrote for Somali and the Forrest Spirit on Thursday seems to have vanished, all but the feature image that is. So I now find myself trying to rewrite it on the spot and I can’t say I’m thrilled about it. I liked that review…
Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep77: Consequences and Into That Good Night
Have you ever heard how hard it is to write concisely? Back in our collaboration review of episode 70, Irina from I Drink and Watch Anime said she wanted to “keep my episode reviews a bit more concise because they were getting way out of control.” Now, one one hand I’d argue that her reviews… via…

Genre : Action, political thriller, mystery, magical girl(?) Episodes: 12 Studio: Actas As someone who lives in a very cold country, I have a healthy appreciation for walls.

My Hero Academia s4 ep76 – The Impossible

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! – Adventure Awaits!
This is another series I will be reviewing with Karandi over on 100 Word Anime but she wanted to get her solo first impressions out of the way, and my brain can’t accept that I just start at episode 2. The world can’t work that way…

Somali and The Forest Spirit Sure is Pretty (Episode 1)
I just saw the first episode of Somali and the Forest Spirit when it premiered on Thursday and about 3 seconds in I said to myself, boy, this show sure is pretty! This is the first thing I’ve seen of the winter season so I didn’t know if I would be reviewing it or not…
