These opening paragraphs are always the hardest part for me. Once you get into the review you can weave your thoughts through a recap of the episode and everything falls into place. Here, I have to come up with something all on my own. It’s a little intimidating. Thankfully, I can always count on my…

Dr. Stone Episode 20 – Sweet and Fluffy
Right now Dr. Stone is sneaking up on me. I know that I enjoy the show, I consistently have fun watching it and when an episode ends I start looking forward to the next. And yet, it’s as if I suffer from some weird form of anime amnesia (animesia?) and every Friday I’m yet again…
Top 5 Things Only I Care About in Anime
Look, I care about some weird things. Some really weird things. I know that. But we all have some odd little anime fetishes, it’s o.k., that what makes it fun! When I started to share my love of anime more with others, I also started to realize that there are elements that no one but…
The Legend of Black Heaven and The Power of Midlife Crisis
Genre : Science Fiction, music, wish fulfillment, parody Episodes: 13 Studio: AIC, A.P.P.P. Oji, I mean Gabriel, is not having fun! One minute he was a lean mean rock god at the night if his glory and then he blinked and it was all gone. Now he’s just another middle-aged salary man shlub working…
Does Animation Distill a Serious Message?
We’ve all heard it at some point. An innocent anime uninitiated that tells us “oh yeah, the Japanese cartoons?” or “isn’t it for kids?”… It drives some of us crazy. Not the questions themselves but the implications. The undertone isn’t always there, however once in a while you do get the feeling that people think…
Fire Force Episode 16 – The Impossible Dream – Gallery
Fire Force is on a real roll if you ask me. It’s been really good for a while and this week…well if you want to read all my thoughts on it, you can do so over on 100 Word Anime, I would really appreciate it. In the meantime though, feel free to appreciate some of…
Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep67 – Disarming the Bomb and Twisting Fate —
Hi everyone! Irina (from I Drink and Watch Anime) and I are back to review My Hero Academia season 4’s episode “Fighting Fate.” How was your week, Irina? Was it as cold in Canada as it was here in Ohio? We’re having temperatures more typical of January! It’s coldish but nowhere near January temperatures. The… via…
Psycho Pass s3 ep3 – Tensions Flare
Another week, another brand-new episode of Psycho Pass. I’m going to hold back and be all mysterious and stuff. Because that’s how I do. I definitely don’t blurt out exactly how I feel about a show in the very first line of every post and then there’s no point in reading the rest. Nuh-huh. No…
Dr. Stone Episode 19 – Tsukasa the Beloved
On Fridays I watch Dr. Stone and Fire Force so this Friday was just chalk full of Fire and Fury! I’m not sure if it’s a weird combo. I feel like not that many people are watching both of these even if they do have a lot of elements in common. I went off on…
Top 5 Anime to Watch When You Have a Cold
You may think that Canada is the land of maple syrup and apologies but it’s not. Well it is, sorry. However, it’s also the land of colds! At the very least Quebec is. The constant humidity mixed with some of the fastest and most radical temperature variations year round means that if you go anywhere…
We Fear What We Know? Do Our Regional Fears Influence Anime?
I was going to write this as part of my Halloween post series. The idea was simple enough, see if there is a significant difference between common fears based on location and then try to make a correlation with what we see in anime. However, as I started to research the post, it sort of…
Visuals Matter in Anime
Did that title blow your mind? There are few more obvious statements I could make. To be honest I struggled with it quite a bit. I just couldn’t figure out how to explain what I wanted to talk about in one sentence. Let me give you the context:
Mob Psycho 100 s1 – The New Guard
Genre : Action, comedy, supernatural, urban fantasy, science fiction. Episodes: 12 Studio: Bones Being a teenager is hard. Your body does all sorts of crazy things, your hormones go wild. And you’re supposed to figure out who you are through all that? How is that a reasonable plan? And what if there’s a chance…
Fire Force Episode 15 – Drought – Gallery
Fire Force revamped itself for midseason with a new OP and ED as well as new characters to join our main cast. It’s a breath of fresh air. But it still looks like Fire Force and considering Fire Force looks amazing, that’s a good thing. As for the story, I write about it over on…
Psycho Pass s3 ep2 – The Hand Off
Welcome back everyone to my Psycho Pass watch-a-long with Matt! I’m surprised by how few bloggers seem to be watching this series but that’s o.k. Small parties are the funnest! Also, my week has been a killer so I don’t want to go to some huge party! Next week is gruesome too but after that, it…
