I like to think of myself as not entirely uncultured but there is always going to be a bit of a culture clash when I watch anime. I think that’s true for a lot of western viewers. The social reality we live in as well as the history, traditions and beliefs we grew up with…
I really like the word mediocre. I wish it hadn’t unjustly been saddled with vaguely negative connotations. I think mediocre is so much more fun to say than average.
Genre : Supernatural thriller, suspense, action, drama Movie: 50 minutes Studio: Ufotable This is a story of a lonely girl and a determined doll. It is not a very happy story but sometimes stories just go that way. It is a story about how pain and yearning can make monsters out if us before…
It’s Mother’s day tomorrow. As soon as I am done writing this I will start cooking. We’re going to eat a very elaborate vegetarien sautée or, if I fail, we’re gonna order Dominos, and watch a sci fi movie marathon. How about you Crow, any big plans? If you like sci fi you are welcomed…
Hello everyone. Irina here and boy do I have a headache. It’s a doozy. I’m considering just going to bed at 5 pm and calling it a day. But first Matt (in regular text) and I are going to bring you this week’s episode of Cinderella 9. That’s dedication. I know your week isn’t complete without…
Boy I loved this episode. It helps that I’ve always had a soft spot for Higuchi but even without that, it was just great! And you can see exactly what I thought of it over at 100Word Anime. If you are the type that’s more into images though – you have come to the right…
There will be no top 5 today. Instead I’m starting something new and terribly exciting over at 100word anime. If you want to read about this new project or about the possibility of those kids zip lining on makeshift equipment in the Promised Neverland, please go ahead and read it (here). I would really love…
David Majors is a Twitter buddy. Am I bragging? You bet I am. I’m not sure how we found each other exactly but we’ve been politely exchanging tweets for a while now. I’ve always found him to be that difficult to come by mix of authority and respect when it comes to anime topics. I…
Genre : Comedy, Slice of Life, Episodes: 12 Studio: Diomedéa There are very few things that Chio wants out of life. A good computer and some peace and quiet to play video games. One long time friend to chat with at school. And avoid standing out at all costs. She has spent her entire life working…
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while…. Wait that was even blunter than usual. I mean: Hi Guys! How is everyone? Enjoying early spring? Montreal has never been a city you choose for the weather but the past few years have really been brutal. A little dose of sunshine is certainly welcomed!
When I called out for help and inspiration on anime characters to write about, Kill la Kill’s Ryuko was one of the top contenders. She doesn’t exactly fit the underrated/underappreciated theme I’m trying to go for. In fact, she’s one of the few characters with her very own TV tropes page I have now wasted an afternoon…
Well this show is not letting up. I have been seeing some rumblings about it and I realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it is mine and exactly what I was hoping for from this type of series. See if Crow agrees with me: https://www.crowsworldofanime.com/posts/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-episode-5-a-cool-sidekick-and-the-first-mission/#comment-1437
I started a feature with Zodiac expert Gaijin but because I’m a bum, he got the first post out before I managed to do my part. So please go over to Trust the Gaijin to read all about Ayame’s sign (who doesn’t want to learn more about Ayame!!! – no one) then you can see how it…
It’s good writing not to just give away the punch line right from the start. I’ve tried to become a better blogger by reading a number of writing guides and essays for post format. They suggest vague titles that give you a good idea of the content but don’t give away too much. Your posts…
You guys keep telling me (ok, mostly Fred) that putting more nudity in my posts will draw the readers in. I’m finally listening! It takes me a while to pick up on stuff… This is actually a list that’s been in my post idea folder for a minute. Not because I thought it would be…
