I’ve been meaning to explore this subject for a while now. I read a lot of your reviews. A lot. And I see a clearly story centric trend in them. Design and production elements are clearly not given the same weight as creative ones. Even when it comes to fanservice. And that’s when they are…
You know, Zombieland Saga turned out to be both exactly what I expected and completely different from what I thought it would be. I bet a lot of people feel this way, but I mean it as a compliment! This episode is a perfect example of just that. Crow and I had quite the time…
So far I’ve managed to stay pretty far away from Neon Genesis Evangelion on this blog. I’ve mentioned it in passing but I’ve yet to dedicate a single post to any of its many themes, characters or legacies. Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that the series has had an important impact on…
Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation I realize that most of my readers don’t watch Tsurune. This isn’t very surprising and I fully expected it when I started reviewing the show. However, this means that I have the added responsibility to covey the series in the most accurate and objective way to my audience as…
There’s no old maxim in the anime community that it takes a full 3 episodes to be able to truly appreciate a show and determine if it’s worth your time. Or 25% of a single cour season. I’m not sure if this rule applies to other forms of media or not but I’ve only heard…
If there’s one thing this blogging journey has taught me, is that I’m weirder than I thought. I’m definitely not the “average” MAL user. Not only am I a completely different demographic in almost every respect, but I find the ratings baffling. I don’t often agree with them, even though they’re normalized over thousands of…
Genre : Shounen, action, school, comedy, superhero Episodes: 25 Studio: Bones The road to herohood(?), herodom(?), heroness… is a difficult one. Littered with obstacles and unforeseen dangers. As it should be! After all you can’t expect to become the best without putting in the effort. A reality that the students of UA’s class 1-A are reminded of…
Man watching anime takes a lot of time. Have you seen some peoples MAL profiles…they spend YEARS doing it. Who has that type of leisure? Certainly not YOU! We’re busy people, we got….stuff to do. On top of that watching and even occasionally writing about anime, impossible! Imagine how much you could get done if…
Is it just me or is this season better that we thought i would be? I am having fun with the few shows I’m watching and hearing great things about a lot more. Anywho, Crow (crowsworldofanime.com) and I are back to discuss the surprisingly likeable Zombieland Saga. Because this is my blog, I have decided…
Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation It is not entirely impossible that I spent half the episode trying to come up with some type of archery pun for the title. I failed. I’m sorry. It hurts me considerably more than it hurts you… And you know, at first I was scolding myself for not paying…
You know guys, it’s not always all or nothing. I can love a show and dislike some aspects of it. I can find a specific episode super boring and still think the series is great as a whole. I can also dislike a show and think that it has great things going for it and…
Those of you who are regulars on this blog… Oh my… There are people who regularly read my posts… that’s still a little though to wrap my mind around. Sorry I’m back! As I was saying, those of you who’ve read a few of my posts may remember that I have an odd interest in…
Genre: Mecha, adventure, comedy, short, fanservice Episodes: 18 Studio: Gonzo There is no place quite as safe and comfortable for Subaru Ichinose, as the cockpit of his Durandal. A young ace pilot, Subaru has devoted his entire life to his training and now, he can finally put it all to good use on the front lines, as…
Ok so I’m not taking this Halloween themed week seriously enough… I did the same thing last year. I tried to pass a blood type personality post as “spooky”. For the record I’m still AB. It’s scary how accurate that thing is!!! How about this fun little activity we can all do in this month…

Come enjoy a vivacious night life full of excitement. Meet the colourful locals, warm and friendly folks as well as master craftsmen the likes of which we so rarely get to see…
