Have you ever had a crush on someone that turned out to be a bit of a jerk? Like you were all about that person and they just turn around and do something really inconsiderate….
A recurring theme I’ve noticed when reviewing series is that shows try to do “too much”.

Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I don’t know if my standards are dropping or I just feel protective of this show now that everybody has dropped it, but I liked this episode as well. Angels of Death is on an upswing if you ask me. Am I just trolling all you…
Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate. Steins;Gate…. I thought we had an understanding. I thought we agreed you would stop ending on those shock scenes and taking over my entire mind until the next episode. I thought we got the emotional stuff out of the way. We were just going to do some nice convoluted time hopping adventurin’ and…
I’ve been doing these top 5 lists for a little while now, and you know, they really don’t get enough credit. They are a lot harder to put together than people think. Just like any other type of post, you’ll get a wide range of quality out there, with some lists being barely a few…

Some of you may remember that I once wrote a post about naming posts. To this day, finding interesting yet meaningful post names is a huge challenge for me. I’m tempted to just name them randomly, like Henry or something… What I didn’t mention then is that names in general have long been a source…
Just in case that title wasn’t clear enough, this post is going to have some spoilers for the first trial of Danganronpa V3 so if you care about that then it was lovely of you to visit, I hope to see you again tomorrow. Otherwise I have kept it pretty spoiler free. So, enjoy without…

Well wasn’t this dramatic? If you’ve been around for a while, you may have picked up on the fact that I have no patience for melodrama. I can enjoy a good emotional release but it has to be measured and logical. Demonstrative angst is not my thing. This is generally why I prefer the visual…
