I love carbs. This doesn’t make me special. A lot of people love carbs. Carbs are great! And one of the best carbs out there is freshly baked bread. I’m not talking about that weird white sliced sponge thing that’s been in your cupboard for 3 weeks now, I’m talking straight out of the oven,…
I’m still having so much fun with this show. It’s hard to describe the appeal to someone who isn’t watching it. Play it cool guys is the most about-nothing show I have ever seen. For instance, in this entire episode, one of the characters bought a cardigan and then showed it to another one of…
Archery looks like fun, doesn’t it? Not necessarily competitions. That seems a bit too stressful for my tastes. Especially when your performance can let your entire team down. But just shooting at a target looks like tons of fun. I’ve done it a few times in my life and always enjoyed it. I can totally…
Fushi’s battle plan is coming into focus and it’s an ambitious one. An overly ambitious one. If I know this show at all, I’m thinking that Fushi trying to defend an entire city this size all by himself and stubbornly refusing help is most likely going to end in disaster. Hopefully, he’ll come to his…
Do you know the expression Big Fish in a Small Bowl? It means that a person is considered particularly talented in some way but is also compared to a very small group of other people making it easier to stand out. Ashito Aoi is a big fish in a small bowl. He’s the star of…
I’m sure a lot of you know this already but as I am going to be talking about gakurans a lot, I think I should start by defining the term. Gakurans are those boys’ school uniforms you often see in anime that aren’t a blazer and tie. Those high-neck black overshirts or coats with shiny…
I bet a lot of you slept on The Little Lies We All Tell and now that title has you curious. What could an anime called The Little Lies We All Tell be about? What mysteries and intrigues are held prisoner in those episodes? Should I tell you? That seems too easy. Ok, how about…
For those of you who don’t read my blog regularly, you might not know that I have a loose schedule I follow. That includes episode reviews on the weekends. I’m not sure why, I just fell into that rhythm. Personally, I just don’t have the discipline and flexibility to do that many seasonal episode reviews…
Nice guys finish last. Ok, maybe nice isn’t the right term here but you know what I mean. You spend your entire life fighting for all of humanity against countless foes. You give it your all, blood sweat and tears. Mostly blood, a lot of it! You stand tall against demons, devils and monsters so…
Play it Cool, Guys is halfway through already. I’m quite happy that it turned out to be a 24-episode season. For a while there it was unannounced. I feel like that guys are just hitting their stride and I look forward to what Igarashi will bring to the dynamic!
An odd thing happens when I watch Tsurune. I simultaneously think to myself, what a calm, quiet little show. It sure is breezy for a Sports anime but then before I know it, the closing credits are rolling over the image. Where did the time go? How did it fly by when almost nothing happened?…
It’s the start of a new anime season and I’m all excited. I’m always excited when the new season starts even though I wait until most shows are done airing before starting them since I’m too impatient for weekly watches. Well, there are a lot of shows from last season I am really looking forward…
Serufu Yua has always been clumsy. So clumsy in fact that it’s even been a constant source of concern for her best friend Miku. But now that they are both in high school, Serufu wants to prove that she can get by without relying so much on her childhood friend and Miku is happy to…
Some time ago, I was watching a cute girl anime and there were a number of random scenes where the main character(s) just basically had a mukbang for no reason. Half a rando episode was just dedicated to cute girls eating huge amounts of food. And it seemed a bit odd because it was out…
Occasionally, I will be talking to someone about anime online and suddenly they become passionate about how much they dislike a certain character. This almost always takes me by surprise. Not always, some characters are badly written or just don’t fit at all in a story and everyone sort of dislikes them for it but…
