Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this episode. In fact, I liked it in a lot of ways. I mean fat Fushi is one of my favorite sights and I want a keychain of him. But when it came time to find a title, the only word that came to mind was: useless. Also,…
Are you guys starting to get a feel for this show yet? That was episode 4 of 12, we’re a third of the way through. I’m starting to think that we won’t be getting through the Public Safety Arc in just one season. In fact, I hope we don’t. I wouldn’t mind if the anime…

I’ve done it, I broke the code. I know exactly what you have to do to come up with a super popular anime character. I bet you want to know the secret as well. I can’t believe I’m giving this stuff away for free! I once wrote a post about the most popular characters in…

It’s actually Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you get lots of treats in your preferred form. I hope you have fun and that your costume is not too uncomfortable. And if you’re not going to wear a costume, I still hope you’re not too uncomfortable! Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, it…
I’m finally back from vacation but now I’m sick. I’m soooo sick. It’s just a cold but it’s a yucky one. I’ve been battling it all week but it really got bad these last few days. I just hope I can get better tomorrow so that by Monday I’ll be ready with my Anya costume….
Some of you may know that I reviewed the first season of To Your Eternity episodically. The links at the bottom of this post would probably have clued you in. So naturally, I wanted to continue for season 2. The first season of To Your Eternity was uneven. It had some great highs, a few…

Awww yeah! It’s that time of year again. The time when I post another silly “scarier in Japan” post! I actually really enjoy writing these. It’s tricky coming up with new ones by now but I think I hit the jackpot with superstitions. Japan has some really fun ones! If you are curious about the…

Rozi is a curious mix of cute, adorable and yet creepy. A perfect read for this time of year! As some of you may know, I occasionally just buy first volumes of manga I know nothing about for fun. I am slowly starting to collect them on kindle which I enjoy a lot and I…
