Some of you may have noticed that I have been more or less MIA for the past two weeks. It’s my annual bday vacation and I haven’t had as much time to blog. Or rather I have been extra lazy. But it’s almost over. This is the last weekend. I’m very sad. It’s a good…
The first episode of Chainsaw Man left me a bit unsure. I did like it but it was such a different experience from the one I had had with the manga that I ended up a little baffled. And knowing what lies ahead only worsened my unsteadiness. In a way, that makes me even more…
Maby, like me, you really enjoy Halloween time and want to get into the spirit of things with some appropriately-themed anime. And maybe, also like me, you happen to be a coward that doesn’t want to spend the next month sleeping with the lights on! Who am I kidding? There’s no way I’m getting to…
Today, let’s talk a bit about haunted houses in Japan. There are two types of haunted houses in Japan. The historical types where supposed murders or tragedies happened, and rumours spread. There are a lot of those in the US as well. Not that many in my neck of the woods. I think it’s because…
Titles: Sankarea Genre: Horror, drama, comedy, supernatural, romance, ecchi Episodes: 12 + 1 (I Too Am A Zombie) Studio: Studio DEEN I remember when twilight came out and a large number of people made fun of young women for finding pale vampire boys attractive. But you know what, it’s not like boys aren’t just as…
This is kind of a silly title, I know. I couldn’t come up with anything good that explained this post. See, I know that Halloween is a fairly recent occurrence in Japan and they don’t have many traditions around it, so I wondered if there was anything typically Japanese that was similar to North American…
I’m happy and a little surprised to confirm that I still get very excited for my yearly countdown to Halloween. That’s when I turn this blog to a place for all things mildly spooky and supernatural. And I’ve got something special planned for you this year. I’ve actually come up with something of a theme….
Guess who just spent 25 minutes or so snivelling and tearing up with a huge smile on their face. C’mon, I’ll give you three guesses. Nope! It was me!!! You would never have guessed that I know. Just wanted to surprise you there.
Just like everyone else I have been eagerly waiting for the anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man. This season is overflowing with amazing anime that I had been waiting for and that’s the only reason I haven’t been as focused on Chainsaw Man. Normally, this is all I would have been talking about for some time….
As someone who is fairly oblivious to the anime community I rarely hear about the pre-season hype. As such, I tend to base a lot of my expectations of any given anime on the cover image and title. Imagine my disappointment at the utter lack of fruit and serious basket under-representation in Fruits Basket… And…
When I started this blog, I knew very little about blogging. Not just about being a blogger but about blogs in general. I had participated in some forums but when it came to blogs, I generally read the post and moved on. To be honest, it took me a while to notice that blogs even…
Titles: Bubble Genre: Science fiction, action, drama, romance Durations: 1 hour, 40 mins Studio: Wit Studio 5 years ago Tokyo changed forever. 5 years ago, a beautiful rain of bubbles fell on the city and then, in a flash, Tokyo as we know it was no longer. Explosions and gravity distortions rendered the city difficult…
Guys, I have a story to tell you. It’s about me more than anime so you might not be as interested. Consider this your warning. I have mentioned many times on this blog that I do not have a large circle of anime-loving friends in real life. I have one but we don’t see each…
I mentioned some time ago that a bunch of sweet-looking Yuri manga were coming out and that I was going to get a few for my collection. I did and I have been reviewing them slowly. 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love is the last one of that batch. And it’s sort of…
I really like this show. I guess I’m just repeating myself over and over again. There was a moment as I was watching this episode, right at the beginning, maybe in the middle of the opening credits, when I was just hit with a wave of giddy joy. Like I was just excited and happy…
