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…

Chainsaw Man ep2 – The Power
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…
Top 5 Anime to Watch on Halloween when You Don’t Like Horror
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…
Haunted Houses in Japan
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…
Sankarea: Undying love – Chihiro and the Dead Girl
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…
The spookiest celebration in Japan is O-Bon
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…
Countdown to Halloween 2022!
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….
Spy x Family episode 15 – Family Reunion
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.
Chainsaw Man ep1 – A Normal Life
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….
Top 5 Anime Titles That Mislead Me
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…
Finally Learning to Moderate My Comments
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…
Bubble – A Shiny Shell Filled With Air
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…
Making Anime Buddies
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…
5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love Manga Review
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…
Spy x Family episode 14 – Future Family
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…
