I saw a video essay analyzing poetry not too long ago and the lovely commentator warned that too much alliteration can make your writing seem amateurish. I took that as a challenge! So yes, this post is going to be a brief review of Lost Lad London but I also wanted to take the opportunity…
I know that I usually come up with my own post title instead of using the episode titles but I just think this one is perfect as it is. There’s no way I could have come up with something better! And so it’s back! It’s back you guys!!! Of course, I was going to watch…
I guess this is going to be a season where I watch anime I have already read the manga for. That’s a very new experience for me. But I couldn’t possibly skip ZOM 100. I love the manga and this is one of my most eagerly awaited adaptations. (With the Apothecary Diaries!) There’s always a…
Some of you may remember that I have written about the manga The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today. I ended up quite liking the first volume and have in fact kept up with the manga as they come out. It’s just really cute. So I was super excited to see that an adaptation was…
Michi or should I say Ippon Michi loves Judo. Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say Ippon Michi cause she really doesn’t do many Ippons at all. In fact, she’s never won by Ippon even though she’s been trying to for years. And this time might be the last time. After losing this tournament and all their…
Have you ever watched an anime with someone who is completely unfamiliar with the medium, let alone the different genre conventions therein? Therein… look at me! It can be a bit of an adventure, for all involved. That’s because it’s easy to forget that even though anime is just an audio-visual medium, like live-action movies or stop-motion…
Ann is going to be a master sugar artisan. It’s her birthright, after all her mother was one of the best artisans in all the land. Granted this is not a title usually given to women. And now that her mother has passed away, Ann is nothing but a poor girl without any allies or…
It’s what it says on the can folks.. It’s been a while since I took the time to write about Yokai and I just got a hankering for it all the sudden. I ould use this topic as an exploration of the traditions and cultures of a specific group and community within pop cultural texts…
I might have whined a bit on this site about how I didn’t get to see Suzume in theaters. Well…I lied…I did! I found one artsy theater that was still showing it in Montreal and even managed to convince a couple of friends to go with me. And check out this poetic turn of events….
And just like that, it’s summer! That was quite a season and more particularly, quite an episode. Crow and I try to parse it out over on Crow’s blog. There was so much going on though so let us know if we didn’t get to your favourite part! The episode looked great as well! I…
Here we are at the last episode of this season of Dr. Stone. And this one is really leaving me wanting more. Maybe a bit too much? We talk about it in more detail over on Crow’s World of Anime. You should go see what we have to say. In the meantime, let’s see what…
I have mentioned it here and there but I don’t blame you if you don’t know that I am a pretty big fan of Urasawa. I just really love this man’s writing style. Or at least I love his translators’ writing style. Did you know that he has a YouTube channel? Crazy Right!
Hello All! I hope you are having a great Friday. I’m sure I will be because: Friday! But before we start I would like to apologize to Crow. I am giving him this draft really at the last minute and it’s fine if it goes up a bit later than usual. It’s no excuse but…
Nagomi has dreamed of becoming a maid for as long as she can remember. There’s something just so magical about working in a maid café, isn’t there? You get to dress up all cute and learn fun dance moves. You can practice your singing and learn the ancient art of ketchup doodling. The other maids…
Hello everyone. Welcome back to our Dr. Stone recaps! I have to say, the thing that hit me the most about this particular episode wasn’t anything that happened but rather realizing that this is the penultimate episode of the season. I’m already a little frustrated at the inevitable cliffhanger I see coming our way. But…
