This is an odd top 5 list I know. But I feel like we can use a bit of levity right now and what better way to get that than a surprise dance number! What is a surprise dance number? Excellent question! It’s when a bunch of anime characters burst into dance when you don’t…
Genre : Comedy, Slice of Life, Supernatural, Sci Fi, School Episodes s3: 2 Episodes Reawakened : 6 Studio: J.C.Staff, EGG FIRM What possible problems could a guy that has almost unlimited psychic powers have? Well quite a lot really. First you have to develop the world’s most impenetrable poker face so that no one…
I heard the news that Crunchyroll hit a milestone 3 million subscribers recently and I thought it was about time I talked a bit about the currently reigning anime streaming service. I’m not that knowledgeable on it mind you and there are still many aspects of the business model that are obscure to me. However,…
One thing I have noticed now that I pay a minimum of attention to anime-related social media is that anime fans are just not that happy about anime. It seems every season has a show or two that’s picked out to stick in the wicker man and everyone just picks on them. And even when…
Ok so you all know I got embarrassingly behind on responding to award posts. Like almost 2 years behind on it which is 8impressive in a way since my blog is only a bit older than that! Hooray for me, I guess… It’s important to celebrate the little things! I guess people got a bit…
This week on Fire Force a character got topless and it wasn’t Tamaki. No seriously! I was going to talk about all these things like how the camera continuously went from overhead shot to a ground-level pan up view with a sharp cut between the two to establish each character’s mindset in the moment but…
It’s that time of the week again. the time when Crow and I talk about this week’s episode of re:Zero season 2 over on Crow’s World of Anime while I put up a whole bunch of screencaps here. To be a bit more precise, you can see our episode post right here! Re:Zero is not…
The anime community is a little weird to it’s own from time to time. For instance, I have occasionally come across fans that refuse to believe I actually watch anime not matter what I say for obscure reasons I have yet to discover. On the other hand, the majority of people tend to see the…
Genre : Action, romance, violence, Bottle Royal Episodes: 11 Studio: Nexus Mobile games are turning into a real bane. You think it’s all lighthearted casual fun, free to play easy to install and them before you know it they hit you with the small print. You’re just minding your own business and somehow…
And somehow this became a history of the Sports! anime genre… I’m pretty sure that people who take classes in creative writing, i.e. people who are not me, are told that stories need conflict. That’s a fairly old fashion view that isn’t true in all cases and they probably also say that in the classes….
Did you guys know that I’m a sucker for friendship pr0n? ‘Cause I am! a huge one! I’m a bros before… that word that rhymes with bros… and sisters before misters sorta girl! That makes me a prime candidate for shonen trash… For these not too familiar with the term, trash refers to me in…
Genre : Sports!, Comedy, School Episodes: 52 Studio: Madhouse, Baseball! No really that’s what happens. That’s all that happens! Ok, ok, so after a disappointing performance at the summer tournament in Koshien last summer, the Seido team is getting ready for revenge but now that the third years are gone and a slew…
Guys, I ate too much chocolate. As in I haven’t really eaten anything other than chocolate today and now my tummy hurts…for some reason… Why am I like this? For those of you new here, I am in fact a legally functioning adult. A concept that is as terrifying to me as it is to…
Hello, all. I hope you are enjoying your summer despite everything. If there’s one thing I’m appreciating, is that we are actually having a pretty mild summer here. And with just the perfect amount of rain. You know where it rains almost every day, but only for about an hour or so. Most of the…
I realize that all of the items on my list probably do exist. Despite people constantly telling me that anime really isn’t that big in Japan, I have the internet and I know just how much anime merchandise is available if I’m willing to pay 10x the price in shipping and wait 6 months… This…
