For those of us who write anime reviews, especially those brave souls who do so on an episodic basis, there will come a time when you are faced with a show you just don’t have that much to say about. You know…it was fine. I can hear some of you already, just don’t review it if…

The Importance of Frivolity
Boy some of you guys sure are smart, and witty, and you know big words and stuff…My reader feed gets regularly populated by deeply insightful academic dissertation of my favorite animes or topical parsings of the elements of a particular genre. Keep it up! It’s really fascinating, and I appreciate the enormous amount of work…
In Defense of Tags – A Non Tag Post about Tags
If you’ve been blogging or reading non-professional blogs for any amount of time, you’ve most likely come across the “award” or tag post at some point. These wily little beasts are the cause of much inconsequential dilemmas in the blogging community. Everyone has their own views and takes on them and how to approach one….
In Anime and In Blogging, There is Nothing New Under the Sun
You know that thing: the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? It’s basically when you’ve never even thought of something but suddenly it occurs to you then you start seeing it everywhere? I think it might be my superpower… With blog posts at least… As some of you know, I schedule everything and on average will write a post 2…
Small Blog Schedule Update
Hello Everyone! Hows is everybody doing today? It’s a Monday, I know… I hope you’re doing as well as possible for a Monday though. Recently, I’ve had a few projet changes to my blog. Basically, I finished my 30 day(week) challenges for Hunter x Hunter and Soul Eater as well as my glorious participation in…
I Respectfully Disagree
Do you visit my blog for all the anime content? I admire your optimism! I’ll get back to reviews someday soon, I promise. Sadly, not today…. I am once again going to babble on about a random subject for way too long because I haven’t yet finished an anime I can review for you… Have…
Dealing With A Lull
Very few things in life are sustained. Pretty much everything both inside and outside of ourselves, goes through periods of high stress and activity and moments of calm. For bloggers, this can mean seeing a dip in your page views and a marked slowdown in new followers. If you haven’t done anything obvious to cause…
How To Blog with Lita! – Collab
I: Hi guys! Welcome to March 2018. Are you having fun yet? Not to rub it in or anything but I’m having a blast! I’m desperately trying to survive the eternal winter called Montreal – Buddy has decided his strategy is going to be to learn how to use the toilet and never go out…
Style Over Substance
I care about my blog’s appearance. Possibly a bit too much. I have poured hours into going over all the available WordPress themes just to end up keeping the one I have every single time. I like it a lot and I don’t see it that often, but I have overcluttered it a touch and…
Dear Blogger Friend, We’re in This Together
Dear friend with a blog, Have you been getting the feeling that you are a little bit too invested in your blog. You fret and worry about it. You’ve set up all these imaginary goals and now you feel bad when you fail to reach them no matter how unrealistic they may have been. Do…
The Many Sides of the Monetization Coin
Right now, I’m involved in an ongoing Kaizen at work. Basically, my input is required to restructure our entire office procedures and set up, plus my usual responsibilities to my clients. This has been a time-consuming venture of debatable value, that has left me much less time than usual to write posts. Almost no time…
Stats I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours
I love stats. It’s already been properly established that I am essentially the personification of cool, so naturally statistical analysis and data mining are my jam. People, put your clothes back on. I understand it’s hard to control yourselves right now but you must try! I’ve seen a lot of you share your blog stats…
I’m a Little Happier
I have some good news and some not so good news. You may remember a few days ago when I shared my frustration at not seeing all your blogs in my reader app. Thank you so much to everyone who commented and tried to help. I really appreciate it. I finally decided to just contact…
I Drank and Watched Anime in 2017
I’m just going to be straight with you. This post isn’t about anything really. I don’t have anything in particular to say but I thought we could just chat for a bit. In fact, let me tell you this little story.. I got this blog started (as in I filled out WordPress’ little forms, got…
A Post By Any Other Name Would Get As Many Views?
Yeah…I’m not good at naming posts. I’ve never had a talent for it and I am so jealous of people who can come up with that perfect title off the tops of their heads like it was no big deal. It’s a very big deal! Unless someone is very familiar with your writing already and…
