I went through a lot of emotions watching this episode of Tsurune. I guess the guys did as well but my set of emotions was completely different. For the first half, I thought that they might be going back to a much more drama-focused series and I was a bit worried. But everything got solved…
Last season when Minato had to take a step back from Kyoudo, it was always this big drama. He does get banned from using bows a lot… I figured we would be for another really emotional run of Minato pinning for archery. But now, everyone else is treating it like it’s really no big deal…
Archery looks like fun, doesn’t it? Not necessarily competitions. That seems a bit too stressful for my tastes. Especially when your performance can let your entire team down. But just shooting at a target looks like tons of fun. I’ve done it a few times in my life and always enjoyed it. I can totally…
An odd thing happens when I watch Tsurune. I simultaneously think to myself, what a calm, quiet little show. It sure is breezy for a Sports anime but then before I know it, the closing credits are rolling over the image. Where did the time go? How did it fly by when almost nothing happened?…
I actually reviewed the first season of Tsurune a little over 4 years ago when it aired. I was, and am, a big fan of Sports anime and one about archery seemed particularly attractive to me in concept. I ended up liking the show quite a bit. I had forgotten just how beautiful it can…
It’s a good thing we already got the announcement of a second season and a movie. I would have opened this post with a mild rant about how they can’t just leave us in this spot. I mean this is the most significant progress we’ve seen for Operation Strix but it’s only the very tip…
Last week I told you about my particular Spy x Family Christmas connection. Well, it continues as we have just had the first real snow of the season (I know, it’s super late) and the world outside my window looks like a Christmas Card. As I turned on the TV to watch the latest episode…
Two years ago I started the first volume of Spy x Family. I remember during Christmas dinner 2020, I was sneaking glimpses at the pages. I had gotten completely embroiled in the world of the Forger Family and complicit in Operation Styx. At the time, I desperately wanted an anime adaptation. Here we are two…
First the Forgers, now the Phonys, do you think anyone is ever going to get intrigued by these family names? I was going to say that at least Forger seems like a real name but I decided to look it up first. I used LinkedIn and there are a ton of Forgers on there, it’s…
Oh me oh my. This is a whole different type of trouble now. We haven’t quite seen this type of conflict in Spy x Family before. Normally, I would say no one stands a chance against Yor but this…. it’s just not the kind of battle Yor is used to fighting. She’s not trained for…
So the issue with my gifs seems to have fixed itself. I’m quite happy about that. I like creating gifs for my post headers. I think it’s fun. I do wish I knew what had caused the issue in the first place though. I find that sometimes WordPress tinkers with things and they don’t warn…
The second cour of Spy Family is much more Slice of Life in structure, isn’t it? I guess I should have seen it coming, the manga is as well. We’re going to get back to the main plot soon though and there’s a long-form side adventure coming up that I’m very fond of. I guess…
I’m a little late today. I had a few things to do on Saturday and just got back home at lunchtime on Sunday. So Basically I just watched Spy x Family and I’m trying t get this post out as quickly as possible. I’m basically feeling a bit like Anya and Yuri right now but…
I’m finally back from vacation but now I’m sick. I’m soooo sick. It’s just a cold but it’s a yucky one. I’ve been battling it all week but it really got bad these last few days. I just hope I can get better tomorrow so that by Monday I’ll be ready with my Anya costume….
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…
