We are now at re:Zero episode 48, only two more episodes to go in this season and things are wrapping up. We can pretty much see where we are heading now and start to make up our minds. Tell me Crow, what do you think of the direction the season is taking? All of the…
I’m going to say something that’s probably unpopular at the moment. Not only that but I’m about to spoil this here post for you guys. I liked this episode of The Promised Neverland. It got a bit too heavy-handed for me towards the end there but the very last scene was sweet. And there were…
I love it when Otherside Picnic makes things easy for me and just straight up tells me what Urban Legend they are referencing. Man was I excited!and then – nothing. A google search for Sannuki Kano gave me a bunch of reviews about this episode, trying to narrow it down by adding urban legend was…
I’m actually a little bummed that we’re at the final battle already. There are still 4 episodes left to go so it’s not that bad, but this season of Dr. Stone really flew by. I’m seriously thinking of just buying the manga. I should actually just read the digital version. I already subscribe to Shonen…
So I finished xxxHOLiC, the manga last week and guys, do yourselves a favour and read xxxHOLiC. It’s such a lovely musing on the subtle nature of friendship and family. I really liked it. Right now, I’m reading Noragami. I’m finally into material that was not covered by the anime and it’s the best so…
This was confusing. First, we get a recap episode sort of out of nowhere and then we have to wait an extra day for the next episode. The Promised Neverland is playing games with my timeline. Also, tonight was a rough anime night. FUNimation was down for a while there so I couldn’t even watch…
Oh boy, it’s been a looooong day. I couldn’t wait to get it over with and watch some anime and chat with a friend. It’s really what I needed tonight. But I do have this huge sense of accomplishment for unknown reasons! How are you K? Good Monday. Are you back at work/school/leading the cult/the…
So usually I have a really tough time finding a title for these review posts. I either default to themed titles or just find one line in the episode to use. That’s actually my preference but it rarely works out. When there is such a significant moment in the episode, most of the time it’s…
It’s Wednesday! Or as I like to call it, almost Friday. I’m forward looking like that. It’s a pretty big work week this week but things are going well. Things seem to be slowly settling and that’s a welcomed respite. How about you Crow? How be things for you? You know how you have an…
I’m a bit of an inconsistent reviewer. I’ve also been open about my struggle with post titles. Some series that I have reviewed episodically, I’ve stuck to naming convention, and others not. It’s quite random. And I have no clue whether the readers care about such things or not. What bout you Crow, do you…
There’s a Clive Barker book that starts: The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive. I’ve always loved that as an opening line for a novel. The book is called The Thief of Always by the way. I think it’s very underrated. It’s quite different from what Barker usually writes so maybe that’s…
In this week’s The Promised Neverland, the kids got a chance to settle in their new home for the time being. Slowly Emma and Ray are teaching the younger ones survival skills and for a while there, things were looking pretty great. Good enough for the children to be children once again. Playing around in…
I almost named this post “Conversations with Dead People”. I think that Buffy episode influenced me too much. I’ve already named two separate episode reviews for different shows that exact title, and we’ve discussed the Buffy episode together in the past as well. But it just fits so well for so many things. Also, I…
So far it’s been a pretty good week for me. I finally got over whatever has been ailing me. 6 months of shortness of breath and chest pains was really starting to wear me out but my breathing has been pretty much back to normal for almost a week. Fingers crossed that it stays that…
I don’t think I’ve ever had a show so frequently end episodes with me staring slack-jawed at my screen, quietly whispering expletives to myself, as The Promised Neverland. I may need to check my math on it, but I’m pretty sure that’s right. At the very least, it’s in the top 5! Yeah, for those…
