Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck.

The Problem With Best Anime Lists
Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck.

I Drank Good Drinks and Watched Good Anime in 2022
If those jerks steal this post as well, I’m going to be sad. It’s quite personal! Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck. But I figure I might as well…
This year’s Search Terms were… Unexpected

So I Played Collar x Malice and I Did Not Like It
I’m sorry guys, I know a lot of you LOVE this game. Full disclosure, I’ve only played one route so maybe I’ll end up loving this game as well, but so far, I just can’t get into it and there are a few glaring issues. Let me first say that I like otome. I like…
Venting Frustrations
If you follow a certain wonderful blogger called Lita then you may already be aware of this situation. As I write this, I have been dealing with two consecutive rounds of websites “borrowing” my work. And that’s just the ones I know about. The ones too lazy to copy-paste are even formatted so they leave…
I Made Takoyaki and You Should Too
Before I stopped eating meat, octopus was probably my favourite. But I gave it up before discovering the joys of Takoyaki so I thought that I would never find out for myself what those delicious-looking little pancake balls taste like. On paper, it sounded like the perfect dish for me but sadly, being both vegetarian…
I Accidentally Took Three Weeks Off Blogging and This Is What Happened
Hello everyone, I’m back. Some of you may not have known that I was gone at all. Good! That’s how it’s supposed to be. This is what happened:
Guest Post – How To Draw Naruto
Today’s post is actually written by Timothy Ross who is this awesome artist who teaches online courses on drawing. If you’re interested, you can see some of them right HERE. In this tutorial, we’re going to draw Naruto. Naruto is a popular manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. The series tells the story…
I Reread Sailor Moon and This Is What I Learned
Ok, I guess I should just confess right off the bat. That title is misleading. I had never actually read all of Sailor Moon when I was younger. I watched the anime up to the end of the Chibi USA/Dark Lady arc and that’s pretty much all I had read of the manga as well….
How to Create the Most Popular Anime Character Ever!
I’ve done it, I broke the code. I know exactly what you have to do to come up with a super popular anime character. I bet you want to know the secret as well. I can’t believe I’m giving this stuff away for free! I once wrote a post about the most popular characters in…
Even Superstitions are Scarier in Japan
Awww yeah! It’s that time of year again. The time when I post another silly “scarier in Japan” post! I actually really enjoy writing these. It’s tricky coming up with new ones by now but I think I hit the jackpot with superstitions. Japan has some really fun ones! If you are curious about the…
Haunted Houses in Japan
Today, let’s talk a bit about haunted houses in Japan. There are two types of haunted houses in Japan. The historical types where supposed murders or tragedies happened, and rumours spread. There are a lot of those in the US as well. Not that many in my neck of the woods. I think it’s because…
The spookiest celebration in Japan is O-Bon
This is kind of a silly title, I know. I couldn’t come up with anything good that explained this post. See, I know that Halloween is a fairly recent occurrence in Japan and they don’t have many traditions around it, so I wondered if there was anything typically Japanese that was similar to North American…
Finally Learning to Moderate My Comments
When I started this blog, I knew very little about blogging. Not just about being a blogger but about blogs in general. I had participated in some forums but when it came to blogs, I generally read the post and moved on. To be honest, it took me a while to notice that blogs even…
