I Did a Poll on English Manga Publishers and This is What I found Out
This post is going to give you an idea of just how much in advance I write my posts. If I was to post once a week instead of once a day, I would have the next year and a half covered. That might be relaxing… should I do that? Should I switch to a…
Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Anime Becoming Mainstream
I’m not sure this post is going to reach the intended audience. I think most of my readers either don’t care if anime is mainstream or not or are happy if it is. Still, I have been reading a lot of comments, and even some think pieces about how anime is becoming too mainstream and…
Why (and how) I Post Every Day
I’m sure a lot of you already know what I’m going to say in this post. After all, this is a republishing of an old post! So I ran out of inspiration, because I post more or less daily, and decided to call on Lita for help since she did mention once that she pretty…
I’m noticing a new trend in anime ladies, and I like it!
I finished watching Backflip!! not that long ago. It’s June right now. I liked it. Maybe my review for the show is out already! There is one aspect of the show I didn’t talk about it much in that review. It’s not a very important part of the show. It’s about Asawo Kurikoma.

When Hobbies Use To Be Hobbies
In case you didn’t know, I consider this blog a hobby. I do it for fun. Just for fun. I don’t ever plan to have a carrier in anything remotely related and I didn’t study in a connected field. When I created the blog the possibility of making any sort of profit from it never…
Ranty rant rant (about buying manga)
Before I start here I think it’s only fair to let you all know what you’re in for. So get ready for a deluge of disclaimers and trigger warnings, I guess. I’m about to get really whiny about problems that are so first-world they don’t actually qualify as problems anymore. Most of you probably have…
The History of the Term Fujoshi – A Reclamation Victory
A little while ago, I wrote an odd little post that was exploring the relationship between Moe and Fujoshi. If you are interested, you can read it HERE. And what I found out through the comments is that a lot of my readers weren’t all that familiar with the term Fujoshi so I thought I…
Learning Japanese : But Not Really!
This is going to be a tough post to explain… Like many anime enthusiasts and Japanophiles, I have at some point entertained the idea of learning Japanese…but not really. What I mean is that I know a few languages already and I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to not only learn…
Why Aren’t Anime Movies Musicals?
This is going to be a very weird post. Very very weird post. The other day I was singing We Don’t Talk About Bruno, just like everyone else was in February/March of this year. And I thought to myself wow Encanto has some really good songs. And this made me tumble down a wishing well…
Localization and the search for the “authentic” anime experience
I was reading this paper the other day: Anime Fansubs: Translation and Media Engagement as Ludic Practice (PDF) Anime Fansubs: Translation and Media Engagement as Ludic Practice – Academia.eduThe democratization of new media technologies, particularly the software tools though which “content” can be manipulated, has invited a seemingly vast array of modes through which people…
How One Piece Remains Trending
Hi, my name is Ulysses and I’m very new to writing articles, but I enjoy sharing anime opinions with other people. I usually like to go in-depth about anime characters, their mental and physical struggles, world building, and power systems. In this blog, I’ll be talking about…
The Fun and Lonely Life of an Outsider Fan
Where you intrigued by that title? Or did you think it was gibberish and are only reading this because you accidentally clicked ‘cause it was just under the post you were actually interested in….and you’re gone. For those brave souls that persevered and are still here, let me at least explain what I mean by…
Treasure Tropes : Kichiku
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a treasure tropes post. These are posts in which I pick an anime or manga trope to examine. Today, I decided to look at the Kichiku. You may not have heard the term Kichiku before, but I bet you know the trope. The expression is meant to…
