I was wondering what to post about in my seasonal spot now that the season is over. When I happen to catch the special episode of Given, I figured it would be perfect. Well except for the fact that I thought it was a 6-minute mini-episode. Spoilers, it went by really fast for me. It’s…
Let me preface this post by saying it was super hard for me to find 5 anime I thought I would hate and still watched at all. I’m something of a gerbil-faced optimist when it comes to anime and I tend to maintain the mindset that if it qualifies as anime, I will probably find…
Okay, so that GIF is one that I made from the series and not from the movie but since it’s Haruki and Kaji, I figured it fits. And I really like it so I wanted an excuse to use it again! I have a special treat for you guys! Today I’m joined by not one,…
It’s the month of lurve! The month for both 3d and anime couples! And advertising! February is a rough month here. It’s dark, it’s super cold and we still have like 3 and a half months of winter. Yes, we have June winter. So what??? As such, let’s add a bit of light to the…
I’ve made no secret that romance isn’t my favourite genre. It’s not my favourite thing in real life either. My poor friends want to tell me all about their crushes and I’m just waiting until the part where we can debate the logistics of biomechanical mechas like in Evangelion. If you’re wondering, that part never…
You may think that Canada is the land of maple syrup and apologies but it’s not. Well it is, sorry. However, it’s also the land of colds! At the very least Quebec is. The constant humidity mixed with some of the fastest and most radical temperature variations year round means that if you go anywhere…
Oh no guys, it’s all coming to an end. It’s nigh, nigh I tell you! After this only one more episode of Given… One more Thursday night of coming home to sensitive boys with guitars to cheer me up and give me feels. One more week of looking forward to what happens next. One more…
Karandi and I don’t often agree on anime, so when we do, you know it’s special! Heck we even disagree on this week’s episode of Given. Not the big picture but the details vary. Want to see what I’m talking about, you can check out our review on 100 Word Anime. Given has solid but…
Most shows falter at some point. When you think back on the series as a whole, you remember it as one big story that you love or hate or are indifferent to. But when you review it episode by episode you can see the ups and downs. Find those weak spots.Did Karandi and I finally…
This season’s Given has allowed me to create some of my favourite gifs. It’s actually a lot more than a nifty gif source. In fact, Karandi and I are really getting into it.Who are we kidding? We’ve been into it for a while! And we talk about episode 7 over on 100 Word Anime. Maybe…
I wrote I post that I liked a lot then Karandi made it so much better! If you have a minute I would love to know your thoughts on it! I feel like a lot of viewers may be sleeping on Given. It’s a surprisingly good character-driven drama. I am enjoying a lot and…
For me, Given is well and truly on a roll. I have been living in fear of it getting painful or overly dramatic and it manages to be undeniably painful but in a pleasant way. That doesn’t make much sense, does it. I might explain it a little better in my episode review with Karandi….
That gif took my a while to get just right but I absolutely love it. I’m getting better at making gifs I think. It’s not what I would call a marketable skill or any type of skill, and yet it makes me happy! I don’t know about getting better at reviewing but thankfully Karandi is…
Guys, Karandi didn’t even realize that Kaji was a talented violinist. I’m pretty sure I deserve him more that she does now. Have no clue what I’m talking about? Then you should absolutely read this!!!! That’s a link to my review of Given episode 4 with Karandi. I wanted to be cute but then I…
I’ll just say it, I’m digging Given right now. I told Karandi why. I tried to at least. She also gave her thoughts on the subject which is why you should really go read our discussion post HERE. But before you do that, how about you jog your memory of the episode by looking at…
