Lately I’ve been really digging freckles as a design trait in anime characters. Actually scratch that, freckles are adorable and I have always thought they looked amazing. It’s just that lately I have been noticing them more in anime characters and it always makes me happy when I see them. (For instance on the adorable…

Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep.13 – The Ballad of Tanaka The Stupid
I already knew that Haikyuu was a split cour. This means I knew that this season finale wouldn’t really bring much closure and was really more of a set up for the second part of the season this summer. They really didn’t have to try all that hard. Haikyuu To The Top has had a…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep.12 – A Murder of Crows, A Glaring of Cats and A Flock of Seaguls
I still think that Hoshiumi looks more like a little owl but it seems the show is associating him with a seagull. I’m not going to argue. For reasons I will most likely never been able to explain, I do think a seagull would probably be better at volleyball than an owl. I’m really putting…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep.11 – Fine Tuned
I’m not sure who reads my Haikyuu reviews. Those of you who do will find them pretty repetitive I bet. I just go OMG great episode I loved it every single week. I don’t want a bad episode, and considering there’s only one left…who stops a season after the first match of a tournament when…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep.10 – I Wasted My Title Last Week, Oh Well Let’s Just Call This Post “Calibration”
I know every anime fan that watches seasonally has been where I am at some point. Namely, they find themselves watching a season of anime that seems exceptional yet no one else is talking about it… Haikyuu!! To The Top is an amazing season of anime. It’s my favourite currently airing show and I feel…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep9 – The Manager
Man Haikyuu To The Top is good. I’ve been flirting with the idea for a while now but I’m just going to take a stand and announce it, this is my favourite season of Haikyuu!!. Or to put it into a bit more perspective, this is my favourite season of one of my favourite animes…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep8 – Strategy
Sports anime are really fairly simple in structure when it comes down to it. They’re pretty much all underdog young men coming of age stories with sports as a metaphor for personal growth. That’s it. And Haikyuu is no different. It tweaks the formula a bit by giving attention to such a large cast of…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep6 – Shoyo The Kingslayer
Haikyuu is on Netflix. Well the early seasons are. And because my Netflix opens up on the anime homepage and Haikyuu is currently the featured show, whenever I open up Netflix I get a scene from season 1. And I let it play every time. I get sucked into it. I’m a little disappointed when…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep6 – Home Team
I used the managers for my feature image. The ladies really haven’t been getting much screen time this season but I’m always happy to see them. So they get the top spot in my post. I have been enjoying watching Hinata and Kageyama grow so much that I didn’t realize how much I was missing…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep5 – Reunited
It’s a little early still but this may be my favourite season of Haikyuu. And I love Haikyuu. This says something. It’s understated and low on fanservice so it may not make a big splash on the general audience but it’s gone back to basics by gently layering very incisive character studies together to create…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep4 – The Coach
Of course! Of course, the week after I praise Haikyuu for the surprising (to me) and slightly unusual decision to focus the start of the season so tightly on Hinata and how that has shaped and curved the narrative of season for (for the better in my opinion) rendering it more personal and relatable, the…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep3 – Growth
OK, fingers crossed that this post won’t magically evaporate out of my scheduled posts. Or else I will be sad! I just rewrote my Somali review and a could of collabs and I’m getting a little tired. It’s a lot of work for a Saturday morning. I may just have redefined first world problems.
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep2 – The Ball Boy
One random tidbit about me and Haikyuu is that throughout the seasons, it’s possibly the show that most consistently has my favourite OPs and EDs. I guess me and Yuki Hayashi have similar tastes. Also, if you have a second, go read his wiki page (it’s the link I included), how he got into music…
Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep1 – A Fresh Start
This one is staying on this site! Starting next week, you will only see Haikyuu on Sundays as the other two series will be over on Karandi’s blog. I’m sorry, I’m not sure what she has in mind for the scheduling yet . On here I will be reviewing Somali on Saturdays and Haikyuu on…
My Top 5 Animes with Great Animation
I promised myself I would take some time to admire anime on technical merits and then promptly forgot all about it. It’s not that I don’t want to. I just started watching these really fun and endearing shows (Gurren Lagann and Cells at Work), that slowly develop characters by giving them benevolent but challenging foils…
