Brown hair and brown eyes are sort of a very normal combo, aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, some of the most beautiful people in the world have brown hair and brown eyes. In fact, most of them do. But brown is the most common colour for both hair and eyes, so it isn’t that…
I’m Canadian. You know this because I tell you every chance I get. And as a Canadian, I feel compelled to point out every other Canadian out there. I don’t know if it’s something every nation has but we definitely do, big time. It’s not a genetic thing, if you move here you’ll see. Like…

Brought down by our own hubris, greed and/or ignorance. The end of days…
You know how once in a while an anime comes along that you just can’t quite gauge. You can easily imagine someone calling it a masterpiece or a piece of trash and both are just as justifiable. There are a few titles like that, where I seem to hear both extremes and I always find…
I don’t know about you but I am extremely jealous of the joyful festivals that seem to take place in so many animes.
