I’m not sure what I was expecting for the finale of Woodpecker Detective’s Office. It’s been a frustrating show, way too inconsistent to properly gauge. Sure I was hoping it would be a good last episode but I wasn’t holding my breath or anything. You can see some of th stitches and the scars from...

Weirdly, there’s gonna be spoilers for the first season of Psycho Pass… This is going to be another weird review, isn’t it… I’m gonna tell you a secret. Don’t get too excited or anything, it’s not a very good secret. Still it’s a bit embarrassing. I never watched all of Psycho Pass season 1. I talk...

When I was a kid my favourite poet was Jean Arthur Rimbaud. I still like him a lot. There’s something about French poetry that appeals to me in an ineffable way. It’s a bit savage and the way the language bends and contorts to create so many homophones allows on to play with the rhythm...

You know there are a lot of things I like about Woodpecker Detective’s Agency. In fact, I liked last week’s episode quite a lot. But I have come to realize, or much more accurately, I have spontaneously decided, that there are two major issues holding this show back. I’m going to try to explain them...

I don’t know how many of you even see my header images. And I do know this series isn’t exactly very popular so I wouldn’t be surprised if n one at all sees them. And even though I already know the answer to the next question, I’m still gonna ask. Have you noticed that I...

Guys I’m worried. I didn’t think I would be. I mean it’s not lie there are any surprises here and the Woodpecker Detective’s Office is hardly my favourite series. It’s not even my favourite of the season. It’s like in 3rd place. And I’m only watching 3 shows! And yet here I am, worried and...

I’m on a post naming roll with this show! Ladies and gentlemen for today’s post I will be testing the capabilities of Google docs dictation functionalities while I put together some waffles fresh fruit and very yummy whipped cream for brunch. It looks absolutely fabulous I wish you were here to share it with me....

That title is really very tenuously related to the episode. I mean themes of love and longing and young men’s fancies and all but really it’s very different story in a completely different style and setting. I’m still using it as a title. I’ve always quite liked it and if I can encourage one person...

I like ghost stories. I like the a lot. But being a total coward, I prefer ghost stories where it turns out the ghost wasn’t really a ghost at all. That way I don’t have to sleep with the lights on for the nxt week. I still do of course. Better safe than sorry. ust...

Oh this show is going to be frustrating… I can just feel it. Not because it’s bad. In fact I don’t think it is at all. There are moments of impressive wit and quite a bit of substance under the pulp plots but it’s…messy? And it just refuses to be one thing. You can’t settle...
