Well, this was quite the little ride. Another horror manga too. Maybe I should post about Versailles of the dead during my countdown to Halloween. I already have all my posts written up for October but I could squeeze one more. This is going to be quite the countdown! Maybe it’s just me but I…
Titles: APPARE-RANMAN! Genre: Action, adventure, comedy, drama, historical, western Episodes: 13 Studio: P.A. Works No one really understands brilliance except the brilliant. Take Appare for example. The man is clearly a genius. He has an agile mind and a bright creative spark. e thinks logically and doesn’t bother with things that superfluous. Why would anyone?…
Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all doing great! K, I hope you’re good as well! You know, for a second there I thought this was the last episode and they were just going to finish it like that. And I didn’t hate it. I’m glad we’re going to see the resolution but I think it…
I have been meaning to read The Case Study of Vanitas for years now and with the anime just around the corner, I figured I better get a jump on it and let you guys know what I think before the show starts. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to…
Hello all, hi Karandi. I read on Twitter that you were a little too sick to post over the weekend, I hope you’re doing better. Your health is the most important. Also hope it didn’t make all the anime you watched seem more sucky because you were feeling under the weather. You were already pretty…
Welcome back to our Mars Red review. I have to admit, it took me a minute to get my bearings on this episode but once I was all caught up, it worked out well. But before we jump into it, how are you this week Karandi? Busy as usual but otherwise fine. All things considered…
This was the first post I ever wrote for OWLS. For those of you not familiar, that was a blogger group I was a part of. In any case, I have always really liked this post but not many people got a chance to see it. In light of the tragic death of Kentaro Miura…
I’m sort of in survival mode right now which is fitting with a show like Mars Red. I know everyone is quite busy at this time of year but it seems like everything is just happening at once. Can’t wait until fall! How about you, Karandi? Things have sort of been more settled for me…
You know how I kept saying that Mars Red is theatrical. Well, I did for like the two first episodes. I looked it up and it’s supposed to be theatrical. Although there is a manga, Mars Red is actually based on a stage reading play written by Bun-O Fujisawa. This explains so much about the…
We are back with the second episode of one of the more unusual offerings this season: Mars Red. I have a feeling this is the type of show that manages to not be divisive by showing all its cards. Anyone who wasn’t on board with the stilted rhythm and muted storytelling was going to drop…
Mars Red had one of the more unusual anime premiers I’ve seen in recent years. In some ways it reminded me of Gankutsuou. Please see our full review over on 100 Word Anime. The Spring 2021 anime season is kicking off and that means Irina and I are getting back together for some episode reviews….
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
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…
