The Promised Neverland Nitpicking – Does Episode 12 Work?
Oh noes! It’s season’s end and I suddenly find myself without a Sunday episode post for you guys. Luckily, The Promise Neverland is the gift that keeps on giving. So I get to milk this amazing anime for content at least one more time! Probably a dozen more times n the future, at least!
Top 5 Reasons I Relate to Anime
As much as I am loath to admit it, anime isn’t an objectively superior form of entertainment. It just happens to be MY entertainment of choice (along with video games) and pretty much the only thing I watch unless somebody else makes me watch live action. There have been many tags and general essay posts...
The Cold Hard Truth About SEO

What Types of Blog are you Most Likely to Pay For?
You know, I often let you guys know I am not monetizing this blog even though no one’s asked. But with the amount of posts I write on the subject, it sure seems like I want to. I don’t. At least not yet. But I do see people talk about the subject a lot...
Death of the Author – Is Anime Art in a Vacuum?
Generally speaking I’m a proponent of approaching anime as a self-contained product. In practice that means I try to disregard the source material, reputation and pedigree of a show and simply enjoy it on its own merits. Occasionally this can get tricky but it’s my preferred method. I expounded a bit on it in this...
Episodic Watching and the Difficulties of Writing Serialized Fiction
Man, that is an unusually fancy title for me! I feel a little intimidated by my own post now… As some of you may know, last season I was watching Tsurune and the show took a week off around the end of the season as it had started late. The 2-week break between episodes changed...
