I’m still having a grand time watching Shadows Hose. It has been a lovely series and is fairing quite well in what has been a really good season of anime for me. Next season is looking pretty great too. I’ve already picked out my weekend review shows. Well I’m hesitating between a couple to be…
I really like zashiki-warashi. For one, I have an interest in yokai in general but I’m also a coward so a cute little Yokai that will play a few pranks then bring me good luck is going to rank really high in my book. I have also noticed that I tend to really like all…
What an ending! Not just in content, I’ll get to that, but in visual conception. The scene of Edward sitting at an off-white baby grand in the middle of a green garden with workers in the background was already great by itself. The snippet was fantastic. It had some wonderful colours and an absolutely bonkers…
In retrospect, this was probably my favourite arc of Pretty Boy Detective Club. At least so far. I’m having the inverse reaction that most people are having, as the show gets increasingly more abstract and really more like a piece of performative art rather than an actual story, I’m liking it more and more. I…
We are already past the halfway mark of a really good season of anime. I think Demon Lord is my least favourite and I don’t hate it. Everything else has been at minimum enjoyable. And Shadows House is pretty high on that list. I was honestly a bit sad when I found out last week…
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…
The actual title of this week’s episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is The Pretty Boy in the Attic. That’s a great title. It’s super silly and evocative. I would pick up a movie or book called The Pretty Boy in the Attic. But I also wonder if it’s a nod to Edogawa’s Watcher/Stalker/Stroller in…
Oh boy, oh man, oh my! Things are afoot, plots are thickening but we still don,t have any answers. I love a mystery, so tis works for me. And I feel like the presentation and execution of Shadows House leads me to beleive that the story isn’t just stumblng about blindly and this is all…
Titles: Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Genre: Comedy, drama, mystery, supernatural, romance, psychological, pretty colours Episodes: 12 Studio: Production Lerche Do you remember how we got obsessed with silly little things in high school? Everything was the most important thing ever. And we wanted things like our lives depended on it. It makes for some fantastic highs…
It was such a passionate shoutout that I had to beleive it was the main topic. You see now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the crux of the issue. After a whole 5 episodes, almost half of the season, I still cannot tell you with any degree of certainty what the main topic of Pretty…
I’m on sort of a reverse light novel titeling kick. What I mean is that I’m enjoying making my post titles as short as possible this season. So far both Sgadows House and To Your Eternity are the winners with single word titles from the start. Let’s see how long I can keep it up…
I think this episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club may be the one I found the most visually interesting. And if you have been following my posts you know that means a lot. The casino setting allowed to add a lot of lavish details. And of course, it also used the usual little visual oddities…
I’m going to war you right off the bat, I don’t have much to say about Shadows House this week. Not that the episode was bad I just somehow didn’t have anything to discuss. Also, I was pretty hungry when I decided to watch Shadows House and I ended up just writing a whole bunch…

This week’s Shadows House featured some truly horrific scenes. Like downright scary. Yet there’s something in the delivery and cnematic language that made more weird than frightening. It was all shown to us in such a matter of fact sort of way. There was no more ephasis on that scene than any of the other…
