Hello friends! Let’s talk about pretty anime boys. Even though I have a clear anime focus on this blog, I’ve made no secret of my appreciation for visual novels, blotomes(TM) and otomes. I have attempted review some with mixed results… When I first discovered the rich world of what is essentially interactive novels, it was…

Genre: Existential horror, supernatural, artsy Length: Studio: ufotable Sometimes it’s hard to wrap your head around just being you. What does that even mean, anyway?

I started a new visual novel last night and I just can not wait to finish this post so I can slip on my soft onsie, pour myself a glass of wine, and dive right back into it. That shouldn’t affect…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I have no clue what’s going on here. Not with the episode I mean, with me. Also with the episode… This was a gibberish filled non episode brimming with melodrama. You know, everything I don’t like. Except for gibberish, in the right circumstances it can be…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I have a feeling most people jumped ship on this anime at episode 12. The hiatus really did make it look like it wasn’t going to come back. I get it, but this is why you should read my review! How else are you going to…

Before you can even notice, it’s a little…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Well well well…. Isn’t this fun. Angels of Death just managed to disprove most of my assumptions yet leave my base theory intact. I gotta say, we’re on something of a roll here. The last few episodes have been pleasantly ambiguous. Now that’s an expression I…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff This is frustrating. Here we are, episode 11 and I still can’t tell you whether this show is good or bad. My original post title was going to be, “Down to the Wire” since I assumed this was a 12 or 13 episode season but I…
