OK, full disclosure. I got the idea for a list of anime characters who are always broke a while ago and just wrote it down in my drafts as a post to eventually get to without thinking it through too much. When I actually got around to writing it though, I realized there are soooo…
Lately, I’ve been picking pretty niche subjects for my top 5 lists. So it’s been a while since I’ve run into this particular problem. What problem you might ask. The problem of having way too many options to pick from. Anime is a huge pantheon! There are Gods all over the place. Big strong powerful…
I don’t know about you but I am extremely jealous of the joyful festivals that seem to take place in so many animes.

You know what I’d like more of? Time! Isn’t that the one thing there truly is never enough of. Unfortunately, try to stockpile it or add to it and BAM – you unravel the fabric of the universe. The universe is soooo delicate. What a pain! There is a workaround mind you. See, if we…

Those of you who are regulars on this blog… Oh my… There are people who regularly read my posts… that’s still a little though to wrap my mind around. Sorry I’m back! As I was saying, those of you who’ve read a few of my posts may remember that I have an odd interest in…
Have you watched Noragami? You should… It’s good! It’s also pretty complex. It sneaks in a lot of rather heavy themes under the guise of an action anime with some Japanese mythology for flavour. You could almost be fooled into thinking this one was just about running around and looking cool with swords. I wouldn’t…
Genre: Action, supernatural, drama, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: Bones People think that being a God is all fun and games. You know, just because you happen to be an all powerful mystical being, loved and admired by countless people, doesn’t mean you don’t have your own problems. For instance, you could have loved ones…
Genre: Supernatural, action, drama, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: Bones It’s hard to be god. Or more precisely, to be A god. Yato might have fallen on some hard times, largely forgotten by all and abandoned even by his own regalia, he scrapes by best he can without even a single shrine to his name but a…
