I fail at blogging and I overshot my Halloween posts… But I really liked this one so you guys get a bonus Countdown to Halloween post! Get ready to learn nothing about what Horror Anime can teach us about ourselves! There’s been a long-running belief that horror fiction is a way to explore and ultimately…

Even Urban Legends are Scarier in Japan 2!
Every year I do an Even X is Scarier in Japan post during October: Even Urban Legends are Scarier in Japan Even Creepypastas Are Scarier in Japan Even Monsters are Scarier in Japan These are fun little posts in which I explore creepy Japanese fiction in all forms and share it with you. Because it’s…
We Fear What We Know? Do Our Regional Fears Influence Anime?
I was going to write this as part of my Halloween post series. The idea was simple enough, see if there is a significant difference between common fears based on location and then try to make a correlation with what we see in anime. However, as I started to research the post, it sort of…
Angels of Death ep 16 – Dafuq
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Full disclosure, it’s Friday evening. 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…
Angels of Death ep 15 – Stairway to Heaven
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…
Angels of Death ep 14 – “For Someone So Insane, You’re Way Too Serious”
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…
Angels of Death ep 13 – Rachel’s Happy Family
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff The show is back…. Yay! I mean the episode was…we’ll get into that in just a bit…but I had gotten into the show and when it was announced that the last 4 episodes were going to be on Amazon prime, I got a little worried. Thankfully,…
Top 5 Spooky Boys in Anime
Hi everyone, This is a collab post! I’m gonna start it off but if you want to see the top spots (and obviously you do!) don’t forget to head on over to Otaku Essays and Analyses Luminous Mongoose: You know, monster girls get a lot of traction, but what about monster guys? While I think the…
Angels of Death ep 12 – The One Where Zack Learns to Read
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…
Angels of Death ep 11 – Stay of Execution
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…
Angels of Death ep 10 – Back in Wonderland
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I’ve been on a business trip for most of the week. This means no Buddy, no anime and very little sleep. For those of you who aren’t forced to go on those and think they sound like fun, let me tell you right now, they are…
Angels of Death ep 9 – Gods and Monsters
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Guys, I just want Zack to be O.K. again. I’m tired of him being all wounded and slow and bleedy. I want him to be fine and full of energy. I want him to get annoyed and amused for reasons only he understands. He’s already bled out…
Angels of Death ep 8 – Losing the Plot
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Once again I get the sinking feeling that I’m doing Angels of Death a great disservice by attempting an episode by episode review. By now, it seems pretty clear that this is the type of story that has to be considered as a whole to be…
Angels of Death ep 7 – Smoke & Mirrors
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I literally just finished this weeks episode. I got home form work, watched Harukana then Angels of Death. I’m not sure if this insta-reviewing is the way to go. Honestly, I’m not even entirely sure what to make of today’s episode yet. (Matt expressed a similar…
Angels of Death ep 6 – BANG!
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I don’t know if my standards are dropping or I just feel protective of this show now that everybody has dropped it, but I liked this episode as well. Angels of Death is on an upswing if you ask me. Am I just trolling all you…
