Did you guys know that I’m a sucker for friendship pr0n? ‘Cause I am! a huge one! I’m a bros before… that word that rhymes with bros… and sisters before misters sorta girl! That makes me a prime candidate for shonen trash… For these not too familiar with the term, trash refers to me in…
Guys, I ate too much chocolate. As in I haven’t really eaten anything other than chocolate today and now my tummy hurts…for some reason… Why am I like this? For those of you new here, I am in fact a legally functioning adult. A concept that is as terrifying to me as it is to…
You know if the God of Highschool is going to keep throwing new characters at me and expect me to care about them, they are going to have to slow down a touch and let us get to know each other a bit. You know, share some precious moments. Smell roses, talk about our feelings…
For those of you who don’t know, Quebec has a pretty deep and slightly sorted history with the catholic church. As such, a lot of the regional swear words are directly related to it. Well, the French ones. Our religious and political history is divided along language lines which is pretty interesting. So tabernacle is…
Never give up! Never surrender!!! If you’ve watched any amount of shonen anime (or really any popular action based media aimed at a younger audience) it’s a sentiment you must be very familiar with. Heck, determination might be the one universal trait of any action hero worthy of the name. That and abject coolness. It’s…
I could be wrong but now that we’re at the halfway point, it seems as if we may finally be getting to the meat of the story for The God of Highschool. I may have missed this but why is the tournament called The God of Highschool. I get the god part and we got ann…
I had to look up exactly what backdraft meant in the context of a fire to be certain it fit the episode. The actual definition is: a phenomenon in which a fire that has consumed all available oxygen suddenly explodes when more oxygen is made available, typically because a door or window has been opened….
So The God of Highschool is a bit all over the place, isn’t it? I mean tonally but also in pacing. I read the corresponding chapters of the manhwa just out of curiosity and technically the tonal and pacing shifts are present in the source (although not identical) but it just works much better in…
I don’t know how it’s been were you guys are but in my neck of the woods we’ve been having thunderstorms all week. Calm discreet little thunderstorms, nothing to get to worked up about. It’s actually been rather pleasant and everything us all lush and green now. I wasn’t actually planning to show off, it…
Spoilers.. like right in this intro there will be spoilers. In order for me to get to the spoiler I’m going to spoil some things so you were warned. What can I say, I like to spoil my readers… ok… bad joke… Admittedly the wedding didn’t happen (see I spoiled not only that the wedding…
This weeks episode was quite reminiscent of a zombie series wasn’t t. In many ways, Fire Force does take on a lot of the classic zombie tropes with only a bit of tweaking. Except for all those deep religious undertones. Those are vampire tropes! It’s actually kind of cool how a modern action anime manages…
Look I know there where no apples but it’s just that a banana a day doesn’t have the same ring to it… it has en entirely different ring… You know what, that’s enough fruit talk for one day! I’ve been too busy to get on social media much this week so I have no clue…
You know what they say about anime girls with pink hair, don’t you?… Wait… Fire Force already has an anime girl with pink hair… It already has 2! What is this! It’s one pink haired girl per show! Everyone knows that. Have these people never seen an anime before?
Let’s just get this right out of the way. I am not the intended audience for The God of Highschool. And that’s all right. While I was watching this week’s episode, I thought to myself, my friend’s son would love this. And he’s a cool kid! But obviously, I can only give you my thoughts…
I know a few people that dropped Fire Force in season 1 dues to some of the more controversial aspects and I wonder if I should tell them to give season 2 a try. I mean it still has some raunchy humour and all but it seems to have really done a huge tonal shift…
