Hello everyone, Today we’ve got a special treat! Not for you guys, for me… I’m not sure how many of you follow my Steins;Gate 0 reviews but if you’ve been around my blog for a while, you probably got the feeling that I don’t dislike the Steins;Gate franchise in general. I guess you could even…
Do you want to hear something really interesting? Apparently, Alzheimer’s doesn’t erode memories of music. The studies on the subject are still rather recent so the mechanisms behind it all remain mysterious. As you can imagine this finding has renewed interest in MEAMs or Music-Evoked Autobiographical Memories. The moments we associate to music stay anchored…
At some point, excitement hits a point of diminishing returns. Any good narrative needs to know when to take a little break and give the audience a chance to breathe. Or else, little by little, consequences start to loose their impact and you risk making viewers Jared and too exhausted to care.
This one has been a long time coming. Some of you may know that I hold a special place in my heart for anime tech. Apparently, I may be a bit of a nerd…who knew… But the wondrous worlds of anime are so full of incredible inventions that I had to find a way to…
I think I may finally have gotten that filler episode I’ve been clamoring for. Steins;Gate 0 took a deep breath this week and just sort of chilled. We didn’t get any major revelations or action sequences, instead the show took a little time to indulge in some silliness, some light-hearted humour and some dubious fan…
At this point in my life, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I’m John Snow… I know nothing. I’ve read a few reviews for Steins;Gate 0 that accuse it of being very poorly written drivel relying entirely on nostalgia. That may be true, after all, what do I know? All I can say…
I decided to just stop assuming things in Steins;Gate. What’s the point? I mean sure, episode 7’s ending brought up so many questions, memories, feelings! This time surely, they’ve overplayed their hand. If it gets resolved in the first scene as it usually does, that’s going to be just as cheap and hollow as the…
Great news you guys, I didn’t suffocate from holding my breath for a week…well I thought it was great news…
I have never been a big fan of New Year’s episodes. They all tend to be the same. With very few exceptions they are usually not very funny (Gabriel DropOut was hilarious) and surprisingly not all that touching (Gugure-San ended on a truly heartwarming holiday ep). They’re generally just an excuse to draw characters in…
I don’t use Twitter very much. It’s probably because I’m in the wrong timezone, It seems most people are active either when I’m sleeping or at work and by the time I get around to check, the interesting stuff is buried in a sea of adds and irrelevant retweets from people I don’t know. In…
Sigh… this show you guys! Thank you so much for sharing it with me….
After I mentioned it in my review for SteinsGate 0 episode 4, I just couldn’t get it out of my head, so here goes. To my friend Faris. I know we never met but in my defense, you don’t exist. I still miss you.
I’m down to the last episode of FMA Brotherhood but I just couldn’t watch it after this week’s Steins;Gate 0. There are only so many feels a girl can take…
Last week I told you guys I didn’t know if I would be posting weekly on Steins;Gate and I meant it entirely. But then CactusMatt told me that I would keep doing it in my comments and who am I to argue. I’ve never met Matt be we get along well. It’s one of those…
This post shouldn’t exist. On so many levels it should not have been possible. I think it’s fair to say that I quite like Stein’s;Gate as a franchise. For reasons explained in my VN post, I identify with Okabe more strongly than possibly any other protagonist. When he gets into high stress situations I can…
