Possibly one of the greatest leaps in human evolution was the taming of fire. When men figured out how to use flames to their advantage, the world was their oyster and nothing could stand in their way. That is until fire stopped cooperating. No one knows why but at some point, the great cataclysm took…

Phantom of the Idol – Spooookily Wholesome
Niyodo is an idol, kinda. When you think Idol, you think of a handsome, energetic, and optimistic ball of sunshine that warms your days. Idols are synonymous with hard work and pleasant dreams. Niyodo is the other type, the type that doesn’t like people and hates working even more. Also, the type that has no…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 50 – The Best Laid Plans
First, let’s get the important stuff out of the way, Bugo Stray Dogs is in fact a split cour!!! YAY! At least in practice. They are calling it a new season but as it stands, Bungo Stray Dogs 5 will start airing in July 2023. That makes me very very happy. Because this is so…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 49 – A Mediocre Man
Oh man, oh man, oh man!!!! There’s only one episode left to this season of Bungo Stray Dogs but obviously way more than one episode’s worth of story. Right!?! And if they wait as long as they usually do between seasons, it’s going to be infuriating, isn’t it? Because things are just getting good! And…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 48 – A Closed Room
What, they’re just not going to tell us what happened to Yosano? Like that’s in any way o.k? I’m just supposed to sit here and let the story go on not knowing what happened? This is a rhetorical question, you don’t have to answer that. And despite all of that, this was a fun episode,…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 20- Dreams
You know what, I’m just going to lay it all out right here. My reaction to the season 2 finale of To Your Eternity was a simple one: F it, I liked it! And now you are going to find out why!
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 47 – A Good Day
I’m keeping my little Yosano avatar for this week as well. I know I’m repeating myself but Yosano rocks. She always did, she just rocks harder now! I really like her. This was another rough episode. There was a lot of action to distract us from the hopelessness of the situation but things are really…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 19- Victory
There’s a basic formula that’s been used in dramas since the dawn of time. It probably has a name but I just call it “darkest before the dawn”. That’s when the narrative really lays on the despair and angst super thick right before giving our heroes some type of glorious victory. Basically, it’s exactly what…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 46 – War
I told you right? I told you you would love Yosano even more once you saw. Is it just me? Am I the only one that finds this particular backstory just tremendous? Not only did I find it one of the more genuinely emotionally devastating tales but also it weaves in so well with the…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 18- Whaaa
Remember when I started doing episode reviews cause I figured they would be nice short posts I could just get out in a couple of minutes? No? Yeah, me neither…. Admittedly, I don’t pick series that are very easy to review in just a few words. So that’s on me. To Your Eternity has a…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 45 – Masterminds
You know, I really tend to prefer anime to manga. It’s supposedly not a popular opinion. People don’t usually share it on their blogs and stuff. It certainly sounds a bit lowbrow for some reason. But I can’t help it. All the extra elements that anime layers on really bring a story to life for…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 17- From Bad to Worse
We play a lot of war games. It’s a thing people have always done. So sometimes, it makes us think that war is a win/fail sort of affair. You just need to meet the conditions and trigger enough flags and there you go, you win. If time runs out, too bad, so sad. But that’s…
Kyousougiga Left Me Speechless
Genre : Comedy, drama, spiritual, slice of life, romance, rabbits, magical girl Episodes: 10 Studio: Toei Animation This one is going to be a little different. Maybe you can tell already because I usually reserve this part of my reviews for a series synopsis and instead I’m already editorializing. You see, I just know…
Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 44 – Releasing the Hounds
Oh man, things are picking up speed fast! Dogs Hunt Dogs was the official name of the episode and it’s perfect. It’s also what’s likely to define the season at this point, in my opinion. We’re about to have a whole lot of action and isn’t it great that Bones is a studio that can…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 16- Deathless
March is doing great… Things are certainly happening, aren’t they? So many things! We’ve hardly had time to catch our breath! I guess that’s one way to make the audience relate with Fushi! And yet for all that, he’s still not reunited with March. But things are getting closer. March is his mother after all,…
