Titles: Yozakura Shijuusou, Quartet of Cherry Blossoms in the Night Genre: Action, supernatural, urban fantasy, yokai Episodes: 12 Studio: Nomad There will come a time when we put aside our differences and humans will co-exist peacefully with demons. Or a least, that’s the dream. And to make that dream come true, Hime, an ancient dragon…
know it’s only August but I started looking into what my blog’s Halloween lineup should be like this year. It does take a while to watch a bunch of spooky anime and unlike last year, I don’t have anything at all lined up. Shadows House would have been a perfect Halloween review don’t you think?…
This might be the toughest post to put together yet. I’m really not sure how I’m going to go about it… Tell me, does this count as a beach episode? It seems more like the beginning of a beach arc. In the same way, I’m always a little cautious when production suddenly adds an adorable…
Lately, I found myself really enjoying a number of manga that are not exactly well rated in aggregators. Hence the underrated statement in my title. I actually talked about Mama Akuma in a separate list post (I’m not sure if it will be published before this but if it is, I’ll try to remember to…
As I write this It’s festival time again in Montreal. For me, that means my yearly pilgrimage to Fantasia for films and friends. The festival may have traded the intoxicating (and likely intoxicated) crowds and atmosphere for a more professional event where movies don’t start n hour late… I’m not sure which I like best……
This week we had Shadows in shadows. And you might think that’s a bit of a shortsighted visual choice. It’s bound to make things very hard to see. But I thought it really worked. You’ll see it in my screencaps. Sure it did make it though to see the details of the scene but that’s…
I’ve decided to take my weekly The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2 posts as a bit of a challenge. Basically, I’m going to try very hard to write entire posts about each episode. Not necessarily long ones but I want to talk about a least one thing per post. I figure actual writers have to…
Every week, I like the Shadows House OP more and more. The song is called Shall We Dance and it’s by this lovely young artist named ReoNa. She has a great voice. I have discovered a lot of Japanese artists I love to this day through anime OPs and EDs. I like that there’s some…
This post is what it says on the tin. Here we are three episodes into the second season of The Devil is a Part-Timer and I find myself almost completely neutral. I don’t hate it, I don’t love it, it’s just a show that’s there. And now I realize that it’s going to be very…
Bungo Stray Dogs Beast is another manga I wasn’t planning to review on this site. Not that I have anything against BSD but I figured it’s such a popular franchise that most of you have heard plenty about it already. There’s no need for me to add anything. There are a whole bunch of light…
Titles: Otome Yokai Zakuro, Girl Demon Zakuro Genre: Action, historical, supernatural, yokai, romance, magical girl Episodes: 13 Studio: J.C. Staff Kei Agemaki is the perfect guy. He’s kind and generous and ever so handsome. Despite his resplendent golden hair, he’s a humble Japanese boy who respects his ancestors and loves his country. And he likes…
Sadly there was no nice Maryrose dancing scene for me to make a gif out of this week. But I guess Emilico and the vacuum were almost like dancing. My autocorrect really hates the name Emilico. It auto changes it to Emilio every single time. I covered the first season, it should be used to…
Don’t blame me for that title, they used it in the episode! You can’t expect me not t jump on that. I don’t really remember 3 Men and a Baby but I think I liked it when I watched it. I was just a little kid mind you so I’m not going to stand by…
Titles: Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari Genre: Comedy, drama, slice of life, supernatural, yokai, food, found family, iyashikei Episodes: 12 Studio: LIDENFILMS Souta grew up in a small town. Kanata isn’t a bad place. There’s plenty of fishing and people are pretty nice. But small towns can get sniffling. And after his mother died,…
I wonder if I can get a different gif of Maryrose dancing every week this season. I doubt it. AniList doesn’t even have her s a supporting character so I figure she’s probably not going to show up all that much. It’s a fun theme for now. I’ll keep it going for as long as…
