Treasure Tropes : Red Oni, Blue Oni
I’m not sure when I started having this fascination with colours. It’s not like I wear any. But at some point, I started to really notice them in all things and particularly in cinema and anime. I do know that I’ve been fascinated with tropes since I was small. I would see archetypes come up...
Treasure Tropes
What is it about alliteration? it’s not like it’s rhyming or anything fun like that. Why do I enjoy it so? Treasure trope is a new series I’m hoping to actually keep up that where I will take a closer look at all my favourite anime tropes. Let me rephrase that, at all the anime...
Can Anime Character Tropes be Simultaneously Exploitative and Celebratory?

Is Binge Eating the New Nose Bleed
I don’t mean that literally. Although it would be hilarious to have a character immediately wolf down everything is sight whenever they find someone attractive! What I mean is, has it replaced the latter as the anime trope standard? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a good nose bleed gag. I remember the...
