This week’s Shadows House featured some truly horrific scenes. Like downright scary. Yet there’s something in the delivery and cnematic language that made more weird than frightening. It was all shown to us in such a matter of fact sort of way. There was no more ephasis on that scene than any of the other…
The first episode of To Your Eternity made a huge impression on me. Aside from one of the biggest cries I have had in a long time, it left me wistful and I found myself checking every couple of days if a new episode was out. Even though I knew full well that it aired…
I am so tired. Work has been insane lately and if I can get out under 11 hours I’m psyched! Also, I’ve been redoing one of my bathrooms so I live on a construction site which is never fun. Like right now I’m in my living room a few feet away from a toilet. That’s…
Just to be clear, these posts are always just my completely subjective and occasionally random picks. Not an actual value judgment. Wait, that’s not what I wanted to clear up. Oh yeah, when I talk about anime religions I’m not talking about Anime that feature religious themes or elements. And I’m not talking about a…
Our next monster girl from Interviews with Monster Girls that we will be taking a look at is Yuki the Yuki-Onna. As previously discussed, Yuki’s core body temperature probably runs somewhere between 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit. And this fact will be at the core of what we will be discussing today. So, if you haven’t figured…
I know, I know, you HATE the word problematic. Everyone does. I get it. It’s a word that’s been way overused and misused and is almost always followed by a rant. There’s not much to love there! And I think that because of that, we have a tendency to disregarding any point that uses the…
Titles: Flip Flappers Genre: Adventure, supernatural, Magical Girl, school Episodes: 13 Studio: Studio 3Hz It can be tough to make friends. Even when you’re in middle school, sometimes it’s not easy to find someone to really relate to. But it’s not like Cocona is all alone. She has her grandmother and her childhood friend Yayaka….
So welcome to my new feature! Every week, I plan to tell you guys about a webcomic I am enjoying so that maybe some of you will discover a story you like. For now, I plan to concentrate on webcomics that are posted by the author and as such completely legal to read for free…
Episode 2 of How Not To Summon a Demon Lord might be more appropriately described as ‘How Not To Put Together a Coherent Episode’. Irina and I discuss the episode and what worked and what missed the mark this week. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 2 — 100 Word Anime
Remember when I mentioned last week that my biggest challenge when reviewing Pretty Boy Detective Club was going to be keeping the screencap count down so that these posts don,t spiral out of control. Well, I was right! And it’s not just because there are all these pretty boys. A lot of the fun of…
I’m not seeing that many people talk about Shadows House. Am I the only one watching this series? If I am, everyone else is missing out! It’s been a great season so far. Ok so I’ve only watched like 1 episode of most shows but I’m enjoying everything. And Shadows House is currently near the…
We are back with the second episode of one of the more unusual offerings this season: Mars Red. I have a feeling this is the type of show that manages to not be divisive by showing all its cards. Anyone who wasn’t on board with the stilted rhythm and muted storytelling was going to drop…
I’ve been waiting for To Your Eternity for.. well forever! It was first announced something like 3 seasons ago. But then, you know, the world kinda ended, and then I guess there were other delays. In any case, the show kept getting pushed back and pushed back. Now you would think that this would be…
Lately, I’ve been picking pretty niche subjects for my top 5 lists. So it’s been a while since I’ve run into this particular problem. What problem you might ask. The problem of having way too many options to pick from. Anime is a huge pantheon! There are Gods all over the place. Big strong powerful…
That title is too fancy for me. It sounds like a research paper. This is not going to be anything close to a research paper. If you print it out I guess it could technically qualify as “paper”, that’s as close as we’re going to get. Some of my readers may know that I am…
