Nine Years Later And I Still Hate Natsuki Subaru
Gosh I need to update my blog more. I didn’t even do my monthly “here’s what I’ve been watching” for two months. Absolutely slacking. You can’t be a better blog writer by saying you need to write a blog and then not doing it. I recently picked back up Re:Zero after having it on hold…

My August Anime Recap: Nightlife Vampires, Happy Octopus Aliens, and Girls in Bands Fighting (and Crying).
Have I mentioned how thick summer’s seasonal anime lineup is? I’ve barely considered watching anything but what I’m enforced to by my podcast or just whatever randomly takes hold of my mind (like Gintama). I only have three shows to talk about but they’re all, honestly, pretty alright. The funniest thing that this blog post…

My July Anime Recap: Mecha Horses in Jungle Waters
It’s the end of the month so I’m reviewing and discussing all the anime I watched in the second part of July! The first blog post was fun to type plus it didn’t go on FOREVER so I definitely think I’ll keep to this kind of format for my own enjoyment and possibly yours if…

My Mid-July Anime Recap: The Last of the Spring Seasonals (and a Movie)
After reflecting and rereading my June Anime Recap, I have come up with a solution for the sake of a more readable blog post: split it into two! That way I can enjoy more time typing up what has made me happy about the anime I’ve seen each month and I’m also not exhausting you…

Horse Girls are Taking Over My Life
Despite the fact that I am functionally literate and not attracted to my cousins, I spent the better part of my adolescence growing up in the backwoods of the Alabama countryside with a VERY small farm that my family owned. I mean, this thing was pitifully small and extremely ramshackle but we did, for reasons…

My May Anime Recap: May-saaki Yuasa and The Rest of the Ani-May
Hi there! It’s been a minute since I’ve screamed into the void of this blog and there’s been reasons for that! I’ve been extraordinarily stressed between work, family strife, and the general unflinching despair instilled upon me by the world! Regardless, let’s discuss the anime I completed this month and revel in the portmanteau joy…

Seasonal Samplings – To Be Hero X
First and foremost, I’ve never been partial to the notion that 3D animation or the strict and exclusive usage of it (like Beastars or Hoseki no Kuni) lessens an anime or strips it of its status as anime. Animation and their techniques evolve over time. It’s like certain parties who proclaim that artists who use…

Seasonal Samplings – Yaiba: Samurai Legend
Long before Gosho Aoyama pumped out chapters of Case Closed/Detective Conan like my heart pumps caffeinated blood, Aoyama-sensei dabbled in a few other manga. One of said manga was a twenty four volume series known as Yaiba which got an anime adaptation in ’93 courtesy of Pastel. I don’t know about its Japanese success as…

My April Anime Recap: The Dangers in My Watchlist
I’m going to be frank with you. If we’re being technical (and by god are we technical) then I only finished two anime this entire month but I started a whole bunch just to not finish them. That said, I finished two anime on May 1st so they’re getting added to April for the sake…

Where Does Anime Go When I’m Not Around?
So as you may have discerned from my overwhelming lack of posts, I’ve not been watching anime as regularly in the past month. I don’t know why but I’ve just not been able to sit down and just enjoy an anime. There’s always something in the back of my mind like “you could be using…
