New Year, New Ani”me”
It’s a strange thing to make your hobby or interest a “New Year’s Resolution” and, as weird as it is to do so, I think it’s as equally weird to have a New Year’s resolution. You should always try to improve yourself, right? The New Year doesn’t mean anything because you’re just as likely to…

A Year Without an Anime Convention
Firstly, for all three of you regular readers who I dearly appreciate, I’m sorry for my absence. I assure you that it will happen again but probably not due to the same circumstances that this brief respite occurred from. Christmas happened and I just could not manifest any energy to sit at my computer and…

I Love The Hunter Exam Arc in Hunter x Hunter So Much That It Burns Me Out
I recently started Hunter x Hunter for technically the fourth time since I’ve been on this Earth. The first occurrence was shortly after it was airing due to having a friendly recommendation, the second instance was starting the old 90s series in an insufferable attempt to be different, the third time was starting the manga…

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Is Shonen Anime By The Numbers Yet I’m Here For It
I’m not a big battle shonen anime fan. It’s not for a lack of trying as I try one after the other to manifest some sort of hook into me. it’s never really been a genre that resonated with me in a meaningful way because there are just a plethora of tropes that just cause…

It’s Okay to Take a Break from Anime
As you may or may not know, I’ve hosted some form of anime podcast for the last five years of my life. Be it the one I started with my friend Audrey, Otaku Melancholy, or the one that I ended up becoming a host recently, the Anime Brothers Podcast, I’ve had anime be a regular…

Anime Review! Uzumaki
Uzumaki just seemed, quite frankly, unadaptable. Other attempts to convert Junji Ito’s skin crawling pieces of manga horror into successful anime adaptations blew up in spectacular fashion. For example, Gyo’s anime adaptation is like watching the obligatory anime cutscene from a PS2 era game with its crappy shark usage. The only thing scary about the…

Here’s A Redundant Question: What Even is a Weeb?
Get ready for some overindulgent rambling in this blog post, boys and girls and everything else, because that’s what I’m on about today. For those of you who may not know (like all two of you who didn’t come from my incessant plugging on said show), I host a podcast called the Anime Brothers where…
