I’ll Just Never Return to Some Anime
As part of my podcast’s Mamoru Hosoda celebration month, I recently got around to rewatching the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It was, when I watched it, an immaculate film that perfectly captured the capricious carefree days of being a teenager as you divert your expectations from tomorrow and just revel in having…

My February Anime Recap: Kaiju, Rom-Coms, and Hot Desert Garbage
It’s March which means another month has passed into the annals of soon to be forgotten history as the inevitable nuclear decimation waits patiently to wipe us all out. Thusly, I’m once again going to regale you with all the anime that I watched during the month of February! Please clap. It was the season…

What Makes Anime Love So Tolerable (To Me)?
It’s (probably) Valentine’s Day and love is in the air unless you’re in a major metropolitan area then that’s smog in the air! Don’t breathe in too deep, you don’t want to die of love inhalation. I’ll be like everyone else on this planet and talk about love on the love holiday because there’s nothing…

Fitness Boxing with Kenshiro is Something I Didn’t Know I Needed
I like Fist of the North Star! I can’t finish the anime because it’s so long and cheesy with multiple additions to the narrative that just feel tacked on to sell kids on it but I like Fist of the North Star! Post apocalyptic world with deadly martial arts fights feels like something that is…

The Anime I Watched in January
To be honest, I keep opening up this site to type out a blog and then I lose my steam and leave my ramblings in my drafts to rot forever more. This will be no longer! I’ll recap everything I watched from the previous month at the start of the next month so I can…

Solo Leveling Would’ve Hit So Much Harder If I Was in High School
If you’ve read my previous blog post then you’re aware that I’m trying to catch up on the anime that I missed in 2024 which, as you may have guessed by the title of this blog post, includes Solo Leveling’s first season. To be quite honest, I had no interest in this show when it…

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…
