Good Subtitles Matter Even If Crunchyroll Thinks They Don’t
The past week or two there’s been so much discussion on Crunchyroll’s lackluster subtitles that started off the Fall season of anime. They were either too tiny or too big and didn’t feature the classic drop shadow that was a prominent feature of Crunchyroll’s subtitles that helped visibility. There’s also been the obvious discourse of…

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…

Seasonal Samplings – My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
It’s really odd to think that My Hero Academia’s first season will reach its 10th anniversary in just a year but alas time flies when you’re trying to let the fan base just live in peace. I remember actually watching that first season with my partner at the time and being super stoked on the…

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…

Seasonal Samplings: From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated!
Well, this show has only maybe three more episodes to go before it wraps up but I really wanted to just make a blog post gushing about the fun I’m having with it! It’s mostly due in part because every time I bring it up then I’m met with blank stares, outright silence, or a…

Seasonal Sampling: Honey Lemon Soda
It isn’t really fair to just watch three episodes of an anime then operate under the notions that you’ve seen enough to warrant any sort of comprehensive review yet here we are. I mostly want to just vent out my frustrations over Honey Lemon Soda’s anime adaptation because if some anime truly aren’t anything more…
