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 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…

Gintama’s Comedy Is Intertwined With Its Drama – Reflections on Episodes 86 and 87
I’ve typed up a couple of blog posts in the past few weeks but have all left them to rot in my drafts because either A) they felt way too negative (anime fans are making me disappointed) or B) they became nothing posts (mid month anime update where I’ve watched NOTHING). With that status update…

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…

“I’ll Watch It Later” Anime That I Wish I’d Watched Sooner
Every now and then I just get a hankering to just knock out an anime that’s been lingering on my PTW list for a while. It isn’t me being on the hunt for a specific genre or anything; I just want to watch something I’ve been meaning to. The thing is, some of those anime…

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…
