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…

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…

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…

The Sailor Moon Super Live Show Was Awesome (And Also Made Me Aware of My Own Mortality)
When I was younger, I used to love the Toonami block particularly the anime. I knew there was something innately different about the anime as the stories tied into each other and every episode was important to the next. They were fun to watch but also were essential to get the most out of the…

My March Anime Recap: Chilling with a Crisp, Refreshing Hosoda
I know you might visit for a perspective charged with levity (or at least mild levity) but with the passing of my father this week, I’m honestly struggling at times to find the brighter side in some regards. My dad and I have a history fraught with tension and miscommunication but I also grasp what…

How Five Years of Anime Podcasting Changed My Perspective (Hopefully for the Better)
It’s not a grand accomplishment by any means but this January marked five years of me doing consistent anime podcasting content. I can’t honestly say that it’s all good or even okay quality wise (the first episodes I recorded were in a closet with a 40 dollar mic I bought off Amazon that had a…

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…

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…
