The Best New Years Parties Start on the 29th!

It’s the second blogwarming party on Irina’s blog. Make sure to check it out, because a certain someone made one of the featured spots…

I drink and watch anime

Hi Guys! How has you December been? Yeah, mine was super busy too! But hey, at least we got it done, right!? I hope you all had wonderful Holidays or at least not completely horrible ones. Next year will be (even) better, I promise. We could all do a Christmas anime marathon together, that’ll be fun! I hope you’ll get the chance to rest up a little at least because 2018 is just around the corner and you will need your strength. There’s going to be a lot of work and a lot of partying to be done. I’m certainly looking forward to it. I have an idea, let’s start the partying right now, the work’ll get done eventually.

Even though I haven’t checked this time (super busy and all) I’m hopingKarandi from100 Word Anime andRemyfromThe Lily Garden will agree to once again share these…

Ode to Anime Studios – Studio Comet

Why Studio Comet and not a more renowned studio after Bones? Well, Studio Comet were responsible for the visuals on Boueibu season 2 and the Boueibu OVA, and I hadn’t heard of them prior to those two stints. According to Anime News Network, Studio Comet has done a lot of in-between animation or second key animation,...

A Magical 2017 pt. II (a.k.a. the Spellbook Awards)

This is part 2 of a post from yesterday. It goes without saying there are spoilers here for some categories. I also included some joke categories, so have fun reading and sharing your own. Speaking of awards though, I got a total of 100 likes on my posts on Monday. Note: If not specified, only anime...

A Magical 2017 pt. I (yearly rankings)

It's the end of the year...and since this is the first year of doing end-of-year rankings on the Spellbook, I'm doing things a bit differently this time. ...Scratch that. It's very different, and thus a lot longer than usual. It's so long, in fact, I'm posting part II (Spellbook Awards) in 24 hours' time.  I...

Must-read Monthly Monday (inaugural ed.)

If you paid close attention to the intro post, you might've seen something new... ...this segment! If you haven't read the intro post on what it entails, it'll launch the Monday before the next Ode to Anime Studios is due (i.e. last Monday of the month, hence "monthly Monday"), and it's a roundup post for...

Look Forward Before You Look Back (winter 2018 predictions/1st Day of Anime)

It's the end of the 12 Days of Anime. Now, we'll be looking to the future... Carryovers We have the extremely strong Mahoutsukai no Yome and its less-than-stellar accompanying short series MahoYome. I discovered one day that Garo - Vanishing Line - is available to me on Crunchyroll (even though at the start of the...

Why Should You Read Boku no Hero Academia: Vigilantes? (2nd Day of Anime)

Welp, admittedly ever since I mentioned this series in my award post it wasn’t a secret I love this series, but here it is! A post on the series I’ve been hyping up since the Animanga Spellbook began! For the uninitiated, Boku no Hero Academia: Vigilantes (English licensing name) is also known as Vigilante: Boku no...

Birdy the Mighty Decode: A Relic From Another Time (3rd Day of Anime)

I hit my one month-iversary a few days ago (the 21st of December was the exact date of that milestone), but I forgot to mention it... As for today's subject matter, I managed to get through Birdy the Mighty: Decode’s first season recently, so let’s talk about it. As soon as you see the OP...

Playing Second Fiddle is Fine Too (4th Day of Anime)

An open letter to appreciate ACCA’s side characters. Dear ACCA - 13 Ward Inspection Department, In my eyes, you are somewhat of a disappointment because you were a particularly slow show – your ending, in particular, I hold some gripes with. However, there is one aspect of you I can respect immensely, and that’s side...

Confessions of a Former MMO Player (5th Day of Anime)

Recovery of an MMO Junkie made me look back on my own online life…and it means I need to get some things off my chest. I admit it was quite tough to put into words (mentally speaking) so feel free to avoid this post… I had some friends quite a while back who liked anime....
