Should One Have to Quantify Whether They Are an Anime Fan?

This will be the last post before all the manga-themed posts come. Like I've said, it's merely that the series has to have a manga to be eligible for March, which doesn't actually constrain my usual boundaries too much... As for this post, this is a response to something of Lina’s. I've paid attention to the...

Ode to Anime Studios – Sunrise

You know how I said in the Must-read Monthly Monday for this month how I'd be getting to my 2018 regular routine soon? It still hasn't happened yet, but I'm already starting to doubt my choices (since I chose to deal with Japanese from two different perspectives for this part of the year - one...

Reflecting on The Reflection

Even though you could still count 2018 as being "new" at this point, I’m still reflecting on 2017 shows due to this being a 12 Days of Anime reject... In case you don’t remember because you passed on it or erased it from your memory, The Reflection is a summer 2017 show with the top...

The Hows and Whys of My Anime World

This is partially in reply to Jon Spencer's post here. I was part of an anime club for the past year. However, I decided to renew my membership today, so Jon's post gave me another excuse to contemplate on my anime club and how I watch. The Anime Club in Question This particular club decided...

Must-read Monthly Monday (February 2018 ed.)

Can you believe we're already one sixth of the way through 2018? If it's not specified, the time period covered in this post is from the 22nd of January 2018 to today (19th February 2018). Navigation: Other People's Reads | Spellbook Offerings | Coming up next... Other People's Reads It wouldn't be a round-up post without them....

Ooh, shiny… (award post)

Never has there been an award shinier than this one. Shout out to Lina at Tiny Ugly Animal for this nomination. Admittedly, I am rather selective about what I look at from my Reader but Lina's crappy anime posts are consistently entertaining. Those are a piece of sunshine to my day (even if the anime...

The Great(?) Light Novel Adaption Project: Pt III

The previous 2 posts in the project have brought a person who wasn’t particularly impressed by light novel adaptions to give them another chance. Here are the impressions from the end of the remaining series. With a final reminder that the related bingo cards are found here, let's continue the quest... DanMachi My other bingo...

Meaning of Life (An Important Announcement!)

You may not ever know what the meaning of life is, but blogger friends, you'll certainly get some meaning out of life with this announcement. What is the meaning of life?   I admit I'm not a philosophy person (although I did consider becoming one at one point), so I couldn't possibly answer that question...

The Great(?) Light Novel Adaption Project: Pt II

Last time, we saw first episode impressions from a person who isn’t particularly impressed by light novel adaptions. This time, it’s the 3 episode mark. A small reminder that the bingo cards that go with this series of posts are here. With that said, let's continue... Asterisk War I’ve only slightly warmed up to this...

The Great(?) Light Novel Adaption Project: Pt I

Light novels these days are known to be carbon copies of each other more than other genres…so I wanted to try a little something. Stop by in 24 hrs for the next part and 48 for the 3rd part. Also, trigger warnings for topics on one of the adaptions (the last one of the trio,...
