Ode to Anime Studios – Shaft

I’m no authority on Shaft since I haven’t seen a lot of their integral work or the works Shinbo did before he became Shaft’s mainstay, but I’ll give this a shot… Shaft are known for 4 things – Akiyuki Shinbo, the dude who sits in the (chief) director’s chair for pretty much every Shaft project,...

Shippin’ the Half-Cold Half-Hot Todoroki with LAMA

It’s the final chance to choose ships and get points for the LAMA Cupid collab. Who will win? We’ll find out after we run through our choices for Todoroki… It’s that time of the week again - time to ship some boys like your local postal service - and since Lina, Arthifis and Mel have...

Hyping Up Fall 2018

As we move into the final stretch of the year, it's time to run some shows down...but for some reason, I seem kind of disappointed at this lot. 2018 was best in the spring, methinks...to the point where even though the situation isn't as dire as when I used to throw all hopes at 2...

Final Impressions for Summer 2018

I almost forgot it was time to wrap up another season... Since I've already watched the first episode of Double Decker! Doug and Kirill (if it's October where you are, check here for what I thought of that show) and written up what I want to see for fall 2018 (if it's past September 26th...

Must-read Monthly Monday (September 2018 ed.)

Playing Cupid With L.A.M.A. – Daddy Oga’s In For A Treat

It's that time of the week again! As in, time to get together with Arthifis, Mel, Lina and myself - LAMA for short - to ship some dudes. This time it's Lina's choice, Oga from Beelzebub (+ baby Beel + demon nanny Hilda). Make sure to vote to determine the winner of this collab, and...

No Game, No Life and the Isekai Boom (TBR/W post)

When watching No Game, No Life for the first time a few years from when it was first airing (i.e. in 2018), it becomes pretty apparent that it’s from the isekai boom era, if not being a progenitor to it. It's been a bit of a while since the last TBR/W tag post, huh? Anyways,...

On Rotation

The occasional Spotify tipoff for anime music will always send me into a tizzy, I swear... The small list of songs I listed off for the Brotherhood of the World award got me digging through Spotify for the anime music that's hiding in my Saved Songs list. Spotify can sometimes be pretty bad with anime music,...

Playing Cupid with LAMA – Aomine Edition

The choices get more varied as we go for round 2 of Who Ships This Character Best (with the subject being Mel’s beloved Aomine from Kuroko no Basuke). Make sure to vote, and we’ll see you next time at Lina’s place!

Mel's Universe

Hello Everyone!
It’s me, Mel

As you know I’m doing another collaboration post with the super duper awesome Arthifis from Arthifis’ Place, but this time two more people joined us, Lina from Tiny Ugly Animal and Aria from The Animanga Spellbook.
Of course once again we are talking about hot and cute boy, however we are not only talking about that, we will also share with you who we think could be the best match for the character that we choose, in other words we are Playing Cupid.

Astra: Lost in Space – A Perfect Manga to Lead the Web Revolution!

With more manga going digital legally by the day, maybe someday we won’t have to rely on pirated manga for the latest chapters of everything we want to see in English…? Astra: Lost in Space (in Japan, Kanata no Astra) is a somewhat short series at 49 chapters, but the way it’s structured leads me to believe...
