Previous Episodes Ep 1 Eps 2 - 3 Eps 4 - 5 Ep 6 Ep 7 Episode 8 (Proofreading!Aria: In retrospect, I was quite analytical this episode.) “I don’t have much time left.” – That’s an interesting sentence to use, Setsuna…particularly when I put it out of context. What does the feather at the... Continue Reading →
Announcing Fate/Stay Winter!
...I admit I didn't plan this through at first... What is Fate/Stay Winter? I missed planning out something and then seeing it through, so I arbitrarily decided to clean out my paused list by tackling one of the priority lists I made, hence this. It sounds like no biggie...except when you realise some series have... Continue Reading →
Ode to Anime Studios – A-1 Pictures/Cloverworks
Well, here goes nothing… After the 12 Days was over (I finished writing mine on the 23rd), I had no idea what to write on…until I realised I did have a few choices left: NAZ (had only about 6 works, but 2 were upcoming), Gainax (huge reputation and people have done research on its unconventional...

Put a Tune to It (Tag Post)
So, it's time to show off my taste in music (which has shown up in awards and tag posts before, but not as much as it has in this particular capacity). Depending on your own tastes, you might like all or none of them...your call. I decided to pick up Chris Joynson's (Never Argue with... Continue Reading →
Looking Forward to Winter 2020 (1st Day of Anime 2019)
"Kanye for President" jokes aside...can you believe it? We're almost at 2020! The roadtrip I kept mentioning? It got suddenly cancelled. It was far too hazardous on part of the planned route and one of the motels my dad had tried booking into was uncontactable (presumably) because of the same hazards, so...that's why you're (unexpectedly)...

Best Anime of the Decade (2nd Day of Anime 2019)
By some accounts, we've hit the end of the decade. Most of my anime watching occurred in this decade...not only due to the sheer amount of stuff that came out, but because I started with simulcasts halfway through. Note: For obvious reasons, this list covers anime I've finished during the decade (or in the case... Continue Reading →
A Magical 2019 Pt. II: The Spellbook Awards (3rd Day of Anime 2019)
By popular demand...or maybe just Derek's...the Awards are back (and harder to nominate for than ever, considering the AniList end-of-season forum posts have essentially died off due to lack of people keeping them alive). There are less joke awards than 2017's, but regardless, have fun with them... ...oh, and if you didn't figure it out... Continue Reading →

A Magical 2019 Pt. I (4th Day of Anime 2019)
This is the yearly rankings post. Just to make it faster for myself, I've left the month that I finished at the end of each entry of these non-simulcast commentary lists. Top (?) 10 Worst Dropped Anime According to My AniList Rating Due to the fact an anime needs a rating to be eligible in... Continue Reading →
2 Years of the Spellbook! (5th Day of Anime 2019)
Another delayed milestone. Part 1 of the saga here. After suddenly having to write most of the 12 Days of Aniblogging in advance, Aria was pretty tired of writing...but there was still work to do. Specifically, a skipped milestone last month meant that she had to look at the Spellbook's stats for the new year.... Continue Reading →
