Why I Blog For Myself

It's that question again: who do we blog for? Meta note: This was, for the most part, written about this time last year (for readers in the future, "this time last year" means about July 2019). Therefore, some of the things I say in it may be out of date already, especially with people coming...

#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 10 – 11

Previous eps. Episodes 1 – 2 Episodes 3 – 4 Episodes 5 – 6 Episodes 7 – 8 Episode 9 Impressions Episode 10 Seems aster is a type of purple flower. Why am I so worried that Shiki has uploaded her consciousness into cyberspace? I think Voyager (or was it a different Chris?) put that...

Ode to Anime Studios – David Production

Well, I’ve seen a few things from this studio…but I don’t actually know much about them, aside from their reputation with the Jojo series. With the anime marathon adding Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 1 to my list, that means I’ve at least sampled Cells at Work, Fire Force, Ensemble Stars, Sagrada Reset, Book of Bantorra...

10 Anime I’m Excited for in 2020

Essentially my take on this list. Meta note: This was written on the 16th of June 2020 as a way to build up content in advance (with some subsequent editing as changes arise), so with the changing situation, some of these season listings may already be out of date. They shouldn't be too much later...

#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 9

You know when you set aside time to do Important Stuff that won't take too long, so you procrastinate on everything - then you look back on that time and you realise you did almost nothing productive...? Yeah, that happened to me. That's why this post is quite late in comparison to the usual. (At...

 If it's not specified, the time period covered in this post is from the 25th of May 2020 to the 22nd of June 2020.Other People's ReadsIt wouldn't be a round-up post without them. However, since I scour people's archives on a regular basis, these may not even be from the right time period...Welp, having fallen...

Quarantine Reading Material

I received a call on the 5th of June 2020 (the day I'm writing this opening sentence) and I'm finally going to be able to leave this quarantine lifestyle behind...partially. The call on the 5th said I was going to restart voluneering on the 17th of that month. So just to commemorate being out of...

Move the Way You Want [Jun. ’20 OWLS Blog Tour]

This is a different OWLS post because in the past, if I did a manga, I’d normally do one that had an anime or one that is officially in English. Hi. If you’re new, this is Aria (pseudonym) of the Animanga Spellbook. I’m going to focus on a manga that only has a presence in...

#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 7 – 8

Previous eps. The Perfect Insider 1 – 2 The Perfect Insider 3 – 4 The Perfect Insider 5 – 6 Impressions Episode 7 Oh! The episodes are called “chapters”! I don’t think I’ve documented that before. Are those taxidermied butterflies in the background…? The subs said “him”, but I’m fairly sure they were referring to...
