Animanga Festival #24 – Blogging Buddies

"Blogger that inspired you to be great"...can I just say "almost everyone"? I can't show that much favouritism to everyone, so I think you know the answer if you've read how this blog began - Scott was the one that got me to sign up but Karandi was the one who made me make the...

Animanga Festival #15 – Fanwork is Cool

Geddit? Fanwork? Cool? ...okay, remind me to never be a stand-up comedian, ever... In the spirit of fanwork needing love, well, there's no better fandom than Boueibu. I've mentioned my high opinion of this fic a grand total of once, but I still like it upon rereading it and I didn't elaborate on why I love...

Animanga Festival #10 – Collection of Your Best Works

Aka "the Spellbook's Greatest Hits". The title explains itself, so let's get into this stuff straight away: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Gender is the first post that really fits the format I use for posts now. Ode to Anime Studios – Bones is the first of many Ode to Anime Studios posts. When You Stare Into...

Animanga Festival #5 – Taking a Journey through the Anime and Manga Worlds

Yes, I'm part of the Animanga Festival. Meta context: I skipped #2 because in 2015 - that is, before I made the jump to WordPress - I made a Tumblr post on this very topic and it reflects both my naivete and its rather fillery nature in the context of the blog it's hosted on. I'm not...

Demon Sayer Corps: Kimetsu no Yaiba 14 – Downtime for Demon Slayers

No rest for the weary, eh? Gotta watch my KyoAni show for OWLS, Yuki Yuna for a watching challenge I signed up for (on a whim), finish almost overdue library books, do my usual real life stuff and my weekly post reservoir has dried up...and so's my motivation, because it's directed towards all that stuff instead....

Space is the Place: Space, Tradition and Starlight Promises

I’m trying something different this time compared to my OWLS posts…and basing my post on a movie. Welcome, one and all, to this stop on the Space is the Place tour which is a tour through...well, our anime space, arranged by Scott to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landing. If this is your...

Demon Slayer Corps: Kimetsu no Yaiba 10 – Being Susamaru is Suffering

More like "Being Tanjiro is suffering"...if you're a few episodes ahead, I think you'll know why. I have some good news: Ply was able to bring himself back to the collab. I'll let him speak for himself when it's his turn again (if he wants to), though, since we've all got things we're dealing with....
