Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
...like, "why don't magical girls ever have to work out to fight bad guys?" Hoo boy, I can't believe I haven't talked about the seasonal anime outside the first impressions yet! Mostly because there are times you want to get lost in shows - like, say, Morose Mononokean, which has a particular atmosphere to it... Continue Reading →
Trawling archives, as you may already know, is one of those things I like to do...so when Shueisha (publishing company for Shonen Jump and a bunch of other magazines) opened up Manga Plus, I knew I was in for some serious reading. Manga Plus has generally been a positive experience in regards to usage, but... Continue Reading →
Talking about the future is hard when the technologies you’re talking about are still in development… Meta context: The Gutenberg editor's scheduler uses some timezone completely different to my own, so when I schedule stuff now, I run the risk of putting it out at 10 pm the day before.

…not that you needed to know that because I already mentioned it in the Megane Day post in October, but for someone like me who isn’t into basketball, that means a lot. In my early days of being a blogger, I had prejudices against certain kinds of works I perceived to be “too popular”. Some... Continue Reading →
