Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
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 →
I guess half the fun of doing this collab is playing with the show's title. Theme this time: "Criticise everything Subaru says and does" (episodic, see themes and other takes on this episode here) It was a tough choice between praising the Prez and dissing Subaru, but diss tracks are all the rage right now,...

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. This is what hit the No... Continue Reading →
Last time on this NGNL saga, I wasn't particularly impressed by it...but I guess you could say that I found a kindred spirit through looking at the structure of the novels and their translation. How It All Began After picking up novels 1 - 4 from a branch of the library I don't normally visit,... Continue Reading →
Howdy friends! Care to submit a post for the Showcase? Well, if you don't know about this blog yet...the name's Aria (pseudonym). I've been a contributor to the Showcase since the first one so I figured I'd handle February to ease into hosting...I have my own round-up as well, which is why I've refused, but...

What a punchy post title...I perceive it to pretty much have 100% panache...okay, I think that's enough alliteration for now. Today's theme: Cause and effect (see this episode's themes and other people's takes on the same episode here) In order to figure out the true extent of the cause and effect in this post, while...

Y'know, there's something vaguely annoying for those who want to live a proper life and also finish all those anime before they're announced to disappear off Crunchyroll... I did have the series Hanasaku Iroha on my PTW at some point in time, but then axed it. Then this announcement told me I should watch it before... Continue Reading →
Hmm…I don’t think I pay attention to this company much… Production IG is so named because of its founders’ surnames, Ishikawa and Goto. It was previously called IG Tatsunoko (“Tatsunoko” being the company the founders worked for) from its beginning in 1987 and then rebranded as its current name in 1993. It has had collaborations...

I figured I'd take a laidback approach with this one; that is, I'll type up whatever comes to mind and then cobble it into a post. That's what I do most times, but the process always turns out to be a slightly different experience. Today's theme: Sometimes, It's the Small Things in Anime (core, see episode themes here)...
