Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
Ths is inspired by, and a reply to, Oncasteve's criticisms of Daito and Shoto in Ready Player One. Although Daito and Shoto can be used to generalise the entirety of Ready Player One's Japan, my example is not as deep but shows signs of being similar. That is, Ran Takeda of the Lorien Legacies book... Continue Reading →
Yep, it’s time to praise another studio which often gets dissed by others (following Pierrot). If you don’t understand what I mean from before the “Read More”, Studio Deen, once upon a time, got dissed a bunch because of what is termed “QUALITY”. If Reddit is anything to go by, big offenders are 2000s Deen... Continue Reading →
(Oh, memes. Never change.) This episode's theme: How Does This Compare to the Classics? (core, see here for all themes and takes on the episode)I think this'll be a good way to wrap up.Okay, so what's a "classic"?"Classic" implies tradition. Tradition is something that has to go back a long way, in this case to the beginnings... Continue Reading →
With the coming and going of SSSS.Gridman, I've realised I have some baggage when it comes to mech shows. I definitely agree with this quote from Moe Sucks: ...I’ve never actually watched mecha shows because I like mechas. I don’t really care for them at all. They seem impractical.

There's only so much I can say in these intros so, uh...I still think the intro for my Konobi ep. 11 post is great! You can check that, and more, out below. If it's not specified, the time period covered in this post is from the 18th of February 2019 to the 25th of March... Continue Reading →
This could be a great season...or it could be a bad one. It really just depends on how the shows are distributed between the licensors and how the adaptions turn out... I decided not to separate the shows like last time, since it was too much effort. If a show doesn’t appear here, it may... Continue Reading →
The only thing nastier than Kyoto boys and deadlines people impose on you is the set of deadlines you set for yourself...(yes, I'm finishing the Konobi post only a few hours before it has to go out again). This episode's theme: Which character would be most suited to rob a bank, and why? (episodic, see... Continue Reading →
I was discussing with Karandi how Morose Mononokean needed another season…and then one fell into my lap. Well, at least I ain’t complainin’. Why is the show so good? I admit the show is kind of average in how it’s executed, to the point where I probably couldn’t tell you an episode by episode rundown... Continue Reading →
After much dissing of Subaru, I think it's finally time to give the club prez the love he deserves.Theme for this ep: President's motivation (see more themes and takes on this ep. here) Normally I'd try to pick something while watching the episode so I'd have sufficient things to say, but an electrician decided to...
