10 Best OPs of 2018
As requested by Karandi. The title pretty much explains itself, so let's count these OPs down. You might remember a few of these from the previous post I made on anime music. 10. Rocket Beat - Kiyono Yasuno (Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen) I had to get off the bandwagon for the Cardcaptor Sakura sequel because I'm... Continue Reading →
Final Impressions for Summer 2018
I almost forgot it was time to wrap up another season... Since I've already watched the first episode of Double Decker! Doug and Kirill (if it's October where you are, check here for what I thought of that show) and written up what I want to see for fall 2018 (if it's past September 26th... Continue Reading →

Reminder this goes... Continue Reading →
Merchandise Team-ups I’d Like to See for Summer 2018 Anime
Anime and buying merchandise go hand in hand, including all that themed merch, so thinking about what collaboration comes next from that duality is always entertaining. Some of these team-ups make a lot of sense, some are ironic and some…are just weird, to capture the spirit of things… Note: All of these are hypothetical, as... Continue Reading →
Summer 2018 Predictions
Well, both my collabs from last season got extended, so it sure doesn't feel like the summer anime season yet... Reminder that this is from greatest to least hype and if there's something missing from the list, it's probably because it's known to be taken by Amazon or Netflix/it's a subsequent season to something I...
