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...

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...

On Rotation

The occasional Spotify tipoff for anime music will always send me into a tizzy, I swear... The small list of songs I listed off for the Brotherhood of the World award got me digging through Spotify for the anime music that's hiding in my Saved Songs list. Spotify can sometimes be pretty bad with anime music,...

Part 2 (on the 10th/11th of August, depending on your timezone) covers the bottom half, unranked shows and, of course, Muhyo and Roji’s (which could land anywhere, to be honest). Reminder this goes...

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...

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...
