RobiHachi is Cleverer Than You Think It Is

...you didn't think the dumb mech show was actually an allusion to something, did you? (/jk) Meta context: This post was written mostly around when I was close to finishing RobiHachi in August 2022. I figured I'd clean it up while I don't have a lot of other posts coming out and while I procrastinate...

How Cowboy Bebop Does Horror Well

Cowboy Bebop - a perennial anime classic which manages to span many moods, including horror. I've said before anime doesn't do a lot of horror and one of those reasons is because other genres of anime do it better. Cowboy Bebop nails this, particularly with Toys in the Attic but also with Black Dog Serenade....

Asexuals and Aromantics in Anime and Manga

...it's still the 29th of October where I am as I write this. It's the end of Ace Week, but depending on your definition of "where your week ends", you may still have more than enough time to read this. You were probably thinking, "Hey, no Halloween post this year?" There is one, if you...

Hyping Up Fall 2022

Finally, some time to make more space for...stuff... As I head into what will inevitably be a very tumultous final few months of my schooling, ever...again...and with the Funimation cut having come and gone, there was no way I was ever going to be able to finish everything I ever watched on Funimation. I've been...

Sending Off Summer 2022

Thanks to holding off on Hataraku Maou-sama!! and eventually Hoshi no Samidare, because of how big the backlog got (the AniList Watching Challenge people started a thing called the Hero's War which kinda stressed me out due to its time-sensitive nature), I only have these two anime from the summer. Tokyo Mew Mew New Pretty...

Crunchyroll Expo Con Report

For my first in-person con, I got some good stuff and some bad.

Do You Love Your Family and their Anime Antics?

We all talk about getting non-anime fans into anime, but what about the opposite...? I've fallen behind on the new season again (because my Funimation subscription is running out in a few months) and that means I don't really want to blog anything else. So, the real topic here is: what are the problems which...

Wrapping Up Winter 2021

Spoilers below, as always. Sk8 Wrapped itself up neatly. I'd dare to say it was maybe a bit too neat, but that doesn't stop it from being heartwarming anyway. I was also following Sk8: Chill Out!, the chibi manga which accompanies the series, on Young Ace Up and that put a bit more details on...

The Quest for an Anime About Hacking Continues (AKA Summer 2022 First Impressions: Yurei Deco)

Details can be found in this post. It's said there's an anime or manga about everything on occasion and that seems to be right to some degree...except for hacking/coding, which ends up being massively sensationalised to the point most of the time it's depicted, it's not particularly realistic. (Plus translation/interpreting, but that's 1) extremely meta...

Summer 2022 First Impressions: Tokyo Mew Mew New

I had my reservations about this series, but since it's a reboot and not a sequel (...so far...), it should be safe...right...? If I could make this post incoherent screaming of something to the effect of "Magical girls rule!", then I would. However, you want more words from me than that...so if you've seen the...
