Welcome, everyone, to another round of #AniTwitWatches. If you're new to this neck of the woods, you might want to see round 3 or round 5 to see how I handle this post (there's no rounds 1, 2 or 4 because I'd seen those shows already) or see this post to know what #AniTwitWatches is.

Do You Need Great Animation in Your Anime?
A response to Karandi's post from a while ago. I have no idea where Karandi's gone as of the completion of this post (which, I will admit, was the day before it was published), but after digging in my drafts folder for something to use, plus K's conducting on the good content train...it seems she...

Adapting to Society with Wandering Son [May ’20 OWLS Blog Tour]
Don't we all adapt to society, if it doesn't adapt to us instead? Hello friendos. Back after a break from OWLS and I dunno if it made any difference, but I guess there’s no point mulling over it anymore. As usual, this is Aria (that's my pseudonym) and we - OWLS - promote acceptance of... Continue Reading →
Why Do Anime Blogs Insist on Covering Simulcasts?
This topic came up on Jon Spencer’s Discord channel after a convo got massively derailed, so I want to think about why this is the case.

On the Nature of a Great Battle
Katanagatari is a wordy show...but more than that, it sure does show off a great battle. I've been observing some of the posts Chris Voyager has put out on Anime Voyage and they always get me thinking. One of his is What Are My Favourite Kinds of Stories, I Wonder? and the answer was surprising, for an... Continue Reading →

A few eps from the end already… Previous eps. Eps 1 - 2 Ep 3 Eps 4 - 5 Eps 6 - 7 Ep 8 Impressions Hmm…I mentioned a friend who watched scary movies for their birthday. This friend was the most common person to be found in a male uniform, because I don’t think... Continue Reading →
#AniTwitWatches Round 5: Wandering Son 8
Like it was said in the episode by Nitori, "can things go back to the way they used to be"? I know this is affected by what happened to me this past weekend, but I don't think they can...ever. Sidebar for Jon: Also, while I'm wrangling this "previous eps" section"...why are the episodes grouped the... Continue Reading →
