Hyping Up Winter 2022

Noting how much I've got backlogged, I'm probably going to sit this one out entirely. If we count the rewatches (+ Kekkai Sensen and Beyond) and this upcoming week's ATW (2 eps) from the post I linked in the intro (as of the time of writing) plus the fact I attempted to watch Disappearance of...

Dropped – What Could Have Been (Anime Vers.)

Again inspired by Phoenix's series of posts. My manga version is here. I start a lot more anime than I do manga, due to reasons like doing mostly anime watching challenges but not manga reading challenges, plus the fact my entire anime consumption was structured around the "try basically everything as part of the seasonal...

Sending Off Summer 2020

As always, spoilers below. Fugou Keiji Not quite what I expected in the end. It went from "kinda silly anime about a rich detective and a poor detective (in relation to said rich detective) fighting crime" to "rich dude tries to prevent an unlimited energy source from being revealed to the world" - to put...

(Late…?) Fall 2021 First Impressions: For the Artsy Ones

You might've thought I was gone from seasonal anime for good, after I chose not to catch up to the summer season. Well, you can't keep a good(?) blogger down. No ratings this time. I'm just taking what I'm getting, in an attempt to get back into the swing of things. As promised in this...

Those Anime Left Behind

Seeing listicles like this is starting to piss me off… I saw this post (linked above) and I was suddenly compelled to write. I knew I was angry about it, but I couldn’t really pin down why without mulling it over and putting it into a blog post. To be fair, one fan can only...

Some Manga, The Mugen Train and Other Musings

It’s been a hot minute since I was blogging here, huh? What’s happened since you were last here? Now basically everyone is at the point of the year where they’re all going to school and whatnot, I finally have some time back to myself. This is a good thing, I think, because I set a...

Hyping Up Fall 2021

Welp, after a season's hiatus, I have a list! Note I’m still chipping away at my spreadsheet of over 100 episodes so my hype is low for everything and I’m seriously restricting what I’m considering checking out, but the current 122 episodes (as of the time of writing) is more reasonable than the 130 –...

The World Ends With You(r Relationships)

For this post, I wanted to take a different tack to the other post, because that was so clearly done on a time limit, to the point the final sentence doesn’t really make sense in context. So hopefully, now that I’ve had a reprieve from blogging, this post should be good enough for both me...

Do We Need the Terms Shonen/Shoujo/Seinen/Josei Anymore?

This is a reply to this Anime News Network article. If you were around when I was putting out an article a week, you’ll remember I kept stumbling over the idea of gender-based demographics, most notably through this post. …Well, the topic’s back again. Considering the biggest demographic categories are only for the ends of...

It’s Getting Hot in Here… (Tag Post)

Taking on Shoujo's open invitation, but I'm also going to leave this open for anyone else to take up.
