A Magical 2020

Like 2019, I'll leave a number at the end of the name of the work to indicate which month I finished each entry in. However, this time I put // to indicate which ones are tied and which are not (i.e. anything grouped together with a "(tie)" should have the same score). Normally I would...

Quarantine Reading Material

I received a call on the 5th of June 2020 (the day I'm writing this opening sentence) and I'm finally going to be able to leave this quarantine lifestyle behind...partially. The call on the 5th said I was going to restart voluneering on the 17th of that month. So just to commemorate being out of...

Winter 2020 Wrap-Up (ft. Boku no Hero Academia’s Movie, Futari no Hero)

As the COVID-19 crisis crawls ever onwards, there's never been a better time to be a homebody, so why not wrap up some anime? As I sink ever deeper into HypMic hell and jump back into gacha games I abandoned a year or so ago, it has occurred to me that it's time to wrap...

Looking Back on Fall 2019

Shinchou Yuusha's delays mean that I had to wrap this up basically on the day the new season started happening. The new season began on a Saturday for me (the day for BnHA and Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), so that's why they're behind an episode more than I could have caught up on - that's why I've...

Looking Forward to Winter 2020 (1st Day of Anime 2019)

"Kanye for President" jokes aside...can you believe it? We're almost at 2020! The roadtrip I kept mentioning? It got suddenly cancelled. It was far too hazardous on part of the planned route and one of the motels my dad had tried booking into was uncontactable (presumably) because of the same hazards, so...that's why you're (unexpectedly)...

A Magical 2019 Pt. I (4th Day of Anime 2019)

This is the yearly rankings post. Just to make it faster for myself, I've left the month that I finished at the end of each entry of these non-simulcast commentary lists. Top (?) 10 Worst Dropped Anime According to My AniList Rating Due to the fact an anime needs a rating to be eligible in...

Animanga Festival #5 – Taking a Journey through the Anime and Manga Worlds

Yes, I'm part of the Animanga Festival. Meta context: I skipped #2 because in 2015 - that is, before I made the jump to WordPress - I made a Tumblr post on this very topic and it reflects both my naivete and its rather fillery nature in the context of the blog it's hosted on. I'm not...

Hyping Up Fall 2019

Yikes, where did the summer season go...? I haven't really been keeping track of where the summer season has gone, since it was slow at the beginning and now it's at the pointy end for real life right now (and I keep misjudging what time I have left to do things since these days I...
