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...

Ode to Anime Studios – NAZ

To be honest, I kept putting this studio off for this post series because I don’t have much information to go off… This is one of those instances where the studio is known under several names – the company website doesn’t refer to itself as “NAZ”, but rather “Anima & Company” (even in the URL,...

Railgunfan75’s Anime Favourites Challenge (Tag Post)

Kudos to Irina for the nomination. Rules Pick a favorite series/movie for each letter of the alphabet. For titles starting with “a” “an” or “the” use the first letter of the next word of the title. Since many titles have multiple names based on the language that you are using please pick one language for...

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...

A Practical Guide to Cosplay

I'm no cosplay nut, but certain anime have made me rethink my potential for such an art... Since I miss Irina already (she is around, but in a reduced capacity), let's have a discussion about cosplay costumes...outside of Halloween season, because why not. I used to think cosplay was basically impossible, since I can't sew...

The Mystery Deepens in ID: INVADED

Ever since the last time I checked in with ID: INVADED, stuff has only gotten more layered and confusing. Yes...if you didn't notice, I'm using all-caps for the title now. If you read the katakana under the English in the logo, you'll find the name of the series is actually Ido: Inveideddo, meaning it's meant...

Winter 2020 First Impressions: Thanks, I Hate It

 This order is subject to change since a lot of the anime was "wait and see what reviews are like" content if it wasn't already on the pre-season list, so the provisional list as of this post (for all the new shows) is:ID: InvadedSomali to Mori no KamisamaMagia RecordEizoukenIdolish7 s2 (to get notes and secure...

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)...

Serial Escalation Ensues for ID: Invaded

By the time you're reading this, the ID: Invaded preview will have run out, but never fear - it'll be back in 2020. Funimation had a preview for ID: Invaded and lemme tell you...aside from being able to "see the future" and realise it still looks far too much like the present (again)... ...ID: Invaded is...
