Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
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... Continue Reading →
By popular demand...or maybe just Derek's...the Awards are back (and harder to nominate for than ever, considering the AniList end-of-season forum posts have essentially died off due to lack of people keeping them alive). There are less joke awards than 2017's, but regardless, have fun with them... ...oh, and if you didn't figure it out... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
Yikes...I almost forgot to wrap up the season again. I've finished all the shows bar Dr Stone, so here's the last impressions of summer 2019. Previous impressions on the season: Summer 2019 First Impressions: One Demon Lord Too Many Summer 2019 First Impressions: The Final Stretch Random Musings on Given’s First Episode Summer 2019 Mid-Season...

With Kimetsu no Yaiba airing right now, it seems like a good time to write about ufotable. The interesting thing is that I’ve always pronounced the studio’s name “u-fot-able”, but it should be (according to the katakana) pronounced “yu-fo-table”…not that it makes much of a difference from pronouncing each of the letters in “UFO” separately,...

Almost caught up! Ply dropped out on us again, so here's another double-post from us: Ukogi fan (le me) Nezuko stan (Astral) friend to spiders (Moya) absent from the post...again...

Normally I wouldn't do a mid-season check-in, but I've come to realise I don't really know what I love this season anymore since I just watched a few weeks' worth of anime over the past few days... After all my lamenting of being behind in this Demon Slayer collab post, the side effects are starting to... Continue Reading →
No rest for the weary, eh? Gotta watch my KyoAni show for OWLS, Yuki Yuna for a watching challenge I signed up for (on a whim), finish almost overdue library books, do my usual real life stuff and my weekly post reservoir has dried up...and so's my motivation, because it's directed towards all that stuff instead....

I don't think I have any snarky puns for the post title anymore.Previously, I watched Sacred Beasts, Astra, Maou-sama Retry! and UchiMusume. The post after that had Fire Force, Dr Stone, Granbelm and Ensemble Stars. I'll be skipping the recap of DanMachi (I saw s1 at the start of the Spellbook's existence!), so then it's Arifureta, Cop Craft, DanMachi,... Continue Reading →
