Breaking Pedestals in Bungou Stray Dogs

Did you know that Crunchyroll got the Bungou Stray Dogs OVA? No? Well, once you finish watching it...let me tell you: the Walking Alone OVA reminded me why I love Bungou Stray Dogs so much, writing-wise.

Gotta Collect ‘Em All!

Basically, where I gloat over my collection so far...even if it's tiny compared to most other people's collections... Meta context: I was waiting for April 1st to come to lay down some great content, but after scrapping stuff that was either not good enough for my publishing standards or that happened to used the same...

“If I could turn back time, to the good old days…” (A Grim Time in Grimgar)

If you don’t recognise the title lyrics, here you go.

The Great(?) Light Novel Adaption Project: Pt II

Last time, we saw first episode impressions from a person who isn’t particularly impressed by light novel adaptions. This time, it’s the 3 episode mark. A small reminder that the bingo cards that go with this series of posts are here. With that said, let's continue... Asterisk War I’ve only slightly warmed up to this...

The Great(?) Light Novel Adaption Project: Pt I

Light novels these days are known to be carbon copies of each other more than other genres…so I wanted to try a little something. Stop by in 24 hrs for the next part and 48 for the 3rd part. Also, trigger warnings for topics on one of the adaptions (the last one of the trio,...
