Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
Regardless of what you think about fan translations, the problem with them is that they lay down the foundation for weird things to happen… The answer to this Answerman (specifically “…30-page-long snail-mailed hate screeds in broken English (angry about subtitle translation choices not matching that of fansubs, natch)…”) made me think about how fansubs are...

Hello, friendos. I didn’t actually finish watching the series I picked on time (everything happened at once because I decided to take on a timed AniList watching challenge and started to neglect other stuff), but I’ll do what I can based on what I know. If you’re new to the whole OWLS thing, welcome. This... Continue Reading →

I’ve been reading a lot of shoujo manga lately and it made me realise there’s one particular reason manga works so well. A good manga is one that you can devour volumes of quickly and then ask for more of, right? As I’ve been reading one volume of manga after another, I came to the... Continue Reading →
