Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
Thanks to my accepting of a nomination from Lina, we have ourselves some posts. So let's send 2018 out with a bang! The rules, from Merlin's post (because Lina didn't have them): Thank the person who nominated you Post three quotes on three consecutive days Nominate three bloggers to do the same When I've seen...

This is partially inspired by Scott's piece on religion, money and politics and partially inspired by something Doug says at the end of the second episode of Double Decker. Writing about the world you're in or a fictional version of it is bound to mean you're making some meta commentary on the condition of said... Continue Reading →
It’s the final chance to choose ships and get points for the LAMA Cupid collab. Who will win? We’ll find out after we run through our choices for Todoroki… It’s that time of the week again - time to ship some boys like your local postal service - and since Lina, Arthifis and Mel have...

I almost forgot it was time to wrap up another season... Since I've already watched the first episode of Double Decker! Doug and Kirill (if it's October where you are, check here for what I thought of that show) and written up what I want to see for fall 2018 (if it's past September 26th... Continue Reading →
One of Boku no Hero Academia's myriad strengths is what it's held up by - it's a love letter to the past, a proponent of thinking about the present and keenly (yet optimistically) aware of the future.

Reminder this goes... Continue Reading →
Here's another Unwise Decision from yours truly... If you're not a forum lurker on AniList, then you might not have known that there's now an AniList watching challenge (it's modelled on the MAL ones that existed previously). There's also a criterion involving picking a 90/9-rated anime from another user (see 11 below), so if anyone... Continue Reading →
Oof...more hard choices... Day 27 (Extra Day 4) - Main character Since I mentioned Bell last time, I'll pass on him and go for another underdog protagonist. I mean, if Mel and Arthifis can get away with using "cute" boys rather than the more typical "hot" or "sexy" types you find in this challenge, then... Continue Reading →
There was way too much good stuff this season, so putting down some final thoughts for each will be pretty hard... Boueibu is still missing an episode due to its delay, plus Nobunaga no Shinobi and Boku no Hero Academia are continuing, but otherwise these should cover the entirety of the show. If not specified,... Continue Reading →
