A Criminally Underserved Niche

As inspired by a small rant I had in Scott's comment section. You know what I want? An anime about coding and/or hacking. Not Hollywood hacking, like Akudama Drive's Hacker does (warning: TV Tropes link)...a faithful version of it. I know, I know...no Japanese anime studio is ever going to stumble across a blog in...

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 – Doga Kobo

Welp, we’re getting to the more questionable and obscure studios at this point… …I think most of the studios after this one are really controversial studios (Gonzo, A-1), studios I didn’t really know how to tackle (JC Staff, Brain’s Base) or fairly new studios which only get their attention from the sakuga community (Orange, Colorido)....

Who’s Up For the Challenge?

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...

The Importance of Nene in New Game! (TBR/W post)

After much hyping up, let's get this series of posts started. Welp, here’s where I’m at with TBR/W posts, using the updated list from this post. I think Shiki might disappear from Crunchyroll at the end of June, so I’ll prioritise that and then get back to these. Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist Amagi Brilliant...

That Backlog’s Just Getting Bigger…(TBR/W Tag)

The painful truth is right there in the title! Since Irina offered the TBR/W tag to anyone who wanted it, I took it. Unfortunately, that left me with the conundrum of which name to pick - choose "Aria" and make it too short, or hack the number off "MagicConan14" and make it too long? For the...
