An idea started by Cameron (Iniksbane). I’ve been around for every #ATW which was possible for me and which I hadn’t watched already. A lot of my memories of these anime are vague because...let's face it, I watched some of this stuff up to 6 or 7 years ago. Spoiler warning: Spoilers for Gridman are... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
Behold, the Universe is Full of Blessings!
Now that we're in our own version of the apocalypse...what did Owari no Seraph, Parasyte and others predict about the end? Meta note: This Planet With post finally came to life by splicing it with a more stream-of-consciousness kind of post which covers several anime (I called it "[an] Irina-like post") I had in my drafts....

#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 10 – 11
Previous eps. Episodes 1 – 2 Episodes 3 – 4 Episodes 5 – 6 Episodes 7 – 8 Episode 9 Impressions Episode 10 Seems aster is a type of purple flower. Why am I so worried that Shiki has uploaded her consciousness into cyberspace? I think Voyager (or was it a different Chris?) put that... Continue Reading →
#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 9
You know when you set aside time to do Important Stuff that won't take too long, so you procrastinate on everything - then you look back on that time and you realise you did almost nothing productive...? Yeah, that happened to me. That's why this post is quite late in comparison to the usual. (At... Continue Reading →
#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 7 – 8
Previous eps. The Perfect Insider 1 – 2 The Perfect Insider 3 – 4 The Perfect Insider 5 – 6 Impressions Episode 7 Oh! The episodes are called “chapters”! I don’t think I’ve documented that before. Are those taxidermied butterflies in the background…? The subs said “him”, but I’m fairly sure they were referring to... Continue Reading →
#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 5 – 6
Previous Episodes Episodes 1 – 2 Episodes 3 – 4 Episode 5 I don’t know where the “It isn’t.” is attached to. Well…at least the shirt is plot-relevant, now. *Moe eats plain toast* - Wow, plain bread??? Isn’t that…dry? Where would someone store a severed hand? It reminds me of a case in Detective Conan...

#AniTwitWatches Round 6: The Perfect Insider 3 – 4
Previous Eps Eps 1 - 2 Episode 3 I presume “rain girl” means she brings misfortune upon whatever she goes to, like rain during outings on supposedly sunny days. Aside from communism and blood, I thought of red as being for romance because of roses and hearts, which are traditionally depicted as red. Also Magata’s... Continue Reading →

Welcome, everyone, to another round of #AniTwitWatches. If you're new to this neck of the woods, you might want to see round 3 or round 5 to see how I handle this post (there's no rounds 1, 2 or 4 because I'd seen those shows already) or see this post to know what #AniTwitWatches is. Episode... Continue Reading →
