25 Days Anime Male Challenge – Days 13/14

We're just over the halfway point... Day 13 - Anime Male with Brown Hair Brown hair gives the feeling of "some boy next door", doesn't it? Not with my choice - it's Ushii from Juuni Taisen! Ushii's entire matador look isn't something you see going on in anime a lot. Combine that with the long...

Knowledge is Too Much Power (regarding Juuni Taisen and Grimgar)

  Should one potentially innocuous spoiler ruin your entire viewing experience? One complaint people have about Juuni Taisen is that it’s too obvious where it's going to go – from the ED, you can already tell who’s going to die and who’s going to win.

A Magical 2017 pt. II (a.k.a. the Spellbook Awards)

As for today’s topic…I swear nobody knows about the fact a manga even exists for Juuni Taisen. People care about the light...

Fall 2017 Anime (and Why I Didn’t Get To This in my First Post)

I bumped Weekly Wednesday up to its proper weekly schedule instead of biweekly because I found myself way too willing to write more on a biweekly schedule. I know, I know. It’s three quarters into the season and my second week on Weekly Wednesday. Why didn’t I start with this? Well, there’s a few reasons...
