I’ll be honest about the early storylines of season 2. I wasn’t a big fan. I generally don’t like the sudden perspective swap to a new character and initially I wasn’t a fan of Wangnan. He felt too much like a main character (and I suppose that’s kind of the point). He’s boring. He still … Continue reading Enter Jue Viole Grace (ToG Recap part 3)

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
So far the tone of each volume has been set by the intensity of the volume covers. So when I initially saw the dark colors of this volume cover I was worried it was going to be a particularly dark volume. And sure, there’s some dark moments and story beats in this volume but I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
Bam & Rachel (Tower of God Recap part 2)
Last week we talked about Bam and Rachel arriving in the tower through unusual means. They went through the first test with Headon, in a sense, and made it through the initial tests. We met a lot of the important characters for this story and now it’s time for everyone to do their individual tests. … Continue reading Bam & Rachel (Tower of God Recap part 2)
May 2021 – Monthly Playlist
When I think of the month May and music I think of Justin Timberlake’s “interesting pronunciation of the word me” which sounds like he said “It’s gonna be may.” Have I mentioned I unironically like boy band era Justin Timberlake? N-sync was something special. Not to mention Backstreet Boys, Westlife and arguably the best boyband: … Continue reading May 2021 – Monthly Playlist
Evankhell’s Hell (Tower of God Recap)
With the very exciting news that Tower of God will soon return (30th of May on the Webtoon app), I figured it would be a good idea to read the entire thing from the start again. It’s been over half a year since I read it, and I’d been looking for an excuse for a … Continue reading Evankhell’s Hell (Tower of God Recap)
5 Games that helped me through the pandemic.
We’ve all been stuck indoors for a long time now. Personally I’ve taken the covid-regulations very seriously. Maybe too serious from time to time. I just do well with order and rules, and less so with chaos. If there are clear rules, I’m going to follow them. Especially if they also make sense to me. … Continue reading 5 Games that helped me through the pandemic.

The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 5
The covers and color pages in this manga are beautiful every single time. I know I’ve been slacking when it comes to both reading and writing but I can only apologize. The little time I did devote to reading this past week ended up on starting a reread of Tower of God. I heard from … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 5
Tensura Nikki Episode 5 – An unreasonably lengthy review
Most anime seasons I end up getting obsessed with at least one or two shows. And for this particular season that is definitely Slime Diaries, or Tensura Nikki.For those unfamiliar with Tensura let me give a quick explanation. Our main character, Rimiru, died while protecting a coworker from an attacker with a knife. He was … Continue reading Tensura Nikki Episode 5 – An unreasonably lengthy review
