The bird is dead

I first joined Twitter all the way back in 2012. At least that’s what my account says. I remember having another account before it, then making a new one when I switched email addresses and wanted a cooler username. Throughout the years I used Twitter to keep in touch with some of my friends (this … Continue reading The bird is dead →

One Piece – Volume 29

Most One Piece volumes are pretty similar in size and don’t take all that long to read. Probably less than half an hour on average. Volume 29 is a hefty one. Let’s not waste time and let’s jump right into it. We can summarize the first couple chapters pretty easily. Robin defeats Yama, the leader … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 29 →

Quick Reviews: My Clueless Friend, Jigokuraku & Heavenly Delusion

My Clueless First Friend Bullying sucks. I was bullied back in high school. I don’t remember all that much of those years, mainly because I blocked out a lot of the bad memories. I only realized this pretty recently, but what can you do about it? For a long time I was really sad about … Continue reading Quick Reviews: My Clueless Friend, Jigokuraku & Heavenly Delusion →

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 2

Bungo Stray Dogs dispelling the idea of ACAB right now, one grand conspiracy at a time. This is how it should be in the real world though. If cops are doing bad things, the good cops should stand up en masse. I’m sure it’ll happen any day now. This is what good cops look like. … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 2 →

One Piece – Volume 28

Where last volume we were bombarded with lore and worldbuilding, this volume we spend most of our time with fights and scraps in and around the island. I’m guessing this recap will end up being a lot shorter than some of the others, but that’s fine too. Wapol’s mini-arc gets completed in this volume by … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 28 →

The cover for this volume shows us Chise, Philomela and Alcyone. But who is Chise reaching for here?

I have been patiently waiting for this eighteenth volume of The Ancient Magus Bride and I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 18 →

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 1

I don’t want to imply that I’m still half awake, but I just tried to title this document by editing the url and not the post title. I caught it in time though. Crisis averted. Speaking of crises, when the previous season of Bungo Stray Dogs ended, things were not looking particularly well for the … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 1 →

One Piece Volume 27

Isn’t it crazy that this manga is giving Wapol a better character arc than some main characters get in other stories? Maybe that’s an exaggeration but the fact that a disgraced and defeated king turns into a toy vendor is a wild direction to take. I don’t believe this stuff was ever added to the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 27 →
