Quick Reviews: Buddy Daddies, Blue Lock, High Card, Campfire Cooking, Benriya Saitou

It’s time for a second round of quick reviews. I might even do a third round after this, but I’m still undecided on it. Some of the shows I watched weren’t very interesting and it feels a bit weird to talk about a bunch of sequels. Most people will either already know what they think … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Buddy Daddies, Blue Lock, High Card, Campfire Cooking, Benriya Saitou →

Vol 2: Chapter Thirteen – Family

“I came as soon as I could, your highness,” Jeremiah Starfire arrived so quickly after Cobal had sent a servant out that he wasn’t even really ready yet. They were in a meeting room near the palace entrance. Mana, Mirgia, Kimi and Cobal were all present.“I hope I didn’t interrupt anything,” Cobal replied.Jeremiah shook his … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Thirteen – Family →

One Piece Volume 13

Last week we made it to the end of the East Blue Saga and entered the Grand Line. I remember thinking that we had to be in the endgame now, when I watched them traverse the reverse mountain for the first time. Then immediately we’re introduced to a large organization with assassins? How can this … Continue reading One Piece Volume 13 →

Kintsugi

I’ve spent ten years, ten years in a bitter chemical haze. That’s the chorus of Fall Out Boy’s “The Kintsugi Kid”.I’ve had the topic of Kintsugi in my back pocket for a while now and I’ve even written up a draft or two over the past few months only to ultimately decide there wasn’t much … Continue reading Kintsugi →

Quick Reviews: Kaina, Onimai, Sugar Apple, Ice Guy & Tomo-Chan

As we reach the end of the winter 2023 season it’s time to start talking about the shows that aired during this season. I watched way too many shows this past season, to the point that I was regularly behind on schedule and had to binge for a few hours to try and catch up … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Kaina, Onimai, Sugar Apple, Ice Guy & Tomo-Chan →

The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Four

A mind made up Maharis IV“She’s gone over to the other side, hasn’t she?” the old man asked sorrowfully.Ianari stood behind him, at the top of the riverbank, staring off into the distance with him.“She left not too long after she arrived. Said that she didn’t want to stay here and watch you grieve.”“I suppose … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Four →

Vol 2: Chapter Twelve – Lady Diana Vadier

“Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet yourselves as his majesty the king will speak to you all.” The announcer sounded incredibly clear through the entire hall and the sound of voices very quickly died down. Cobal joined his parents on the stage and he saw Cyanna stand nearby. His other brother wasn’t in the capital right … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Twelve – Lady Diana Vadier →

Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 13

Here we are then, the final episode of this season. What I was expecting from this series run time has come true and they’ve already announced a fifth season. Not only that, but it’s coming out this summer! That’s something really cool to look forward to. It’s not technically a split-cour series, but it might … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 13 →

One Piece Volume 12 + Thoughts on the East Blue Saga

We’ve made it to Volume 12, the first volume that says “Baroque Works” on the spine. Some quick math on my end reveals that this means we are a quarter into the year already. Can you believe that? As I’m writing this I’m not feeling great. I’m on the fence about going to work tomorrow, … Continue reading One Piece Volume 12 + Thoughts on the East Blue Saga →

So Much (For) Stardust

I’ve never done an album review before. I’ve talked about a few albums on this blog before, but I don’t have a lot of musical knowledge. Half the time I like a track and go to find out music critics’ opinions on it only to find out that they think it’s a bad song. So … Continue reading So Much (For) Stardust →
