Fairy, where you going?

When looking for pictures to use for this review, I thought for a moment this was Lucy from Fairy Tail, but instead it's Rebecca from Mashima's current manga: Eden's Zero. She has cat ears on so I decided to include it anyway. When I first started watching anime as a teenager, and I mean watching … Continue reading Fairy, where you going? →

Believing in your body

I’ve been having a lot of health issues over the past years. I’ve talked openly about some and I’ve not talked about others. If I compare my mental health today to any day over the past year, I’d say it’s probably better than any of those days. It’s not quite great yet, but it’s definitely … Continue reading Believing in your body →

Chapter Twenty-one – The sage’s lessons

“Adjust your stance to what I’m showing you. You don’t have to completely abandon what you’ve learned, but try to adjust, okay? If you move your hips slightly lower and keep the knees bent you have way more flexibility.

“I don’t understand.” Cobal’s mind was racing but he couldn’t understand what he had just heard. “You don’t mean they killed him themselves right?

The return of Hunter x Hunter

There are few anime and manga out there that are as universally liked as Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter.

I’ve heard people say that it could have been … Continue reading The return of Hunter x Hunter →

Spice & Wolf Volume 5 Review

I feel like every time I start a new volume of this novel series I start by saying that this is the last novel that has story elements I recognize from the anime. Maybe with the exception of volume 4. Now that we’re in volume 5, I found even more characters I remember. I really … Continue reading Spice & Wolf Volume 5 Review →

Anxiety in animals

I’ve been delivering mail for almost seven years at this point. Whenever summer comes around there’s always lots of insects. Little flies and other critters will land on my bike.
