The legendary pirate captain, Rocks D Xebec. The man who was once on equal footing with Roger and who was the leader of a band of fighters which included three of the modern day emperors as well as Shiki the golden lion who we’ve mostly seen in the One Piece movie Strong World, but was … Continue reading Rocks D Xebec (Manga spoilers)

10 years since Orange
At the time of watching Orange for the first time, there were not very many drama romance shows I was familiar with. I didn’t really start my (shallow) dive into romance manga yet, and shonen action was definitely still my preferred genre (alongside Isekai). So a really solid drama like Orange - although not my … Continue reading 10 years since Orange
My guilty pleasure manga
I’m slowly working on my top 10 manga list, which has proven to be quite difficult. I haven’t read nearly as many manga as I’ve watched anime, and often the reason for picking up a manga in the first place is the fact that I really enjoyed the anime and wanted more of the same, … Continue reading My guilty pleasure manga
The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21
With a rather large school arc now seemingly behind us, we returned home to the cottage at the end of the last volume, where it’s time to wind down and relax a little bit, having dealt with Philomela’s grandmother and the accompanying corruption. Yet trouble stirs almost immediately again as the actions that Chise took … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21
12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis
Welcome to a new series I’m starting in 2026 in which we will revisit old series that I personally remember fondly to see if they hold up or not. This won’t be a weekly series, but there will be regular uploads. We’re starting with Rage of Bahamut: Genesis today. 2000 years after a disastrous battle … Continue reading 12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis
One Punch
If you came here for another scathing review about the dumpster fire that is One Punch Man season 3, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. While I did watch it, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that hasn’t been said already. Instead I want to talk about another anime that involved punching, … Continue reading One Punch
Volume 110
It’s been a little while since we last covered a One Piece volume, but the latest one landed on my doormat the other day and I am excited to dive into it. Reading the chapters every week has been a ton of fun, but so much has been happening in the last few arcs that … Continue reading Volume 110
One Piece Volume 109
It’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? I checked the date on the previous volume’s post and it was back in April, which is the distant past by now. Of course I’ve been keeping up with the manga’s weekly releases and the anime as well and both have been brilliant, but it was really nice … Continue reading One Piece Volume 109
My 10 favorite anime
It is not an easy task to create a proper top 10 anime. As of writing this, my anime list has well over 1250 entries and it is ever growing. To choose my all time favorites was not easy, and I will start off this post by telling you all that this list will likely … Continue reading My 10 favorite anime
My five favorite One Piece islands
I see a lot of clickbait articles and essays on different aspects of One Piece lore whenever I accidentally swipe to the right on my phone and most of the posts about it are terrible. Let alone the AI additions lately where half the information is just plain wrong. The other day I saw someone … Continue reading My five favorite One Piece islands
