I probably should have started my rewatch of Bleach a lot sooner. I wanted to include all of the fillers in my rewatch as well to make sure I see all of it again before the new season starts in October. Unfortunately, there are only about three months left, which means I have to consistently … Continue reading Bleach Recap #0: My road to Bleach

Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero
Whenever I do (quick) reviews I tend to exclude sequels. Mainly because most people have either chosen to watch or not watch the original of the series. This time around I had an opinion on three sequels this season that I wanted to get out, so I figured I’d combine them. I’ll try and avoid … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero
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?
Komi’s relatability
There have been a lot of romantic comedy shows that follow a similar template lately. There’s a guy and a girl, and the girl almost always has a quirk of sorts that makes her unique. It’s a pretty simple concept that’s fairly popular. Uzaki-chan from Uzaki-chan wa asobitai is constantly teasing our main character, Nagatoro … Continue reading Komi’s relatability
AMVs – a relic from the past
Maybe 13 or 14 years ago I watched a video of a strange cartoon that I’d never seen before. The song Until the day I die by Story of the Year was blasting from my pc speakers, you know the built in ones that sounded like total crap but you were glad you had something, … Continue reading AMVs – a relic from the past
The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5)
Whenever I’m in my room after dinner, playing games, writing, reading or doing something else, I’ll often go downstairs to get a coffee and chat with my dad for a bit. He’s sitting there alone most evenings, since my parents are divorced. Obviously he doesn’t mind, he’s got his snacks, his bejeweled knock-off games and … Continue reading The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5)
Some (anime) song recommendations
After writing my 6 shows to look out for post, I realized that there has been some absolutely fantastic music lately in anime, and I just wanted to quickly highlight some of my favorites. So let’s do just that, in this little bonus post while I procrastinate editing once more. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by … Continue reading Some (anime) song recommendations
6 Shows to look out for in spring 2022
It’s that time of the season again. Spring is in the air. Okay, it may have rained here in the morning and I stayed in bed until it stopped. But that’s part of the spring experience, is it not? You know what’s also a part of the spring experience? A brand new season full of … Continue reading 6 Shows to look out for in spring 2022
I loved Ousama Ranking (Spoilers)
It’s not often I watch an anime that completely transports me to another world. I used to get this feeling a lot more when I was younger. One Piece, Bleach, Naruto and even early Fairy Tail would make me feel like my worries are no longer an issue and let me just enjoy the world … Continue reading I loved Ousama Ranking (Spoilers)
Ousama Ranking Review (no spoilers)
I got into this show a few weeks after it started airing because initially the artstyle seemed a bit childish. What I didn’t realize is that this artstyle gives the anime a charm that you don’t really see in other shows that much. It both looks adorable yet believable at the same time. And it … Continue reading Ousama Ranking Review (no spoilers)
