My oh my it’s here and I still don’t know how to feel about it. I recently finished this arc of Made in Abyss in the manga, seeing that the English volumes are a little bit behind the Japanese ones for obvious reasons. I think Made in Abyss might be the only manga I’ve ever … Continue reading Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun – Episode 1

Quick Reviews: Deaimon, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road & Love after world domination
Deaimon From the very first moment this show started I was immediately transported back to my early anime watching days. In particular I was reminded of one anime that is very near and dear to my heart and I should definitely rewatch in the near future; Barakamon. The setup is similar in a way, but … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Deaimon, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road & Love after world domination
Bleach Recap #0: My road to Bleach
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.

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)

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

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
