Unapologetically Abrasive

A large part of why I liked to watch anime and read manga is the escapism it provides. I’m often too much in my own head about romantic relationships and it is something I do not actively want to be a part of due to how much impact it would have on the rest of … Continue reading Unapologetically Abrasive →

Tensura Season 4 – Episode 3

In today’s episode we finally learn a little bit more about Maribel and her family. I had my suspicions about her - being so powerful at such a young child - but she is indeed someone who has reincarnated from another world, just like Rimuru, Yuuki, Masayuuki, Shizu, Hinata and all the others we’ve encountered … Continue reading Tensura Season 4 – Episode 3 →

Vol 5: Chapter 13 – The light of Owlana

“It looks like this doesn’t connect to the tunnel,” Doroly remarked.They were stumped by the sudden end to the tunnel. It made very little sense that such an elaborate magical trap was set up to block a dead end tunnel, so there had to be more to discover here.“Anyone good at getting rid of rock … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 13 – The light of Owlana →

My favorite opening of the Winter Season

There are shows that derive their appeal from the fun cast of characters with interesting personalities and personal problems to work through. There are shows that derive their appeal from the fun or high quality animation and artstyle that accompany an otherwise not as impressive story.

Luminous – One Piece manga spoilers

We could be giants, giants Now that we’ve had two longer breaks from the One Piece anime, I’ve really started to appreciate how nice it was to have the same show airing almost every single week for about half my life.

Tensura Season 4 – Episode 2

I really appreciate that Masayuki seems to be a decent guy and relatively appreciative of the fact that he did not earn any of his fame directly, because I feel like his character would be unbearable if he had even the slightest hint of arrogance to him. Either way, with the help of his special … Continue reading Tensura Season 4 – Episode 2 →

Vol 5: Chapter 12 – Panic after the disco

Mirgia nodded. “How did you get here, Kimi?”The feeling of joy and togetherness slowly faded and Mirgia was now left with an empty sadness instead. Things had been so incredibly peaceful.

Then a high pitched noise rang through his ears and suddenly … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 12 – Panic after the disco →

Quick Reviews – Winter 2026

It’s the end of the winter season and although it’s a season that felt dominated by some incredible sequels and quickly overshadowed by the upcoming season - for me at least - it still ended up having some very good anime. In the next few weeks, we’ll look back on a season full of surprises. … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Winter 2026 →

Tensura Season 4 – Episode 1

We are so back. We open on a quick recap of the founding ceremony of the Jura Tempest federation which we watched in the second half of season 3.

Vol 5: Chapter 11 – The mighty spirit of music

Something had been bothering Kimi for several days. She knew that the strange teleportation trap that Mirgia, herself and some of the others present at the raid fell into could not have been planned. At least not to the point that they would know that she specifically went here. Yet the priests she was accompanying … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 11 – The mighty spirit of music →
