My thoughts on the wizard game

When I was around ten or eleven years olds I found myself reading this book about a young wizard boy and his friends. I was immediately enthralled by the concept and eventually got so impatient that I learned English just so I could read the second book that had not been translated yet. I don’t … Continue reading My thoughts on the wizard game →

One Piece Volume 5

Five volumes read, another 100 or so to go. I recognize now that this journey might take a while. Which is fine but I do worry I’ll reach a point where I don’t want to stop reading. I might have to read ahead and get back to the volumes up for discussion each week. I … Continue reading One Piece Volume 5 →

Consent in anime

I only have some quick thoughts about this topic, so it’ll be a short post. I was watching an anime earlier that’s currently airing called The angel next door spoils me rotten. It’s a cute anime about two neighbors slowly falling in love with each other. You’ve seen many of these sorts of stories throughout … Continue reading Consent in anime →

Vol 2: Chapter Five – The scene of the crime

Cobal and company followed the group of mages to the royal quarters. Barradan had permission to go to the quarters of the former crown prince, albeit only under the watchful eye of four senior palace guards. With Cobal there that probably wasn’t necessary, but having experienced the strange magics that are at play first hand, … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Five – The scene of the crime →

Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 5

It’s that time of the week again. I’m excited to see more of Ranpo getting himself into bad situations with no proper plan to get out of them. Or perhaps he’s grown since the last time and he now knows what he’s doing. I’m doubtful, but we’re here to find out. Let’s get to it … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 5 →

One Piece Volume 4

Alright, we’ve made our way to volume 4. It’s going to be February by the time I’m posting this, can you believe how fast time flies. I still remember deciding on this idea for 2023 and beginning to read the volumes like it was yesterday. It’s a good way to get my fill of One … Continue reading One Piece Volume 4 →

The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Two

The Princess and the snowstorm Maharis II “If you don’t mind me calling you that, of course,” the elderly man said to the woman standing behind the bar. She picked up another patron’s empty glass and doused it in water before cleaning it with a cloth, never quite breaking eye contact with him. There was … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Two →

Why aren’t there more superheroes?

This past weekend, popular youtuber and regular philanthropist MrBeast dropped this video. In this video, MrBeast and his team help 1000 people by financing a small operation that drastically improves their sight. This is a 10 minute procedure that is more or less free (or very affordable) in modern countries like The Netherlands, where I … Continue reading Why aren’t there more superheroes? →

Don’t sleep on Buddy Daddies

I picked up a lot of shows at the start of this season. There were even too many and I had to drop some of the weaker pilots. One show that was on the edge of being eliminated was Buddy Daddies. A different take on Spy x Family is what it looked like. I wasn’t … Continue reading Don’t sleep on Buddy Daddies →

Vol 2: Chapter Four – A meeting of the magical minds

Cobal didn’t have to sit on his own for long as Mana and Kimi happened to come in for lunch not long after he did. He’d hoped the bustle and business of the general mess hall would take his mind off of the seriousness of the situation they were in and it was helping a … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Four – A meeting of the magical minds →
