Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded

It seems like getting access to new Bleach episodes on Monday is going to be tough, especially to then also review them. So instead we’ll move this show to Tuesday. With that said, back to Hueco Mundo where Kurosaki Ichigo and Nel confront Quilge and his men. Ichigo also instantly recognizes his teleporting techniques as … Continue reading Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded →

Likeable characters

Maybe I’m getting old. Maybe I’m just going soft. But as of late I find myself enjoying more laidback shows a lot, as opposed to the more intense shows. I really felt this sentiment when I just watched two shows back to back. I started by watching Beast Tamer and followed it by watching Blue … Continue reading Likeable characters →

Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best

It’s the fall holiday right now and it’s officially been about 2 months since I started my (hopefully) final internship as a teacher. I’ve started properly teaching at this point and I’m getting decently used to my new environment. Which is good because the first essays and exams are getting awfully close. Early November I’m … Continue reading Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best →

Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil

I can’t believe it’s once again time for a weekly Bleach episode. It’s been so long since I experienced that weekly that it feels strange. We see Ywach talking to one of his subordinates who’s on the ground writhing in pain. From there we jump into the opening theme which is very pink. Not that … Continue reading Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil →

Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2

We’re in the final stretch of it all now. If Bleach ended with this arc I would have probably rated it a lot higher than I currently do. Like many though, I still have hope that Kubo makes some serious improvements to the final arc. A lot of the issues people had with the Thousand … Continue reading Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2 →

Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1

It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it? The final episode of Bleach dropped in March 2012. Over a decade ago. I was still studying business economics at uni, not even the slightest hint of an idea that I would one day become a teacher. At that point in time I knew about my autism for … Continue reading Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1 →

Some thoughts on writing The Hesitant Hero

I have a lot to say about the Hesitant Hero. Some of which I've already said, most of which I'll probably talk about twelve more times before I finally realize no one else is interested in this information. As a teacher, I've learned that reflecting on the work you've done is crucial in growing, so … Continue reading Some thoughts on writing The Hesitant Hero →

Bleach Recap #11: The End of Aizen Part 1

How did we get here so fast? We've already reached the conclusion of what I consider to be the main arc of Bleach. We've been working towards Aizen's defeat since early Soul Society, after all. That's roughly 300 episodes, or about a bit more than half that if we don't count fillers. We leave the … Continue reading Bleach Recap #11: The End of Aizen Part 1 →

Quick Reviews: Harem in another world labyrinth, My stepmom’s daughter is my ex, Yakuza Babysitter

Edit: These shows need to stop having names the size of that one Welsh town, because putting three of them in one title is barely possible at this point. The summer season had a lot of shows that I have a strong opinion about. For that reason, I only ended up with about three shows … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Harem in another world labyrinth, My stepmom’s daughter is my ex, Yakuza Babysitter →

Turning 30

Oh boy it’s finally time, isn’t it? I’m turning 30 today. For some reason we feel like we’re going to live forever when we’re young and then before we really realize it our 20s are over and we’re supposed to be adults. I think I took a wrong path somewhere in life because I don’t … Continue reading Turning 30 →
