I know, I know, it’s probably not the most logical thing to say as someone who regularly reviews manga and anime, but I think it’s still good advice. Let me explain myself. After a friend of mine recommended that I watch the recent Kaiju No. 8, I went and binged the entire show in a … Continue reading Stay away from negative reviews

One Piece Volume 76
We’re deep into the action of Dressrosa now. There’s much to talk about, so let’s not waste any time. We’ll start with Kin’emon and Kanjuro. Kin’emon’s primary reason for wanting to come to Dressrosa is to find Kanjuro, his samurai companion that he got separated from after something happened. This has been his sole reason … Continue reading One Piece Volume 76
Roses, thorns and the French revolution
When I first started watching anime - or at least started watching it while understanding that they were cartoons made in Japan - it was 2009. I was 17 years old. Because that time is when I got into anime properly, I’ve mainly watched shows that came out in the 2010s and the 2020s. I’ve … Continue reading Roses, thorns and the French revolution
One Piece Volume 75
With Sugar being down and out for the count, it seems like the tide might finally turn on Dressrosa.

We’re now well into the middle of Dressrosa and that explains why this volume is so thick. It feels bigger than most of the other volumes in this box and a lot happens, so strap in. Just like with the last volume, let’s go through each important story separately instead of getting too focused on … Continue reading One Piece Volume 74

Last week we introduced a whole new colorful cast with all the participants in Doflamingo’s big coliseum. And let’s not forget what’s on the line: The Mera Mera no Mi. Ace’s old devil fruit grew somewhere and then Doflamingo got his hands on it. Luffy of course doesn’t want this fruit to go to the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 72

Quick Reviews – Winter 2024
Surprise, a bonus upload! I didn’t watch a lot of anime during the winter season. I say that, but I still kept up with more than a dozen of shows at all times. I guess it’s just not as much compared to the unhealthy amount I watched in the past. Of the shows I watched, … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Winter 2024
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
I consider myself to be an author. I write stories and I have been doing so since I was quite young, breaks aside. Whenever I read or consume other stories, I try to not only enjoy them for what they are, but I also like to look at what makes them work or what doesn’t … Continue reading Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
