One Piece Volume 41 is the single best manga volume ever written and it’s not even remotely close. This entire Water Seven Saga has been a blast from the very start, but this volume has one of my absolute favorite moments in the entire series as well as the backstory of my favorite character whose … Continue reading One Piece Volume 41 – Peak Fiction

A hop, a skip and a loafer
Honestly, same. I’ve been consuming and creating stories for over 20 years now. Don’t make fun of my age, I’m sensitive. Either way, there’s one thing that has been consistent throughout the good stories I’ve consumed. The best stories have good character writing. It’s very simple. Your worldbuilding can be amazing, your action scenes can … Continue reading A hop, a skip and a loafer
Horimiya: Piece by piece
When the original season of Horimiya aired, I wasn’t convinced. I enjoyed the show a lot, but it is rated incredibly high and hailed as an absolutely amazing manga in the romance genre. To me it felt much more like a solid romance anime that had a good beginning, middle and end. So why is … Continue reading Horimiya: Piece by piece
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 (Final)
If you’re still here then congratulations, you’re caught up on the entire story of Bungo Stray Dogs. Well, maybe not the entire story, since there are many novels and spin-offs, but the manga’s main story is done. Better yet, as far as I’m aware some of the things that happened in today’s episode have yet … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 (Final)
One Piece Volume 37
I forgot to upload this yesterday, in my defense, I was tired. With the recent release of the One Piece live action series as well as both the anime and manga being at amazing moments in the story, One Piece is riding a wave of popularity right now that is hard to understate. I watched … Continue reading One Piece Volume 37
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 10
Today we’re talking about the penultimate episode of season 5. Apparently we’re so close to the manga now that this episode covered moments from a manga chapter released this month. I’m not a manga reader (I’ve only read the first volume and two of the light novels), so I don’t know how accurate that is, … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 10
Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife
Spice & Wolf was the very first light novel I ever bought. I bought this even before I ever bought a single manga volume or figure or anything related to anime and manga. The original Spice & Wolf anime was probably the first anime that really stuck with me. For a long time I considered … Continue reading Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9
The unfortunate downside of Fukichi abandoning his search for Aya is that he can now aim his attention elsewhere. And that ‘elsewhere’ turns out to be the Detective Agency members. To be more specific, Tanizaki and Kunikida are in big trouble. But it seems like Atsushi is in even bigger trouble. He’s being held captive … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 8
Almost unsurprisingly after the hints we got last week, Teruko is definitely still an enemy. After Atsushi comes across an inconsistency in her story, he gets turned into a child by her powers. That’s right, we’re jumping straight into it. The opening plays early this week as well, I hope that’s a sign that there’s … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 8
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 7
It’s Bungo Stray Dogs day. I had my first day of teaching at a new job yesterday and one of my students asked about One Piece (I showed off my bookshelves in some pictures like a proper nerd) and I answered her question of “do you watch One Piece” with “Yes, and I have been … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 7
