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.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

There’s something wrong with me that I want to finish every show I’ve started, even if I know I … Continue reading On Black Clover →

My favorite things in January

I was originally going to call this post “My favorite things in January” as that’s how youtuber Super Eyepatch Wolf names his videos that serve the same purpose. Obviously he didn’t invent the concept of recapping media you consumed, but it does have a very nice ring to it. If that’s the title of this … Continue reading My favorite things in January →
