A few weeks before Christmas I got very sick with covid. I had to spend the week and a half leading up to Christmas mostly cooped up in my room. Once the worst symptoms had gone away, I needed something to take my mind off of how bad I was feeling so I decided to … Continue reading The Promised Land that Never came

The New One Piece Theme Songs
How was I not going to talk about this today? With the start of a brand new year and a brand new arc in the One Piece anime, Toei Animation delivered some amazing theme songs. Especially the new opening song is out of this world. Because it goes so heavily into the upcoming arc and … Continue reading The New One Piece Theme Songs
2023 Anime Roundup
I didn’t watch as many anime this year as I did in previous years. I ended up watching only a little over 50 new shows in 2023. That’s not a lot at all, but this was a year of high quality so there was no need to watch a lot of shows. Having said that, … Continue reading 2023 Anime Roundup
One Piece Volume 41 – Peak Fiction
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
