Why Sakamoto Days works so well

I’ve seen a decent amount of comedic anime throughout the years, but I find that they often don’t really land for me. I’ve seen the craze for Mashle and although I know quite a few people who think it’s a hilarious show, I felt insulted by its stupidity. That’s not to say I’m above stupid … Continue reading Why Sakamoto Days works so well →

One Piece Volume 105

In the previous volume - towards the end - we learned through Robin, Law and the former lord of Wano - Kozuki Sukiyaki - that there was once a different Wano, much lower down and now fully below the ocean. Not only that, but Pluton, the ancient weapon for which Franky once destroyed the blueprints, … Continue reading One Piece Volume 105 →

One Piece Volume 103

Although I keep these blog posts free of spoilers for what happens after the volume in question, it does feel fun to me to read and write about a volume that has an absolutely major reveal in it right after the latest chapter was such a massive reveal as well. What that reveal is, you’ll … Continue reading One Piece Volume 103 →

One Piece Volume 93

Whenever Oda isn’t doing a cover story at the start of each chapter, he does requests from the audience. They’re often a little bit weird and regularly involve animals. But someone requesting a picture of “goats eating letters written by Caesar Clown”??? What kind of strange mind came up with that? I just want to … Continue reading One Piece Volume 93 →

One Piece Volume 92

Wano has been structured like a three act play, and in volume 92 we reach the end of the first act. The crew finished their conversation about the past on top of the mountain where Oden Castle stood. I’m saying ‘stood’ because within a handful of chapters, Kaido demolishes the entire building and mountaintop in … Continue reading One Piece Volume 92 →
