So for those of you unaware, Bo Burnham recently posted an outtakes video to his special “Inside” It was a lot of material that just wasn’t used during the special but still interesting to watch. I watched the entire thing and thought it was pretty funny, but obviously it didn’t have the same kind of … Continue reading The inside outtakes

Komi’s relatability
There have been a lot of romantic comedy shows that follow a similar template lately. There’s a guy and a girl, and the girl almost always has a quirk of sorts that makes her unique. It’s a pretty simple concept that’s fairly popular. Uzaki-chan from Uzaki-chan wa asobitai is constantly teasing our main character, Nagatoro … Continue reading Komi’s relatability
Spice & Wolf Volume 5 Review
I feel like every time I start a new volume of this novel series I start by saying that this is the last novel that has story elements I recognize from the anime. Maybe with the exception of volume 4. Now that we’re in volume 5, I found even more characters I remember. I really … Continue reading Spice & Wolf Volume 5 Review
The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5)
Whenever I’m in my room after dinner, playing games, writing, reading or doing something else, I’ll often go downstairs to get a coffee and chat with my dad for a bit. He’s sitting there alone most evenings, since my parents are divorced. Obviously he doesn’t mind, he’s got his snacks, his bejeweled knock-off games and … Continue reading The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5)

You know what’s also a part of the spring experience? A brand new season full of … Continue reading 6 Shows to look out for in spring 2022
Spice & Wolf Volume 4
After three solid volumes we’re finally approaching unknown territory. Although I’d forgotten about some of the stuff that the anime covered from the first three volumes (cut me some slack, it’s been over a decade) I did remember the major plot elements once they were presented properly. Volume four is what I assume the upcoming … Continue reading Spice & Wolf Volume 4
I loved Ousama Ranking (Spoilers)
It’s not often I watch an anime that completely transports me to another world. I used to get this feeling a lot more when I was younger. One Piece, Bleach, Naruto and even early Fairy Tail would make me feel like my worries are no longer an issue and let me just enjoy the world … Continue reading I loved Ousama Ranking (Spoilers)
Ousama Ranking Review (no spoilers)
I got into this show a few weeks after it started airing because initially the artstyle seemed a bit childish. What I didn’t realize is that this artstyle gives the anime a charm that you don’t really see in other shows that much. It both looks adorable yet believable at the same time. And it … Continue reading Ousama Ranking Review (no spoilers)
Vanitas no Carte and the importance of aesthetics
As of writing this, we’re 8 episodes into the second season of Vanitas no Carte, or the Case Study of Vanitas. That means I’ve watched twenty episodes of this show. And yet I’m not invested in the story at all. It just doesn’t really interest me that much.For those unfamiliar with Vanitas let me give … Continue reading Vanitas no Carte and the importance of aesthetics
Encanto (My review)
I just made something unexpected. Something sharp, something new. It’s not symmetrical or perfect, But it’s beautiful and it’s mine. What else can I do? Antonio is absolutely adorable and such a good kid. The joy of creating something new and exciting transcends artforms. Be it music, writing, drawing or magically creating flora, there’s a … Continue reading Encanto (My review)
