Spice & Wolf Volume 6 Review

We took a little bit of a hiatus but here’s volume 6. Before we dive into it, I do have to say I’ve read it in batches over a long time so some of my memories of it are a little bit spotty. I’m going to try my best to cover it properly though and … Continue reading Spice & Wolf Volume 6 Review →

Bleach Recap #2: Enter Soul Society

I remember thinking when I first watched Bleach that the Soul Society wasn’t very believable. It was this authoritarian run place where the rich elite did whatever they wanted while the poor suffered. No branch of government seemed capable of communicating with other branches and half the people in leadership positions were basically sociopaths or … Continue reading Bleach Recap #2: Enter Soul Society →

Strategem & Stardom (Paripi Koumei)

A lot of genres seem to eventually get into a groove of sorts. Writers figure out what works and what doesn’t and they adjust their stories to fit the mold. That’s fine and will create many amazing stories. If I’m completely honest with you, that’s for sure what I’m doing with my own story, Hesitant … Continue reading Strategem & Stardom (Paripi Koumei) →

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun – Episode 1

Quick Reviews: Deaimon, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road & Love after world domination

Deaimon From the very first moment this show started I was immediately transported back to my early anime watching days. In particular I was reminded of one anime that is very near and dear to my heart and I should definitely rewatch in the near future; Barakamon. The setup is similar in a way, but … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Deaimon, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road & Love after world domination →

Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero

Whenever I do (quick) reviews I tend to exclude sequels. Mainly because most people have either chosen to watch or not watch the original of the series. This time around I had an opinion on three sequels this season that I wanted to get out, so I figured I’d combine them. I’ll try and avoid … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero →
