I have to admit that I’ve struggled to write this post properly for a while now. I think this is at least my fifth draft. I don’t know why, it’s a topic I’m passionate about, but I just can’t get it written in a quality way. Perhaps this is the one. And if not, you’ll … Continue reading Exploring the genre: Sports Anime

Black Clover is stupid
I’ve been wanting to write about Black Clover for a while now. The shonen anime based on the manga by Yuki Tabata has finished already, although a sequel is very much possible seeing that the manga is still going in full swing.

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 14
The Volume 14 cover showing Chise, Zoe and Philomela I’m well aware it’s been a little while, and I can only apologize.

Blue Period blew me away
Obvious spoiler warning for the Blue Period anime. Blue Period will probably not end up being my number 1 anime of the fall 2021 season. I'm not even positive it will be in the top 3.

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 13
We’re already 13 volumes into this series! And as you might remember, things turned scary at the end of the previous volume. Chise found an unconscious Lucy near the riverbank while the class from the academy was on a camping trip. Not only that, a scary looking cyclops-like being showed up, looming over our protagonists. … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 13
