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. But before I get completely distracted, I do want to talk about it a little bit. Not so much … Continue reading Blue Period blew me away →

5 Shows to watch out for in Fall 2021

It’s already almost November, and with the spooky season soon behind us it’s time to get cozy and start preparing for the cold winter. At least over here it still gets a bit cold in winter, although not as much as when I was younger. Damn you global warming. But it’s still a good time … Continue reading 5 Shows to watch out for in Fall 2021 →

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 →

Quick Reviews: Uramichi Oniisan, Peach Boy Riverside, Bokutachi no Remake

I love doing these quick reviews, but I generally prefer talking about shows I would recommend in these. I know there’s merit in objective reviewing and showing both sides of the coin, but that’s not what I like to do. Not when writing a review, at least. I like to just gush about the shows … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Uramichi Oniisan, Peach Boy Riverside, Bokutachi no Remake →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 12

Volume 12 cover, showing Philomela in the background Hello everyone!As you might have noticed, it has been a little while since I last posted a volume review here. I know I promised I’d do one every two weeks, and I’m hoping to once again commit to doing so, but it hasn’t been very successful lately. … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 12 →

Quick Reviews: Realist Hero, Seirei Gensouki, Tsukimichi.

It’s that time of the season again. We’ve just finished up the summer season anime, and it’s time to take a look back at what we watched and if we would recommend it to other people. I didn’t watch a great amount of new shows this season. At least not new ones that ended. But … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Realist Hero, Seirei Gensouki, Tsukimichi. →

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 11

My keyboard is in need of cleaning. I’ll be honest that I haven’t really done so often. I’ve cleaned the top of the keys regularly of course, but underneath it looks less appealing, so to speak. The main reason why this is of importance is because my “o” key regularly gets stuck and gives twice … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 11 →

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 10

Let’s go through it step by step and I’ll give you my thoughts. First we are once again introduced to all the … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 10 →

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 9

Things are finally advancing quickly, after a very enjoyable, but slow start to the season. Since this episode really set the stage for the upcoming discussions, I think it's for the best to look at this episode a little bit differently than normal. I will be skipping around through what happens today, so bear with … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 9 →

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 8

So after 7 full episodes of build-up we finally get into the fights themselves. I’ve seen a fair bit of discourse on reddit over the weeks about how this show is taking too long to build up and it’s spent 7 episodes on 1 episode of pay-off. I agree with this sentiment in theory, but … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 8 →
