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 →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 11

I don't actually remember the name of the guy in the hoodie if I'm totally honest with you guys.

We met a whole cast of colorful characters that I’ve half forgotten, but a … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 11 →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 10

We’re already at volume 10, time really does fly when you’re having fun. I currently have access to 15 volumes in total, and I don’t think that will change anytime soon.

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 5

So as most of you will have noticed, I forgot to write a review next week. I even posted on twitter that it would be there a day later, and then I ended up completely forgetting about it.

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 9

Elias stopping Chise, but not as aggressively as in the volume. Last week I took a different approach to writing these blook club reviews. Instead of writing as I go through the manga, I waited until I read the entire volume before starting. And I honestly prefered that method, so for the time being that’s … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 9 →

Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 2

Last week was a little bit of a slow week when it came to things happening. A part of it was just remembering what happened in the previous cour, and the introduction of Veldora to the main cast. Nearing the end the politics started with Gazel and Elalude showing up to talk to Rimuru about … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 2 →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 8

The art always looks great Normally I write these reviews in tandem with reading the manga itself. I tend to read a chapter and then write down my thoughts. Today went a little differently. I went to visit some friends for a nice day of Dungeons & Dragons. I play a human monk based on … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 8 →
