Last season I considered covering the anime Tensura Nikki on a weekly basis. I ended up deciding against it, since it’s a slice of life anime and I figured there wouldn’t be a ton to talk about. In hindsight I think there was more content than I expected, but there’s no use wondering what could … Continue reading Tensura Season 2 (Part 2) – Episode 1

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 7
This volume's cover art, are they looking at the train coming up? I know that it’s been a little while since we last did one of these, but I finally got the chance to sit down and read volume 7 of The Ancient Magus Bride. In the meantime I did manage to catch up on … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 7
Quick Reviews: Seijou no maryoku, Hige wo Soru & Sayonara, watashi no Cramer.
Here we are again for the second (and last) quick reviews of the season. I admittedly didn’t watch a ton of shows. There are a few on my plan to watch list, but we all know how that tends to go. Here I want to highlight three good shows that I think might have fallen … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Seijou no maryoku, Hige wo Soru & Sayonara, watashi no Cramer.
Quick Reviews: Isekai Maou, Shakunetsu Kabaddi & Mashiro no Oto
How NOT to summon a demon-lord (Isekai Maou) I think no one was really expecting this series to get a sequel, and for good reason. The first show had some fun gags, but besides that there was really nothing more to it than poorly executed fanservice and a generic plot. Since it got a second … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Isekai Maou, Shakunetsu Kabaddi & Mashiro no Oto
Enter Jue Viole Grace (ToG Recap part 3)
I’ll be honest about the early storylines of season 2. I wasn’t a big fan. I generally don’t like the sudden perspective swap to a new character and initially I wasn’t a fan of Wangnan. He felt too much like a main character (and I suppose that’s kind of the point). He’s boring. He still … Continue reading Enter Jue Viole Grace (ToG Recap part 3)
Bo Burnham’s “Inside” is a must watch
Could I interest you in everything, all of the time? A little bit of everything, all of the time? Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime, Anything and everything all of the time. Today we’ll be doing something different from normal. Yesterday I had the pleasure of sitting down and watching Bo Burnham’s latest … Continue reading Bo Burnham’s “Inside” is a must watch
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
So far the tone of each volume has been set by the intensity of the volume covers. So when I initially saw the dark colors of this volume cover I was worried it was going to be a particularly dark volume. And sure, there’s some dark moments and story beats in this volume but I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
Bam & Rachel (Tower of God Recap part 2)
Last week we talked about Bam and Rachel arriving in the tower through unusual means. They went through the first test with Headon, in a sense, and made it through the initial tests. We met a lot of the important characters for this story and now it’s time for everyone to do their individual tests. … Continue reading Bam & Rachel (Tower of God Recap part 2)
Evankhell’s Hell (Tower of God Recap)
With the very exciting news that Tower of God will soon return (30th of May on the Webtoon app), I figured it would be a good idea to read the entire thing from the start again. It’s been over half a year since I read it, and I’d been looking for an excuse for a … Continue reading Evankhell’s Hell (Tower of God Recap)
5 Games that helped me through the pandemic.
We’ve all been stuck indoors for a long time now. Personally I’ve taken the covid-regulations very seriously. Maybe too serious from time to time. I just do well with order and rules, and less so with chaos. If there are clear rules, I’m going to follow them. Especially if they also make sense to me. … Continue reading 5 Games that helped me through the pandemic.
