Hello, is this thing on? I know my Friday posts are reserved for manga related content, and some of it has been more about anime than manga, but there is other content coming, don’t worry.

Initially I was going to write a piece talking about different Japanese artists, and what I liked about them. After two attempts of writing up a list I still wasn’t quite happy with what I wrote down. It had great artists, but the content had quickly turned into a boring list, with my writing adding … Continue reading 10 Amazing anime opening themes!
Bungou Stray Dogs Volume 1
Bungou stray dogs is a story of a genre that is right up my alley. I love fantasy elements set within modern day worlds. I used to not be into this genre at all when I was younger. I was one of those elitists that thought high fantasy like Lord of the Rings was gospel … Continue reading Bungou Stray Dogs Volume 1
Yuru Camp is peak happiness
When I was young, my parents often took us camping. In the early years we would go and rent out a spot with a tent, and then be there for a while. Later we switched to those holiday homes.

Today I’ll be looking at some of the anime that have stood out so far during the winter season. It’s been a very stacked season and a lot of the shows I’ve been watching are sequels.

The Webtoon anime adaptations were underwhelming
And here's why: I wrote the first draft for this about two months ago, when the Noblesse anime had just started airing and I was about one third of the way through the God of Highschool webtoon. When I finished writing it I wasn’t quite confident in what I wrote so I decided to put … Continue reading The Webtoon anime adaptations were underwhelming
I’ll keep you my dirty little secret.
A review of parental love in Kakushigoto It did not take long for me to realize what kind of anime Kakushigoto was. By the end of the first episode I had resigned myself to the knowledge that at the end of this 12 week ride, I would be bawling my eyes out. And bawling I … Continue reading I’ll keep you my dirty little secret.
I watched Spirited Away.
I consider myself to be a veteran fan of anime, manga and all things adjacent. I pride myself on having seen a lot of shows of all genres and makes. Until recently though, there was one small thing I didn’t like to admit. I had never seen a Studio Ghibli movie. I know what you’re … Continue reading I watched Spirited Away.
