Honestly, same. I’ve been consuming and creating stories for over 20 years now. Don’t make fun of my age, I’m sensitive. Either way, there’s one thing that has been consistent throughout the good stories I’ve consumed. The best stories have good character writing. It’s very simple. Your worldbuilding can be amazing, your action scenes can … Continue reading A hop, a skip and a loafer

Horimiya: Piece by piece
When the original season of Horimiya aired, I wasn’t convinced. I enjoyed the show a lot, but it is rated incredibly high and hailed as an absolutely amazing manga in the romance genre. To me it felt much more like a solid romance anime that had a good beginning, middle and end. So why is … Continue reading Horimiya: Piece by piece

If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen an ad for Bokksu many times. I know a lot of youtubers that have been sponsored by them and honestly I understand why. It’s a very appealing service, getting a box of snacks from Japan sent right to your door? Sign me up. Well, I waited a bit … Continue reading This post is (not) sponsored by Bokksu
Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife
Spice & Wolf was the very first light novel I ever bought. I bought this even before I ever bought a single manga volume or figure or anything related to anime and manga. The original Spice & Wolf anime was probably the first anime that really stuck with me. For a long time I considered … Continue reading Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9
The unfortunate downside of Fukichi abandoning his search for Aya is that he can now aim his attention elsewhere. And that ‘elsewhere’ turns out to be the Detective Agency members. To be more specific, Tanizaki and Kunikida are in big trouble. But it seems like Atsushi is in even bigger trouble. He’s being held captive … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9
One Piece Strong World: Chapter 0
One of the fun things about buying a box set instead of individual manga volumes is the bonuses that come with the boxes. For One Piece, these are small posters - which are folded so there’s no way they’ll ever look great on a wall - and small manga volumes of extra stories. When I … Continue reading One Piece Strong World: Chapter 0
One Piece Volume 32
Volume 32 is the first volume that is marked on the spine as being part of the Water Seven Arc. Unfortunately for us, we don’t quite get to Water Seven in this volume, but we do finish up Skypiea. I would have still labeled the volume as being purely Skypiea, but the back does include … Continue reading One Piece Volume 32
One Piece Volume 31
Last week we moved quickly towards the big clash between Luffy and Enel. With almost everyone being down for the count and Usopp and Sanji having pulled off a risky rescue mission, Luffy and Nami make their way back up the beanstalk to go to the Maxim. Luffy being made out of rubber makes him … Continue reading One Piece Volume 31
The mundane to contrast the insane.
In winter 2017, Kyoto Animation adapted Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid) into an anime. The first season had a runtime of 13 episodes and there was a sequel made in 2021, which had 12 episodes. If you’re here and you’ve never seen the anime then let me start off by recommending … Continue reading The mundane to contrast the insane.
