"Science-y types are always like that!" Every field comes with certain occupational hazards, stereotypes that outsiders come up with that has no actuality, stereotypes that you grow up hearing to a point you end up becoming that very stereotype, misunderstandings and all that, and STEM people are not exempt from any of it. There's no …
Adaptation is a tough ordeal. I'm sure we all have our sweet and sour experiences when it comes to the adaptations of our favorite story. Reading is a very private and personal form of engagement, not just the interpretation of the meaning of the text but almost everything else is up to our imagination and …

H-hello? It's been more than a year since I posted something, wow. I actually drafted 2 long posts but life is cruel and my motivation is non-existent. Hence, I'm back with something I promised my friend and with second season starting, why not publish here as well? In the form of screenshots, as well ~~ …

Greetings everyone. I wanted to make a quick post about what I had in mind for quite a while because I realized I started enjoying short anime more and more than its longer peers and these three I'm going to mention really deserves recognition.

Writer's note : From this post, you can expect a criticism of yaoi fandom's reaction towards the non-yaoi related works and characters. This criticism is done through Tagura Tohru's manga Koimonogatari and later on it is expanded to general behaviour.

And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil Rewatching some of the episodes with my flatmate the other day, reminded me why I love anime and manga this much.

I stumbled across this anime by luck, actually. The name sounded interesting, looked at the synopsis and saw that the show has samurai in it, hence it was enough reasoning for me. For the first couple of episodes, I didn't know what to feel about Shigurui; feels interesting on one hand but the strange pace …
I wanted to write on a subject I personally think about and read: strong female character. As always, I will make a general theoric entry and continue blabbing about women in anime/manga. Generally, the method we deal with something negative is to reject and act as the opposite. Same method was valid for the early …
