Yes, yes, what have I been doing with my life all this time instead of watching Kiznaiver, it came out back in 2016! Greetings, people of the blogosphere! Maybe because I'm on a manga/webtoon roll, or maybe because the previous season was so full of gems that, subconsciously, I feel burned out. But I have a hard …
Greetings. This is a post I've written back in 2019 because a friend asked me to. I debated over updating the old version or releasing as a new post and decided on the latter so here I am. There are a couple of my really old posts that I want to revisit because, while I'm …

Note: I've written the bulk of this post at the beginning of March, where there were only 10 episodes released. So some of my 'interpretations' here have been solidified in the story in the more recent chapters. I also updated some parts accordingly. I wasn't planning on releasing this post, but a friend on Twitter …

Welcome! After deciding to review Those Snow White Notes this season and Given's movie release in the previous months, it was probably time for me to write on this topic. My meeting with manga was much much later compared to meeting anime, purely out of availability. There were a lot of shows available on national …
Greetings, and a happy International Women's Day to everyone! I kept going from one idea to another for today's post.

Welcome to my 100th post! Milestones, no matter how big or small, deserve celebration, and that's what I'm doing. I'll take this as a chance to once again thank people who take the time and read my stuff. You are amazing. What I aim with this post is neither a full breakdown of Gangsta, nor …

“What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones that passed it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds.” James Joyce – UlyssesOr at some point in the series, Edamura Makoto I don’t know why I was so excited for this series …

I know I've been writing on almost nothing except Haikyuu and for those of you who don't follow the series it was probably very boring. Or boring even though you were keeping up with it. I only have one last post for the series (for now, heh) and then I'll go back to my abandoned …
The current anime season is coming to an end so this post might count as a recap, as well as my observations and general thoughts on the show. Today's post won't be coherent, so I should apologize beforehand. I have to start by saying that I had no idea about IWGP before I saw the …
