Greetings! This week we have some important changes in the series, the names of the characters. When I saw the preview of the manga and then saw the anime, I was puzzled about the planetary names given to the characters. The Japanese names chosen for them seem to all include the corresponding planet's kanji and …
Welcome to another week of Heaven's Design Team with Nora! Hopefully my reviews come close to the series in terms of being enjoyable. This week we have one of the cutest guests, and other questionable creations that lead to real life consequences. Using forbidden black magic to unearth someone's dark past? Definitely sounds like something …
Welcome to another week of wacky animal creation! Without stalling and unnecessary introduction, I'll dive into my review. Enjoy ~ Quick Summary This week, my questions about whether there are other departments or not from last week are answered: Yes, seems like our design team is not the only group that is outsourced. We meet …
Welcome~ In the end, I decided on Heaven's Design Team as the series I'm going to review this season. The first time I came to know about this was through Al's manga review, and I was already captivated by the premise! Additionally, one of the BL mangakas I love, Suzuki Tsuta, is involved as one of …
I had no idea what to write about this episode apart from just typing the word 'marvelous' and that would be the whole review. If I was an accomplished contemporary artist, I could run away with that but I'm not. So, I'm typing more words about this marvelous episode of Haikyu! Before I get into …
I typed a whole sappy paragraph about the season coming to an end. And then I deleted it. Because you know… positive vibes? Just kidding. Actually, I have been preoccupied and my brain sometimes feels like it’s been deep-fried. Then, it gets soggy like some forgotten fries on a tray. And for some reason, my …
When I’ve read Irina’s review of this episode and saw that she had some confusion because of the French meaning of the word ‘Piton’, I went “Me too!”. Though, I don’t know any French so my momentary confusion was in relation to Turkish. ‘Piton’ are the snakes that belong to Pythonidae family and although it …
Another fun episode! Matches are nice to watch with all the cool movements and close up, well done animation sequences but there’s a different joy I get when I know more about what brought the characters today and what shaped their beliefs or mindset. And while I’m not really fond of children, anime children are …
This episode’s star is Kita, our calm and collected Inarizaki captain, and It opens with a comment from his grandmother: Gods are everywhere and they are always watching. This reminded me of an article I’ve read on Marie Kondo and her ‘de-cluttering’ having roots in Shinto beliefs/practices. Here’s a quote that I felt was related: …
This episode, “The Ultimate Challengers”, is more of a transitory episode. We are just finished with the Nekoma match and the Inarizaki match picks up the story where it was left: Atsumu targeting Nishinoya. My memory is only good when it comes to Haikyu, it seems. I kept remembering some parallels between this episode and …
