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 …
If I had titles for my weekly reviews like I did for my usual posts, I would have definitely picked the word ‘resilience’. Every character on either side of the net have held their ground throughout, and I also felt like I’ve held my breath along the long rallies and suspense. The episode opens up …
This is not even a weekly review anymore but more like an I’m-writing-it-whenever-i-can-find-the-time’ly review. I only had time this week to properly sit down and catch up with the episodes and it would be a pretty awkward review if I would only rely on the bits I remember from manga. Very much like Kenma, to …
