Yes I’m alive. Consider this short review a message to myself: Stop getting annoyed that people like Frieren “too much”. Yes Frieren has its fair share of issues. Its world, for starters, is boring. You don’t have to make a medieval fantasy setting with elves and magic and demons this bland and forgettable, but it…… Continue reading Short Reviews: Frieren
A short Fall 2024 Anime Season Preview
Why a short preview? Because I don’t have time to do those absurdly long season previews I did in the past. As fun as it is to mock 15 different isekai slop anime every season, getting pictures and trailers and synopsis for all of them became draining. But I also don’t want to stop doing…… Continue reading A short Fall 2024 Anime Season Preview
Short reviews: Kaiju No.8
After months of moving across continents, changing computers a few times, all my streaming subscriptions lapsing, and getting a whole new set of furniture, I’m finally in a position to watch anime again. And it didn’t take more than a few weeks for the writing itch to hit me again. So to scratch said itch,…… Continue reading Short reviews: Kaiju No.8
Not a Summer 2024 Anime Season Preview
So for the last few months of my life, I have left one job, moved across continents, started a new job, and am about to move once again to a whole new city. What this has meant is I have had no time for anime. The only show I’ve watched from last season was Delicious…… Continue reading Not a Summer 2024 Anime Season Preview
Spring 2024 Anime Season Preview
Way back in 2007, young anime fan Scamp spotted this image on an anime website. It caught my eye and I went to look it up, only to discover it hadn’t aired yet. The preview plot description though talked about a fantasy series focused on more down-to-earth mercantilism and low-key travel than swords and sorcery.…… Continue reading Spring 2024 Anime Season Preview
Winter 2024 Anime First Impressions Part 2
I have limited love in my heart, or indeed enthusiasm. All of that enthusiasm shall be directed towards Bravern. There will be no enthusiasm left for anything else in this post. You have been warned. Bang Brave Bravern Episodes watched: 3 I cannot stress enough just how much I love this show, and I now…… Continue reading Winter 2024 Anime First Impressions Part 2
Winter 2024 Anime First Impressions Part 1
If I write “part 1” in the title of this post, it not only encourages my loyal readerbase to come back for the second part, but it also forces me to write a second post. My genius is truly staggering. Delicious in Dungeon Episodes watched: 2 Fine. This is good. It’s well animated for starters.…… Continue reading Winter 2024 Anime First Impressions Part 1
Anime of the Year 2023
These are the looks you get if you haven’t watched Migi and Dali yet. Around November I found myself wondering if this year was truly one of the weakest years for anime ever. It didn’t help that 2022 was maybe the best year for anime ever, so this year suffered by comparison. Then I realised…… Continue reading Anime of the Year 2023
Winter 2024 Anime Season Preview
They’re making another Madoka Magica sequel movie. In the year of our lord Madoka 2024. Honestly? Fine, I’ll take it. Yeah Magia Rising didn’t work for me, but it failed because the writing and story were too busy and unfocused. The visual style and themes still worked. It showed to me that another Madoka anime…… Continue reading Winter 2024 Anime Season Preview
Is Space Dandy still one of my favourite anime of all time
The level to which Space Dandy ended up being forgotten by time remains shocking to me. It launched with such fanfare. Here was the director of Cowboy Bebop launching a new anime with a wide array of directorial talents that would run simultaneously abroad as it did in Japan. Yet it just kind of came…… Continue reading Is Space Dandy still one of my favourite anime of all time
