I am getting way too invested in this fricking series. No joke, y’all. People who have seen the series and have gone through the same struggle are probably giggling or laughing with total understanding. You don’t expect to like a thing nearly as much as everyone else. But then you slowly get so sucked into…
Yūri!!! On Ice (ユーリ!!! on ICE) is an original sports (figure skating) anime series produced by studio MAPPA that I decided to pick up after many stellar recommendations from quite a few fellow otaku bloggers. I will confess that I felt very hesitant about starting this due to how hyped it is. I have noticed…

Persona 5: The Animation was my most-anticipated series for the Spring 2018 season. The video game is one that I absolutely adored when I played through it, quite possibly even more than Persona 4 Golden, which is my favourite instalment in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, and that’s saying a lot. Upon learning that A-1…
Welcome, friends! A short while ago, I received an invitation from a group of brilliant bloggers to join them in what we deemed Natsume Week, or week where we would take a day and talk about what has grown to become a very special series for all of us. When I was asked to join…
Confounded. That is what I’m feeling right about now. Utterly and truly bloody confounded that people watch this anime, or play the video games, and derive some semblance of pleasure out of it. I honestly don’t understand it at all. I am someone who tends to like villains and assholes. If they are superficially gorgeous,…
You know, those of you who predicted that I may not finish this series are probably not too far off. It’s one of the most sexist, misogynistic, problematic pieces of shit I have ever seen, and I’ve seen some stuff, let me tell you. There’s fetishizing abuse and then there’s fetishizing abuse. In this episode…
OH. MY. GOD. Okay, I’ve experienced super misogynistic, problematic stuff before, but when you toss sheer dumbassery into the mix… Goodness gracious… I feel like I need to be Parvati to keep up with all of the face-palming I’ve been instinctively needing to do! I mean… come on. The first absurd thing that made me…
Good afternoon (or evening) and welcome, everyone, to my very first attempt at writing episode-by-episode snippets for an anime! I figured it was time to step outside of my comfort zone and try something that has always interested me yet intimidated me at the same time! If you were to ask my why I am…
Happy Friday morning! I’m back today with the Brotherhood of the World Blogger Award! I was nominated for this award by Arthifis, who is such a brilliant blogger that y’all should check out and follow if you aren’t already! Thank you so much for thinking of me, I feel super, super honoured! Since the beginning…
I had a feeling that I would get tagged for this sucker sooner rather than later, thanks to Sam from A Nerdy Perspective (Thanks, Sam. Totally rolling my eyes at you 😉). (If you aren’t following her, what are you doing with your life? Go follow her. She’s brilliant!) For the longest time, I had…
Angels of Death (殺戮の天使) is a shōjo, psychological horror anime that is an adaptation of the horror adventure game by Hoshikuzu KRNKRN. The anime is being produced by J.C.

This fantasy…
Ah, it’s that splendid time of year again, where one season of poor to mediocre to fantastic shows comes to an end, so another season can begin anew. While I enjoyed a few serials over the Spring, most of what I ended up watching fell short in some ways. But I will admit that a…
