Fall 2019 Seasonal Anime Wrap-up

Last post before this decade ends! So much has happened I nearly forgot what I was supposed to do when the season is over. That's right. I usually look back and give my thoughts for everyone to watch. Take note that this is all based on my own preferences and if I don't mention any…

2020 and Beyond

In a few days the year will be over. After countless struggles from everyday problems there is somehow time to celebrate to let the pain go away for moment. I hope things are going well in your end. We all spent most of our time watching anime, reading manga, and other things. The times we…

Reminiscing and Moving Forward

This year has been rough. I endured a lot of things along the way and sure did made some questionable decisions. For an event where bloggers talk about anime for 12 days I want to take this chance to reflect. Think of it as how Violet Evergarden does her job. With the decade coming to…

Best OPs and EDs of the 2010s

Having a decade of songs to choose from, here's that one modified list I promised. Instead of the usual 5 Best I normally do every season I'll compile them into a list of 10! Why? A decade is equal to 10 years. That's it. Also having 10 songs feels like you have an album or…

Anime Songs in My Playlist

It's almost the end of the decade and there's still some anime songs not available through legal means. Ah, the struggle. From what I could gather, majority of anime songs found in most digital outlets typically have the opening and ending themes. It's rare to have any insert songs or even releasing the full soundtrack.…

Anime in Video Games

Getting word that Fire Emblem: Three Houses got an award for Best Strategy at the Game Awards makes me proud for supporting the creators. Just in case if you didn't know, if Awakening, an older entry in the franchise, didn't receive the praise at first then Three Houses wouldn't exist today. It's quite a miracle…

Is Anime Running Out of Ideas?

This has been a question that's lingering to me every time the new season comes in. You'll see a group of sequels, new shows with similar concepts, and shows that do give something new to the mix yet gets under the rubble. And even some specifically niche shows for a specific audience. Some trends just…

Experience of Seeing Weathering With You at the Cinema

Having the chance to watch anime via other means is another experience. I've been so used to seeing it at my phone, tablet, or any available gadget in front of me. I know there's TV, but I don't trust that one anymore since the internet exists. On the cinema, it's the best choice for people…

Beastars and Characterization

This post contains major spoilers from the anime. When I started watching Beastars, that was when I discovered another great story and the struggle of reading the manga gets more difficult as each day goes by. Until now I haven't read from Chapter 1 because I want to finish the anime first. It's just that…

Stars Align and Dealing with Torment

Oh boy. This is another anime that wasn't in my seasonal previews at all but it only drew me in because of the good reception. And all I can say is they didn't lie. What's seemingly a sports anime on the surface has so much pain, suffering, questioning, and a whole lot of incidents that…
