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
Fall 2023 Anime Early Impressions Part 2
I enjoy how pleasingly round Frieren’s head is. It’s one of those details that makes you nod your head in quiet satisfaction. Also noticed the slight change in title from “first impressions” to “early impressions”? For when your first impressions take too long. Apothecary Diaries Episodes watched: 3 It’s…ok? I like the main character and…… Continue reading Fall 2023 Anime Early Impressions Part 2

Ron Kamonohasi used the geass in the first episode of that show, so obviously I’m going to watch all of it. Guys, I think this deranged detective might be the cart driver!?! Anyways, first impressions! There’s a lot of anime this season, and not all of them are garbage! In fact, some of them might…… Continue reading Fall 2023 Anime First Impressions Part 1
Fall 2023 Anime Season Preview
Ah shit, it’s already September? I haven’t written a post in almost 3 months? Well at least I got this post out on the very first day of September, before new anime started airing. What’s that? They already started airing anime in August? Motherfucker, that’s illegal! That’s banned under the Geneva Convention! Shit, I’ve got…… Continue reading Fall 2023 Anime Season Preview
Summer 2023 Anime First Impressions
My computer blew up over a week ago. Hard drive fried, I was left to wander the streets in search of substanance. I would blow on windows then draw pictures of cartoon ladies stepping on me in a desperate attempt to recreate my desire for new anime. I just got my repaired computer back, and…… Continue reading Summer 2023 Anime First Impressions
