View ArticleMy Top 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2013
Last year I struggled quite a bit when coming up with my top ten, not because there were so many good shows, but because there was a lack of them. A few times I actually considered making it a top five...
View ArticleReview: Kyoukai no Kanata
Unlike most people, I’ve never been too fond of Kyoto Animation. Their shows are okay, and they certainly know how to animate well, but they’ve never really made anything that stood out for me. That’s...
View ArticleEarly Thoughts on Winter 2013/2014 Anime
Whenever a new season rolls around, I always use a chart to decide what shows I’ll watch based on a promo picture and short synopsis. It works well enough, but it never determines how much I’ll like or...
View ArticleReview: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
For a while now, I’ve actually been covering shows that I at least found to be decent. It’s a little weird considering what started getting me attention in the first place were me just tearing into...
View ArticleReview: School Days
In regards to the anime community, there are actually very few shows that are almost universally panned. The community is mostly full of praise for various shows – such as Attack on Titan, Fullmetal...
View ArticleWhy You Should Watch: Star Driver
(Way back when it ended, I did a review on Star Driver. I don’t really like it, so I decided to use at as the first show for this new series of posts I’ll occasionally write. It’ll essentially function...
View ArticleReview: Golden Time
Back when the Winter season was starting, quite a few people got hyped up for Golden Time. After all, it was an adaptation of a novel from the same author as ToraDora, and that’s a show that’s beloved...

Before I start getting into this, I should mention that I originally didn’t want to do a review on this show, I wanted to do a “Why You Should Watch” on it. However, I very quickly ran into a problem:...
View ArticleThe Problems with Mahouka
By now, Spring season shows have wrapped up and Summer season shows are starting to get into swing. This season is actually shaping up to be a pretty good one, too. But instead of talking about either...

Eh, fuck it. In Sakura Spirit, you play as 17-year-old Gushiken Takahiro (which doesn’t really matter, because after a few minutes you’ll just be unconsciously associating his name with your own...
View ArticleNo, The Tokyo Ghoul Ending Wasn’t Bad
This might be a bit late, but I only now started noticing just how much shit the Tokyo Ghoul anime ending was getting. On the one hand, I expected the cries of it being a “cliffhanger” and...
View ArticleWhy Clannad After Story is Also Overrated (In the Form of a Review)
Well, this was inevitable. I don’t think most people who saw what I had to say about Clannad are really surprised that my thoughts on After Story are the same, but there’s also a fair amount of people...
View ArticleTop 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2014
Another year, another time to be unoriginal and do a top ten (or some degree thereof) post like everybody else in the universe. But they’re pretty fun to do, so it makes sense why everybody does them....
View ArticleReview: Sword Art Online II
Sometimes I struggle with the things I decide to put out. I tend to only cover a show when I have something I want to say about it. Most of the time that’s due to having an opinion that just goes...
View ArticleA Very Serious Review of Sakura Angels
I hate my friends. Do you remember how Sakura Spirit ended saying that it was just a prologue of things to come for the protagonist? Well turns out Sakura Angels isn’t a sequel and has seemingly no...

View ArticleTokyo Ghoul Review (Seasons 1 & 2)
I’m glad I’m finally getting around to covering this show. It’s already a thing of mine that I like to cover shows where I don’t agree with the majority opinion because it’s more likely to encourage...
View ArticleTop 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2015
Another year, another batch of complaints that the just-finished year of anime was “bad” or “mediocre at best”. It never gets old, really. I thought it was a pretty good year seeing as I was sweating...
View ArticleThe Last: Naruto the Movie Review
The Last: Naruto the Movie (commonly misread as “The Last Naruto Movie“) is not something I was expecting to do a review on. I’m not that into Naruto to begin with (I don’t really actively hate it, I’m...
