Strike Witches (EP1-3) I've gone deep this time. I mean, let's be honest, the niche for girls with planes for legs is pretty slim. So, it's no surprise Strike Witches has a cult following. To be honest, I never understand the: "Girls become inanimate objects" meta in anime. Shows like Upotte!!, Kantai Collection: KanColle, and even Girls und Panzer never … Continue reading Sunday’s Segment: Strike Witches, Tsuritama, Demon Lord (#5)(16-09-18)
It took me a few days to watch through Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. After watching the first three episodes, I knew I was going to be in for a ride. So, I decided to space it out, to allow me time to think between episodes, and between all the emotional moments and baggage. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 … Continue reading Tokyo Magnitude 8.0: Strength in Family and Friends
A Short Introduction Welcome to the first ever Sunday Segment, in which I talk about anime, film, games, the community, and pretty much anything else. I want a space where I'm able to discuss things in a less-structured way than my usual posts. A space that is separate of them, where I can write in … Continue reading Sunday’s Segment: Harukana, Happy Sugar Life, Digibro (#1)(29-07-18)
I liked Attack on Titan's first season. In fact, I suspect like many of us, it was one of the first anime shows I watched. Then, last year came along the long-awaited, and long wailed after, Season 2. It wasn't for me. The things I liked in the First seemed to have vanished in the … Continue reading Attack on Titan Season 3 – It’s Better Already
A number of months ago I said I wasn't going to be looking at first episodes, or writing about single episodes at any length, However, Island has disrupted that train of thought with a massive fist being slammed onto my desk. This is because Island had one of the worst first episodes I've seen since … Continue reading Island: A Demonstration in Terrible First Episodes
During Spring 2018, Megalo Box has consistently impressed me, coming to occupy number one spot on my list during a season which has quality oozing out of every corner. At its core, Megalo Box is an original story with a rich history of origins - being the 50th Anniversary homage and celebration of the classic … Continue reading Megalo Box Analysis: Zero to Hero
I've been wanting to write something like this for a long-ish time now. However, like most other things, I have been unable to find the words to express it in a way that both makes sense to me, and to those of you reading. Well... saying that, I don't know if it will make sense, … Continue reading Anime: Enjoyment, Motivation, and Writing
A Place Further than the Universe has taken the Winter of 2018 by storm. Though... not from the get go. It is something which has crept up on all of us. Rallying over the weeks, as its MAL score grew and grew to something which its cute girl aesthetic never foreshadowed at the beginning … Continue reading A Place Further Than the Universe: Love and Loss, and Friends
This is something I have been deliberating over for a rather significant amount of time now, so here goes: Within the anime community I feel there is a trend, this need to analyse every single frame of media; almost as if anime (or media in general) exists for this reason alone, and anything without so-called … Continue reading Anime: Overanalyzing – Current Climate of Content
Yuru Camp - by relatively young and unknown studio C-Station - is one of this season's (Winter 2018) Slice of Life shows, very possibly a contender for the best in its class. Only one word comes to mind: camping. We all love camping, well... l love camping; it was something our family did when I … Continue reading Yuru Camp (Laid Back): Let’s Go Camping!
