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
Harukana Receive (Ep6-7) I have been a pretty big fan of Harukana Receive since it stated airing. Maybe because it's a slightly better form of mediocrity than most other shows airing this season (Summer 2018). I had hoped that would last, that some of its better themes would be developed further, and not forgotten about. … Continue reading Sunday’s Segment: Demon Lord, Dead Cells, Fear The WD (#4)(19-08-18)
Log Horizon (EP1-5) I never played World of Warcraft. I did play Runescape though, for exactly 3,438 hours on my main account, and no doubt a few more thousand combining the others. This and a decent time played in Guild Wars 2, gives me a good idea of MMORPG's - how they play, what they are like, … Continue reading Sunday’s Segment: Log Horizon, How it Ends, Mortal Engines (#3)(12-08-18)
I live a somewhat sheltered life, I always have, and in many respects I think I always will. I don't really know people. That is to say, I don't really understand people - not as well as I would like. This is something I've realised in the last two years, something which I previously thought … Continue reading On Trying to Create Quality Content
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
