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!
I'll preface this discussion by saying I rarely watch Yuri. Not because I have an aversion to it - or feel anything inherently negative towards it. Only, Yuri is something that rarely ever comes to the surface in my anime watching habits; for whatever reason that may be. With this in mind, I have few … Continue reading In ‘Defense’ of… Citrus and the Ecchi Genre
Everyone's heart is caught by the charisma of our favourite NEET, MMO Junkie's Moriko Morioka. She's sweet, she's awkward, but most of all, she's simply a likeable person. There are always certain characters we're able to identify with. Not necessarily because we're the same as they are, but because there are parts of them that resemble … Continue reading Recovery of an MMO Junkie: LOVE – Moriko Morioka
From a list of more than ten shows I'm watching in the Autumn/Fall 2017 season, Inuyashiki continually makes me think the more than any other. Now, that does not necessarily mean I think it is the best. But, often incitation of thought is what I'm searching for... maybe above all else. I believe that a … Continue reading Inuyashiki: How to Masterfully Convey Unease
On occasion, characters grab your imagination in the first few moments of you knowing them. Girls' Last Tour is a perfect example of this; how it manages to present its two characters in a way that is hardly exciting, but completely endearing. It's this slow revelation of who these two girls are where the … Continue reading Girls’ Last Tour: Developing Character
It's fair to say, Parasyte tickles me in all the right places. A feat that the majority of anime fails to come even close to doing. Not especially because the shows I watch are inherently unworthy, but because they simply do not compare with the truly brilliant shows I have had the pleasure of watching … Continue reading Parasyte: The Maxim – Anime Analysis and Review
I wrote this previously, Why You NEED to Watch, Made in Abyss I'll admit it, within my own writing, I have never been a huge fan of worldbuilding. I prefer to invest more time into my characters, and the situations they find themselves in. Yet, this isn't to say I don't appreciate worldbuilding in the … Continue reading A Look Into The Worldbuilding of: Made in Abyss
Kiki's Delivery Service is my all time favourite Studio Ghibli film. Those of you who haven't read my content before might think this is something of a surprise... after all, not many people are on the same wavelength as me regarding this one... then again, I doubt they are with many of the things … Continue reading Kiki’s Delivery Service: Kiki’s Insatiable Drive
