[I] Umineko ni Naku Koro Ni – Examining the Heart

This won’t be spoiler heavy or anything for people who are still considering reading Umineko! For those of you who’ve followed my twitter account over the last 2 months, have known that I finally got into the Umineko Visual Novel and it devoured my attention the entire time to the point where I didn’t want…

[II] The iDOLM@STER SideM – A Warm Second Chance

NOTE: That this will contain minor spoilers regarding Episode 12 of SideM It’s become no secret I love im@s and the warm and fun world it exists in, but SideM has quickly risen to be my favorite of the different ones, including the original one, Cinderella Girls and the Million Live phone games. SideM is…

[III] March Comes in like a Lion – Chasing after Happiness after Depression

I’m not fully caught up on the anime in season 2 but I love the series from beginning to end, for the general message it espouses about Rei’s depression. Simply just watching the openings in order from beginning to end tell an important story about him and depression as a whole. The first OP itself has…

[IV] Dad of Light (光のお父さん) – #ExpressiveAsians

The show Dad of Light (Play on ‘Warrior of Light’, commonly used to describe the protagonist of Final Fantasy games) came out on Netflix in English around the time that a bunch of hollywood quotes were coming out saying that Asians weren’t expressive, which is why when this came out on english Netflix, it struck a…

[V] Granblue Fantasy – A Fond Thank You

I think it comes to no surprise that Granblue Fantasy makes it to my list, given how much I play it. But to say the least, Granblue Fantasy gave me a home for a really long time, in terms of which guilds I was a part of. I first started playing about 2 years ago?…

[VI] A Silent Voice/Koe no Katachi – A Message from the Hearing Impaired.

I don’t know how to write this post. I wanted to write a lot about this movie after I watched it. I’m hearing impaired. I’m not deaf, I can communicate, I can hear ok without hearing aids. For most of my life, I could hear well. Over time, it’s gotten a bit worse like most…

[VII] Kimi no Na Wa + 5cm/s – The Case of Love

This is without a doubt the most confusing post I’ll write but not because I can’t convey this, but because I’m still processing these two movies. So I’m one of the few people who actually had never seen a Makoto Shinkai movie until “Your Name”, so after I watched it (and shoutout to the millions of…

[VIII] Just Because! The Power of Silence

Anyone that knows me or talked to me on this subject knows I love this kind of stuff. Which is like maybe five people, but whatever, that’s not the point. Before I started watching Just Because!, I saw a lot of people complaining about how it could possibly be so good when it’s “so boring”.…

[IX] Boku no Hero Academia S2 – A Thank You for Yuuki Hayashi’s Music

I feel like anything important anyone ever wanted about Boku no Hero Academia S2 has been done so by the excellent Anibloggers we’ve got around as well as the incredible work Yuyucow and sakugabooru has done over the past year so I felt like giving a huge shoutout to one of the big names behind the…

[X] Pokemon Sun and Moon – Rekindling Youth

I got Pokemon Blue the day it came out along with the Gameboy Color back when I was about 6 years old, and since then I loved the series, but after many years and many many hours of playing or replaying the games, I tried to grow out of it and into other stuff. I…
