Picture This! Anime Edition: Ft. Special Guest

I’m back Internet, did you miss me? Well I have a fun little post just for you, so I hope you like games, and more importantly I hope you like art. You see, I’m in need of a little artistic redemption. I mean, not that I ever fancy myself an artist but when you’re known…

Jon’s Creator Showcase: July Post Submissions Open

Hello, hello. (Recently came to the horrific realization that the Ex-Arm opening plays in my head whenever I say it, who can I blame for this!?) Been a while. I'm still busy as heck, but I'm glad to be hosting the beloved JCS this month. I totally didn't almost forget about it until today. Of…

[Tagless Tag] My Pirate Crew is 2 Years Late but Still Very Powerful

As the title says and as you should learn to expect by now, this tag has been in my backlog forever before I randomly decided to engage with it. I do love the premise, especially when travelling is still banned in my province (for good reason). Here are the rules: Display the My Pirate Crew…

The Struggle of (Not) Having Thoughts on Anime

Do you ever just forget that you have a blog? That's what happened to me...until I checked my blog email the other day and found a surprisingly recent request for my response on a certain question. It was such an interesting prompt that I decided to write a whole post on it. If you're reading…

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 9 (Land of Books)

Bringing back this episode review series just in time for National Library Week (thanks to e-quips for the reminder), how apropos! This is one of the hardest episode reviews I've had to write--there's so much going on here. In fact, I sat on it for well over a month, and kind of forgot about it…

Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 13 — I drink and watch anime

And we've reached the end! Big thanks to Irina again for the open conversations and for being so on top of things on a weekly basis. I'd love to give her the sky... but we know it'll probably work out best if I bake her a cake with lots of whipped cream. Whenever you visit…

Horimiya with IriMoya: Episode 12

It’s a Christmas episode! I genuinely thought this was going to be the last episode in the series until Irina pointed out otherwise last time, but with all that happened this episode, I’m still kind of surprised that it doesn’t just end here. But how are you doing, Irina?  Irina: I’m doing great! Spring is…

Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 11

Who is Shu again? Oh huh, he's got a sister? Cute "filler" episode for the beloved and lesser known side characters to shine. Well, this is going to be a drastic change from my usual thoughts on Horimiya… I thought this episode was super sweet! I’m starting to feel very redundant and that’s a bit…

Horimiya with IriMoya: Episode 10

It’s more Yuki, as we had hoped for! But first, happy Pi Day, and happy daylight savings switch. I don’t know if most people really celebrate either, especially the latter, but it’s cool that they coincide. Remember to go to bed early so that you can recover from the loss of an hour! (Edit: apparently…
