A straw-made nest for anime, its music, and wishful thinking.
This episode was plenty of fun. No pre-content rambling from me here today, let's just get into it. Who we are: Purple = Aria (well of knowledge) Green = Plyasm (sick and trying to stay alive) Blue = Astral (shounen enthusiast) Red = Me (demon apologist) 1. What are your general thoughts on this episode? [Mandatory] I thought we were getting off the stinking …

Primes and I are back with another pre-Christmas party episode! Primes: Let the Christmas-preparation hijinks begin! The overarching motif in this episode, I think, is the idea of roleplaying. Ami is the first one to bring it up with her accusation that Ryuji and Taiga are "playing house." She points out that Ryuji is trying …

Collabs seem to be the only thing motivating me to blog in such a busy season, but this one is certainly a treat! Astral and I are doing an anime food collab where we take turns cooking/baking something anime-inspired. Check out his first post for exciting takoyaki photos and tips! Sheesh...he set the bar high...! …

This episode has who I think is the most likable villain so far, and I'm happy I got to post it. Purple = Aria (patron of Ukogi) Green = Plyasm (defender of shounen glamour) Blue = Astral (possessor of a good heart) Red = Me (sympathizer of spiders) 1. What are your general thoughts on this episode? [Mandatory] Aside from Zenitsu’s bit (where I kept …

I forget to reblog most of these, but not today! We're almost caught up, and this should be a good recap for those of you raving about ep. 19, whatever that's about (I'm a good spoiler dodger...). https://wp.me/p7kXAj-23t
Wow, we're moving into the infamous Christmas arc! I've avoided spoilers pretty well so far, so I'm not sure what that means yet... Primes: Infamous? How is it infamous? I keep seeing on Twitter and WordPress that this arc wrecks feels... This was especially talked about around Christmastime, which I noticed last year. Primes: Can …
Hello, wonderful people, and happy August! For whatever reason, August is my favourite month of the year. The epitome of summer vacation (yep, can't stop thinking like a student). Special thanks to Jon Spencer for reminding me that I'm hosting my second Jon's Creator Showcase this month which I totally forgot. What? For those new …

Tears, bruises, and cringey confessions. This is the kind of anime episode that makes me feel like I missed out on something during high school! Primes: What, no kendo fights in your classroom? Seriously, though, I felt this episode succeeded in conveying the emotional anarchy that dominates the teen years: soaring giddiness, crashing dreams, feelings …
