[Tag] Super Happy Love Award

The Super Happy Love Award... I remember being both intrigued and intimidated when I was nominated not once, but four times in the year 2020. Huh, that's not as long ago as I thought. Few people have as much super happy love in them as Pinkie from Pinkie's Paradise, the creator of the award, but…

5 Anime Encapsulated by Kate Bush Songs

There are people who got into Kate Bush because of Stranger Things, and there are people who got into Stranger Things because of Kate Bush. The latter will be me...probably. Still have to actually get to it, but from what I've heard, it's a show that I could enjoy. Admittedly, although I've known of Kate…

Ranking 12 Times Dvorak’s New World Symphony was Used in Anime

New World Symphony is a hype piece. Many people know it for the slow and pastoral Second Movement, "Goin' Home," but when I think of it, I think of the bits that remind me of exploding battleships. And when I heard it on the radio last weekend, I finally reflected on why: it's because I've…

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 13 (A Kind Land)

I could have sworn I published this post a month ago, what the heck... After approximately two years, we're finally at the finish line! I did not know that the original anime was an incomplete adaptation of the novels, but I am pretty satisfied with where the 2003 series leaves us off. One thing I…

[Tag] Make it Anime

Yes, Moya is responding to another old tag, but why shouldn't I? In this age of half-hearted live action adaptations of animated pieces, whether there are books/movies that can benefit from the anime treatment is an interesting question. This tag was created by Average Joe Reviews, and Lynn from The Otaku Author was the one…

Seasonal Anime Advisory (Spring 2022)

Are you a little behind on seasonals? Or are you the type to wait until the end of a season to binge a show in one sitting, preferably after reviews prove that the experience will be worth it? Aren't there always a few too many anime in a season (those poor animators!)? Well fear not,…

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 12 (A Peaceful Land)

Back again with another procrasti-post! This episode really isn't one of the series' strongest. It feels kind of wrong that it's the penultimate episode in the series, when the episode prior to it could probably lead into the finale more nicely. It's called the "Land of Peace," but wait, there are tanks and statues of…

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 11 (Her Journey)

Oh look, it's been so long since the last time I drafted a post that Funimation and Crunchyroll have fused and Kino's Journey has long left both of them anyway, so I had to get HIDIVE. I thought I could finish watching and writing about a mere 3 episodes within the 14 day free trial…

Moya Answers an Overdue Tag Pt. N (for Neat)

Maybe award posts have lost their meaning because everyone spams their friends with them. Maybe they're frowned upon because they're not particularly original. How do you feel about award posts? I don't see them nearly as much as before, but I do like to read them. I tend to be more curious about the people…
