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…

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,…

Animanga Festival: Fan-art Exhibition of 5 Autumnal Anime Characters

You know, this whole thing about #FallAesthetic that Instagram and Pinterest are all about is starting to grow on me. I'm not a big autumn person myself, but it does warm my heart to see people getting excited about Thanksgiving, Halloween, leaves, bonfires, PSLs, and things of the like.

10 Opinions on Made in Abyss

Don't ask me why I finished Made in Abyss and not my English readings, but...well, since I finished it, I might as well talk about it. I started this blog with "10 Best Things" posts, which isn't really a problem because I only really finish anime that I enjoy. Sometimes I feel like it limits…
