Mystery Blogger Award (x 3)

Considering the content I write and the IRL tidbits that I Tweet, I'm pretty sure there's not much left about me that remains in mystery. But before we get to the mysterious nominees whom I'm curious about, here we go anyway about myself based on YahariBento, Matt-in-the-Hat, and Emiko's questions (thank you!). Rules Display the…

500 Follower Appreciation Post + Random Anime Reveal

I thought I timed it so that 500 followers and the blog's third anniversary should happen at about the same time, but looks like we hit the milestone early. Well, you people really rock! I'm still a bit jet-lagged as I write this, so please pardon any less coherent bits. Starting this blog might be…

Accepting Random Anime Recommendations

A big thank you to all who contributed ideas in the last post for my 500 follower celebration.

Welcome to May. How's everyone doing? I'm not sure if this has something to do with our global situation, but the month of March saw a remarkable influx of creative otaku and geek content. This showcase received an unprecedented total of 55 submissions from Twitter. As such, I decided to split the showcase it into…

Sunshine Blogger Award: Finally, an Award Post

Hey, it's been a while I've done an award post (and by a while, I mean...*checks,* 2 years. *Gulps*). Apologies to all the people who came up with the greatest questions ever that I never answered, some of whom have since left the blogsphere. I do really love answering random questions, so idk why it…
