This wasn’t the exact question asked, but I thought this was an interesting question that came to mind. The original was something more directed towards completionists, and asking why they don’t just watch the final episode of an anime and call it a day. Which is kind of a funny idea that doesn’t really seem ..read more

Was thinking of writing something else when this prompt caught my eye. It’s sort of on theme with a topic I bring up often in regards to wanting more dark, gritty, and frankly realistic depictions of things at times. I don’t think realistic is necessarily the best word to use, but with many of these ..read more

I don’t know if this “plot fanservice” is really a thing or not, but this question was asked on MAL and I thought it was strange enough to want to write about it here! When I first saw the post, I had to dive in to see an explanation for what “plot fanservice” even is ..read more

Let’s get another review out there, with Atri: My Dear Moments. An anime I knew nothing about when I went into it after deciding to watch something different for a change! Synopsis Earth’s oceans have risen to the point that society in Japan has stagnated. Much of the nation is underwater, and most of the ..read more

In other words, have you ever watched an anime just so you wouldn’t feel left out? I thought this one could bring out some interesting answers, but I can’t say I have a very long one myself. Personally, I can’t say I’ve ever really faced this situation because I don’t interact with many anime fans ..read more

Coming out of Summer 2024 was Wistoria: Wand and Sword, and with it, a return to the good ol’ fantasy school genre. Which is still relevant, but I feel like lately it’s taken a back seat to fantasy isekai. Back in the day I probably would have considered fantasy school to be the fantasy subgenre ..read more

About time I got a review out there, this one will be for Tower of God. I’ve recently finished binging both seasons of this series, and I have to say, it’s a real interesting one. Which is why we are here now! Note that this review is from the perspective of both S1 and S2 ..read more

Been a while since I’ve done one of these. Sometimes the prompts just don’t merit a full post, and other times they’re just ridiculous. The users on MAL strike me as a younger demographic overall, so there are plenty of strange and fun questions out there that fit better in a rapid fire format! #1 ..read more

Let’s take a crack at another one that I feel like is pretty straightforward, but then I do think there’s opportunity for some interesting perspectives. My knee-jerk reaction to this prompt is just an outright “no”, because I immediately think of One Piece and how it’s not even close to endless but already feels endless ..read more

Saw something asking about school anime that inspired this one. I don’t think this was the actual question, but it also was worded in a way that I wasn’t quite sure what was being asked. This is what I took away from it, anyways. Summer’s over! It’s time for an anime to hit the books ..read more
