What a time to be alive. Barely a year ago, advanced generative AI was the stuff of science fiction. But now, you can ask Bing to look up movie times (if it actually works) ChatGPT to write essays and cover letters, and DALL-E to make a picture of anything you ask it to. These systems...

Online fandoms have come a long way since the halcyon days of the internet, when the only way to find people with similar interests was to load up a GameFAQs message board on a sluggish dial-up connection. Nowadays, though, all it takes is a quick search on Reddit, Discord, or (RIP) Twitter to find millions... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all, how’s it going? It’s been a while. I want to get back into blogging again. I may not post all that frequently, but I still have a lot of opinions on all the good anime/JRPGs. I also want to write about some of my other interests, such as music and literature, so stay... Continue Reading →
This was supposed to be done by Mother's Day, but I never do anything on time, so why start now? I wanted to do this cute post on my favorite anime moms for a while now, but I realized that way too many moms in anime die before the opening credits. That would make this... Continue Reading →
I’m 100% Shonen trash, which means I love Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The gorgeously detailed setpieces, unique historical setting, and memorable cast of characters (and Zenitsu) made for one of the most exciting Shonen Jump series in recent memory. I binged the entire manga shortly after finishing the first anime season, which only made... Continue Reading →
This one hurts, y’all. MASSIVE ENDING SPOILERS for the anime, mild manga spoilers ahead I’ve been a huge fan of The Promised Neverland ever since the first season dropped. I was so enamored with the story that I read the entire manga on the Shonen Jump mobile app. I couldn’t wait to see Emma, Ray,... Continue Reading →
Thanks to the wonderful Pinkie for tagging me here! I don’t do a lot of tag posts, but I really liked this one and thought it would be great for Women's History Month. There are a lot of great female characters in animation, who don’t always get the attention and respect they deserve. I wanted... Continue Reading →
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya was all over the anime world in the mid-2000’s. The memetic misadventures of the sociopathic tsundere (who's actually God... I think) captivated fans across the Internet. But the show’s popularity tanked in its second season, due to the infamous “Endless Eight” arc. They literally made the same episode, eight times...

I was obsessed with The Promised Neverland pretty much from Episode 1. As soon as I finished the first season of the anime, I read the entire manga on my Shonen Jump mobile app. I was hyped for Season 2 more than practically anything else this year. But the latest episode has me torn about... Continue Reading →
The 2010’s were, in some ways, a culmination of the past 100 years of anime history. Online streaming came into its own, causing an influx of new content and bridging the gap between Japan and the rest of the world. New genres came into the spotlight, and old classics were improved upon. Anime became a... Continue Reading →
