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 →
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 →
I like to keep my blog positive, but everyone needs to vent once in a while, right? So I’m going to complain about a bunch of popular anime I don’t like, because the marvelous Pinkie tagged me. I’m sure it will all go just fine, right? A Popular Anime I Don’t Like I could go... Continue Reading →

There’s nothing in it that hasn’t been done in Sword Art... Continue Reading →
I’m pretty late to the party on this one, but I really love the concept so I wanted to share this with y’all. First off I wanted to thank the amazing Irina for nominating me to do this and Pinkie for creating this challenge - they’re both fantastic bloggers so make sure you give them... Continue Reading →
"I'm no longer the useless Deku who can't do anything right... I'm the Deku who gives it his all!!" So there's this show called My Hero Academia. You might have heard of it. It's been one of the most consistently awesome shonen battle anime since it's debut in 2016, and helped redefine the genre for... Continue Reading →
The 2010's were as awesome a decade for anime as they were terrible for pretty much everything else. The arrival of streaming changed the game completely, and there are now more awesome anime coming out now than ever before.
