“Somebody make me feel alive.” — CMV/AMV Saturday (10/20/17)

Let's be real: I have no idea what I'm doing with this. Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but I like Nighcore, the Hakuouki characters, and the song "Shatter Me" by Lindsey Sterling and Lizzy Hale. Combine them and I don't have a choice but to feature it, you see? https://youtu.be/dP_GoPG9ceQ I won't pretend that this AMV by Mitsu …

“I second that spit take.” Watch Along- Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (sub) EP. 6

This episode is so long in coming because, for a variety of reasons, I can't sit on my couch. Normally, I watch the episode and type on my laptop at the same time. (Husband asks how I read and comprehend a subtitled anime while simultaneously typing. I tell him that I am magic, but that's …

“In Spite of How I Truly Feel Inside” -_ midpoint impressions of “Banana Fish” (sub)

[Author's Note: This is not a full review, but an impression post. A review will come after I finish the series.] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwXSqv63iUA&t=8s I first heard of Banana Fish through---surprise, surprise---Twitter. Initially, my interest was peaked by still images from the title being compared to stills from Yuri!!! On Ice. (You all know how that show's relationship …

Feature a Sci-fi Character You Like (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 20)

Guys, as a general rule, I don't watch science fiction anime. Remember my whole thing about "Please, dear goodness, no mechas, please no?" And while I am all about Planetes, the challenge specifies that I'm supposed to feature like a robot or an alien or something! What's a girl to do? I'm wracking my brain …

“Narumi couldn’t remember what pair of underwear she was wearing.” — A Review of the Relatable “Wataoki: Love is Hard for Otaku”

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (alternately, Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii) is a slice-of-life romantic comedy cataloging the hi-jinx created by Narumi, a major otaku, and her equally nerdy friends as they navigate the relationships between them. I found so much to relate to within this title, and convalescing at home left me plenty of …

Feature an Animal Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 18)

LOOK! It's HEEN! You tell me this baby pupper from Howl's Moving Castle isn't cute. Go on, I'll wait... Hah! You can't honestly say that, can you? The little guy might at first belong to a scary witch, but he's just so sweet and smol and...HIM. And, anyway, in addition to making the best gifs, …

Russia’s Famous Love Machine – CMV/AMV SATURDAY (10/06/18)

This is just too much for my poor heart to take. I know that the song doesn't fit exactly, I know it, but it's been stuck in my head for days now, and the thought of combining Victor Nikiforov with the words "Russia's Greatest Love Machine" was too much for me to pass up. So, …

Watch Along- Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (sub) EP. 5

Before I get down to this episode, here is a very catchy bongo cat video I saw on Twitter. You're welcome. 😛 https://twitter.com/i/status/1043618147465666561 I've never heard that song before now, but as both a total history geek, a lover of cats, and an appreciator of memes, this spoke to me. So, now I'm sharing it …

Feature the Most Evil Character (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 17)

I have the cutest cat in the word, and if I told you otherwise to appease all the other cat owners out there, I'd be lying. Yes, there are other cute cats, and yes, I can love them, but my baby Muffin is the best cat in existence for about 75 million reasons that would …
