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 …

Anime Expo Updates (and Cosplay Countdown)~!

We're down to the wire, dear anime enthusiasts. Time for a few AX updates! Firstly, I am happy to announce that our concussed friend, he-who-has-yet-to-pick-a-blog-pseudonym, will be attending the expo with us in just a few days time. Our compatriots count is back up to three: Shoujo, Chronic, and no-name! As you may recall, no-name's …

Cosplay Catastrophe and Reset, Followed by the Concussion of the Century (Anime Expo 2017)

''Tis the season of unexpected happenings!! I'm honestly excited, all things considered. I mean, perception is 9/10th, right? Well, maybe not, but I've found my bright side. ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ I'll begin not with what happened first, but what happened most recently... One of our presumed conference compatriots (not Chronic, but rather "he-who-as-of-yet-must-not-be-named") won a bad concussion …

The Anime with the Best Animation (30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 16)

I'm choosing styles rather than a specific show, today. I hope you don't mind. I'm a fan of the "Deen aesthetic," and I'm into just about every shoujo I've seen Studio Deen animate. Please don't misunderstand--I don't like every style they employ; rather, I enjoy specific combinations of their realism and artistry. It's accurate in …

Favorite Male Anime Character (30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 3)

No, no, no, don’t do this to me, NO. I mean, it’s SHOUJO. How am I supposed to have ONE favorite male character? HOW?? I have oodles, so many different personalities and appearances and development arcs that it boggles the mind! There is absolutely NO way that I can play the favorites game today, uh …

An Unordered Shout Out to (Some of) Shoujo’s Favorite (Male) Voice Actors!

I gave up on twisting hooks into the drywall and sat in my pink office chair. Instead of attempting to manifest my less-that-proficient home improvement skills, I tuned in to the dub of Nondame Cantabile (I know nothing about this yet, guys. I might just start watching Ouran episode 7, but still…). Doing so, I …

Let’s Talk About “Vampire Knight” (DUB/SUB)-Highly Recommended

You're sitting in your living room. It's dark. You gaze at the Netflix titles glowing on-screen; you have seen this title referenced before. Vampire Knight. Zero. That was his name. The silver-haired, amethyst-eyed character you'd heard of, the one who got you interested in the show, before you stumbled across it on the streaming service. …
