They’re not really talking about algae. — Dramatical Murder’s “Slip on the Pumps” by GoatBed (English Version)

Let's pretend for a minute I haven't gone AWOL from the blog for like... a month now... with this next post, which isn't an explanation of absence or anything remotely related to it! No! This post is lyrical! That's right. It's time again for a foray into interpretation. I'm taking "Slip on the Pumps" by …

“Love me cancerously… She moves through moonbeams slowly. She knows just how to hold me.” — CMV/AMV Saturday (04/10/21)

Svattii and her girlfriend Mishkali are professional cosplayers (and, in Svattii's case, a photographer as well) with oodles of talent and abundant creativity. They've done TONS of awesome work in various anime fandoms, but something about this cosplay music video set to Love Me Dead by Ludo is just on a whole other level! As …

And the Beat Goes On — Responding to the “Music & Me Tag”

I've been tagged for a few challenges lately that I've decided to get a move onto! In this case, I was tagged by Annie over on Evening Tea Musings to participate in either the gaming tag or music tag. I'm not much of a gamer, so I decided to respond to the music tag alone. …

“Soon may an anime come that we can all agree upon.” — An Anime-Inspired Sea Shanty

Sea Shanties have been all the rage lately, and even if they've died down in the way that so much of internet culture quickly does, I still love them. Thus, I wrote an anime sea shanty, and I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 I've been known to do things like this before, what with my …

Embracing Every Stereotype and Reviewing “Magic-kyun! Renaissance” (sub)

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this title. If anyone seeks an example of shoujo that makes obvious almost every facet and/or stereotype of the genre, I can think of no better show to suggest. That doesn't mean that Magic-kyun is some pinnacle of anime, but rather that it makes its shoujo elements so incredibly …

“Given” fans won’t want to miss this!–Live Rendition of “Fuyu no Hanashi” feat. Centimil & Mafuyu’s voice actor, Shogo Yano

Forgive any enthusiastic mistakes I made in my investigation. The following video features Centimilimental (the artist behind the songs in 'Given' the anime) singing Fuyu no Hanashi (Mafuyu's song) along with Shogo Yano (Mafuyu's voice actor). I believe the backing might also be the Given band, but I'm only confident in this fact as it …

“There’s not a place where I’ll go You’ve not already stood.” —Sunday Sermonette because I’m Struggling

This isn’t a sermon, really. It just sounded like a fun title. You know. Double S. Anyway. I am struggling, though. And I’m gonna talk about God—talk about how He comforts me despite the way things are going now. (I feel like I should mention in case anyone is new, if you’re not a Christian, …

“Fuyu no Hanashi,” from the anime “Given” (English)

Just like a sprinkling of snow left in the shade When spring arrives, these feelings, they will stay What words are there to clear my bed of love? And should I even want to try when everything that blooms grows to look like you? Your life was lost to winter’s edge, and you’ve no more …

Tipsy Takes — Songs from Anime that Make Me Feel Stuff

Caution: As you might have guessed, this is the second installment of Tipsy Takes. I'm tipsy. My hair is still pink. Read the first post on Karnaval here. I love spell check. Haha. Sober notice: All comments written after I've regained my composure look like, well... this! Song #1: https://youtu.be/8MhwXa75XUg Let's be honest; if you've …
