A simple blog for weekly anime stuff.
My goodness. That's probably one of the most visually appeasing animation I've seen in a while. It lasted only half a minute, but I had to lower the video speed to digest everything that's happening within a second. If you haven't heard yet, KyoAni recently announced a project adapting the award winning light novel Violet …
I'm glad I wasn't drinking my OJ when the fox barked. I was actually half expecting that the fox will indeed say kon kon as what Makoto explained -- but yes, the fox BARKED. For the time being, the ignorant me will believe that they really make barking sounds until I do my Google/Youtube search …
Our heroes can finally breath a sigh of relief as they reach their checkpoint. As luck would have it, they just made it in time for Tanabata! We've seen the lighter side of the crew in this episode as they take on mundane problems such as bargaining for a squash, kicking some rowdy bushi's ass …

Tabi Machi Late Show is a short series that manages to convey its theme of "goodbyes and journeys" in a very simple and endearing way. It's one of those short-form anime that is often ignored amidst all the mainstream titles airing at the same season. Ironically, I enjoyed Tabi Machi more than half of what …
Flying Witch makes me want to take a paid leave, then set off with my cat on a Sunday morning stroll. If only I can hold an actual conversation with my cat, this idea would be perfect. This week's installment is equal parts relaxing and cute. We've gotten no less than what we come to …
Just when we thought it's game over for Ikoma and the crew, they strike back and capped the episode in probably one of the most epic moment yet this season. I just love how Kabaneri manages to fit a lot of things in this episode. The pacing from the first part felt a bit slow …

If you're a fan of the Spice and Wolf series, you surely must have heard about the release of the 17th volume which marks the epic conclusion of Holo and Lawrence's travel. Having heard of it last month spurred me to dig into 2-feet deep of digital copies of Light Novels, anime, and other stuff …
Flying Witch blends both the mundane and the supernatural together to form a truly satisfying experience. We are treated yet again with another fun-filled slice of life showing with a twist of fantasy as we join the Kuramoto family's silly antics in this episode. There are few kinds of laughter that are just contagious. Even if the …
Yikes. Now that took a quick turn from bad to worst. Ikoma and the crew are faced with their toughest obstacle yet. The appearance of a "titan" kabane and with Mumei out for the count, I can't see a way for them to overcome this unless they burn the whole garrison down to the ground. …

I'm not a proactive manga reader. I usually pick one up because waiting for a new season of an anime adaptation feels too long and excruciating specially when it ends in a cliffhanger -- or, as it is with most of the shows these days, when it won't be getting any new season at all …
