And there we have it. Considering Flying Witch as one of the best in the iyashikei/slice-of-life genre on par with Aria and Hidamari Sketch isn't an over-exaggeration nor an over-appreciation. To each his own tea, as they say, as a certain sub-market of anime consumers tag Flying Witch (or any other iyashikei/SoL shows) as "boring" or …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 11
Consider this: a Rockman game starring Ikoma and his nail-gun, blasting away kabane left and right. You can also switch between characters like Mumei -- a mix between melee and ranged combat -- or Kurusu -- if you believe R1 spamming is the real deal. Man, Kabaneri would make a great 2-D side-scrolling game for …

Joker Game – Afterthoughts
One thing I like about cryptic whodunit shows is how it allows the viewers to connect the dots to give us a rewarding epiphany should we guess right. However, that doesn't seem to be the case with Joker Game as it bluffs its cards faster than Gus Hansen can. Instead of allowing us a breather to …
Mayoiga – Afterthoughts
I normally drop shows that I find uninteresting (sorry, Kiznaiver), and such is why I am quite surprised that I even managed to barely waddle myself past this nightmare called Mayoiga. Even so, it's a show that goes well with a popcorn in hand, rather than hiding underneath a blanket expecting for jump-scares to materialize …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 10
All right, boys. So how do we make Kabaneri interesting again? Easy. Let's kill Takumi! Ehh!? We should include Ikoma too because he's the MC and our viewers can be sure he'll be back next episode with some newly acquired supah powah! Well done, Kabaneri. Just... well done. Honestly, I should've taken Kabaneri with a grain …

Grave of the Fireflies – Afterthoughts
This post is more of a reaction than that of an analysis or a review (well, partly a review, I guess). Grave of the Fireflies has been out there in the open for decades and I'm pretty sure most of you guys have seen this movie twice, if not once. With that said, I'll spare …
Flying Witch – Episode 10
Having non-existent cooking skills myself, it's like rubbing salt to a wound just by watching Nao clumsily survive their Home Economics class. While it's fun to watch the trio's goofiness in the kitchen, I feel kinda bad laughing at Nao. I'm much, much worse than her -- seriously. So bad that it's probably a better …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 9
If you think a giant colony of fused zombies isn't enough, wait till you see a kabane that can shoot laser. Evolving from a standard zombie apocalypse to a battle against a psychopathic tyrant and a laser shooting monster; just how will Kabaneri wrap itself up? Unnecessary blood was shed this episode as Biba finally made …

Flying Witch – Episode 9
Eyyy~ Eyyyy eyy eyyyyyy eyyyy eeyyyyyy -- reminiscent of those highschool moments when your seatmate makes snickering and annoying sounds to tease you and your crush reminds me of how awfully embarrassing this is, even more if your crush denies it and calls you "that thing". However, when viewed as a spectator, I can't help but …
Overlord – Volume 4-9
What started as a casual read turned into an obsession -- a craving. I've been meaning to post about Overlord last week but I just can't find myself to stop flipping the pages and remind myself, "Hey, you've been reading for 2 days straight. Git sum lyf". Welp, I think I just set a new …
