A simple blog for weekly anime stuff.
The climax of the Cell Saga, Roy Mustang's incineration of Envy, the battle against the Spiral King in Gurren Lagann, Attack on Titan's pilot episode, Cowboy Bebop's Ballad of the Fallen Angels... these are just a few examples of my on-going list of favorite anime episodes. And this week, I'm glad to say that a new entry has …
Oh, look. It's the quest I never bothered to finish! Episode 9 is thankfully a huge improvement from last week's lackluster performance. Though if I have to be candid, it's starting to become difficult for me to see myself liking this adaptation than what I initially expected out of it -- unless they have something …
Episode 8 is as straightforward as it can get. Divided into two parts like with previous episodes, we get to see more of the Diving Club's members' personality through each of their own perspectives. I'll say this as early as now: I'm glad I chose Ai as best girl. Both halves of this episode was rather simple, yet, what …
It's not everyday that we take a moment to sit back, reminiscing those times we made mama angry, or, smiling at the thought of something stupid your 7 y/o self would probably do. We're too preoccupied with what's in front of us nowadays, and, normally, that very same preoccupation will slowly evolve into a daily routine -- a …

They may be brothers, but the similarities can only go so far. Mob Psycho 100 delivers yet again with another satisfying episode that ended in yet again another cliffhanger. Oh, boy. You know what, Ritsu reminds me of basically any troll on the skin of the Earth who happened to learn about internet. He may be smart, …
I honestly don't know what to make of this episode. While it's nice to have Sorey and the crew back on center stage, it would've been a much better welcome party if the hype the storm -- and Velvet's advertisement -- built up hadn't been so... anti-climatic and underwhelming. Yes, I get it. Again, I'm led to believe that the …
Amanchu! has a lot of great episodes that it's starting to get difficult deciding which one is my favorite. I watched this episode four times just to digest and understand what makes it so entertaining and soothing to watch, and that should be enough of a proof that it belongs to this show's best of the best. Or rather, …
For the last 3 months, I've been shredding my brain cells and scribbling on my notebook in preparation for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test N5 come December. After half a decade of relying on subtitles and waiting for the localization of games I'm aching to play, I finally decided that enough is enough. Just how many cute things cute girls did that I missed …

Following the explosive finisher we had last episode is yet another heavy build up of hype this week. I can barely contain my curiosity on what's going to happen next! At this rate, I'm seriously considering catching up in the manga. Episode 6 is thick with character development and progression, as the stress doesn't only limit …
I can't bring myself to be salty about this episode considering that Berseria is giving Zestiria a run for its money. Seriously. I'm bummed out that Berseria's inclusion into ToZX's narrative is entirely irrelevant aside from being a promotional propaganda. I'm not even sure if blogging this and the previous episode was worth it because I don't see myself playing Berseria's game …
