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 …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 4
We've seen what a kabaneri can do in the past episodes and one can agree that they are the superior, stronger beings -- albeit they have their own Achilles heel. Given this, a full house of kabaneri can't survive in this harsh world even if they seem to be unbeatable. They have to -- or …

Flying Witch – Episode 4
Have you ever been in a situation wherein you're listening to a joke, and you guessed how the punchline will end up but the way it was executed made the laugh even more satisfying? Flying Witch sure did crack me silly this episode. It's been a while since I giggled at something genuinely, and watching …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 3
After a week's delay we're finally getting the much awaited 3rd episode. It certainly didn't disappoint - in fact, I'd honestly say this is perhaps one of the series' best so far. Our cast is basically taking a breather and sorting things out each to their own, but whether or not they're in the battlefield, the decisions …

Flying Witch – Episode 3
I find this show a bit more enjoyable than normal due to the fact that I'm a country bumpkin myself. I've pretty much spent my whole adolescent-teenage years in our small rural province, yet I never got the time to till the soil off our backyard, much less pulling weeds. Hmm, maybe I did try …
Flying Witch – Episode 2
I looked forward to this episode and it surely did its job well in keeping my mind off from stress after a long day's work. Flying Witch's second episode is as comfy and relaxing as you can get. Add a sprinkle of humor, and you should be good for the day. I'd associate this show to …
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 2
All right, so where do I start. It's the first time I watched and listened to the OPÂ of Kabaneri and it blew me away much like the rest of the episode did. Well, what else can we expect from EGOIST? There are a few hints or perhaps spoilers we can pick up from the opening …

Flying Witch – Episode 1 | Mystery After Six Years
Mind you, I'm a sucker for a slice of life genre, and Flying Witch managed to push all the right buttons from the get-go. Something about our "professional" witch, Makoto Kowata (Minami Shinoda), pondering if a snowball is edible just feels funny to me. It sounds stupid and mundane but each punchline in this episode …

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 1 | Frightened Corpses
Attack on Titan in steroids. As if the setting and plot isn't blatantly obvious enough. Helmed by the same studio and staff, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is the spiritual successor of Attack of Titan in a better way - so far as the first episode goes. Kabaneri quickly gives us a ride in this …

Break the chain
Today is just like any other day I can barely remember. The only difference is that I did something new-this post. I've been thinking of (and daydreamed of) making a blog or a site for reviews. Sorta. I want to not because I can, but mainly because I just want to start doing something new. …
