A chill place for anime gamers
The 90’s and early 2000’s were a golden age for the JRPG genre. Games like Final Fantasy VII and Xenogears redefined video games as a storytelling medium with their rich characters and deep themes. But these games can often be tough to get into, due to their dense plots and obtuse battle mechanics. That’s what... Continue Reading →
Sorry everybody, but I’m going to have to take an unexpected break from blogging for a while. I just lost my dog Muffin, who’s been part of the family for well over 10 years. He was the most amazing friend I could ever ask for. I’m grieving a lot and having a hard time coping... Continue Reading →
2020 was a horrible year, but one of the things it taught me was how to appreciate the simple comforts when life gets too overwhelming. A brisk winter's morning, a hot bowl of pasta, a cuddle sesh with my puppy, and nostalgic Legend of Zelda games from my childhood. Replaying Zelda has become my yearly... Continue Reading →
Japanese animation made some major milestones in its early years, but it wasn’t until the 1960’s and 70’s that it developed its own identity. This is when the distinctive anime art style emerged, when mecha and magical girl anime first took over the airwaves, and when anime first became exported around the world. The world...

What’s gotten into me? I’m not usually into this stuff. I think the pandemic has finally broke me. I’ve spent the last two weeks watching these goofy 3D anime girls playing video games and... basically nothing else. What can I say?

SPOILERS for the Crimson Flower and Azure Moon routes of Fire Emblem Three Houses. In every route of Fire Emblem Three Houses except one, Edelgard is the primary antagonist. Her war against the Church of Seiros forces the squabbling factions in Fódlan to unite and fight against her Empire. In the first half of the... Continue Reading →
Maybe it’s just because the pandemic has made everyone bored and stressed out of their minds, but all I’ve wanted to do lately is play Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I’m like a year late to this party, but I can’t get enough of the tactical gameplay, epic dubstep-inspired soundtrack, and especially the rich story and... Continue Reading →
I’ve been procrastinating on this one. Made in Abyss is one of those anime that I love, but I have to be in the right headspace to get the most out of it. It’s so deep, dark, dense, and makes me feel intense emotions all over the spectrum. I usually need a hot beverage to... Continue Reading →
It’s been a crazy couple weeks for me. After a year of being self-diagnosed, and 29 years of knowing I was different but not knowing why, I finally decided to get a formal autism diagnostic evaluation. And oh boy, was it a doozy! I guess I should explain why I did this, since there is... Continue Reading →
Today I turn 25... for the 6th time. I don’t really have much planned for today for obvious reasons, but I wanted to give y’all a gift. And by “gift” I mean “more anime blog recommendations”. I think we all follow each other anyways, so some of these might be redundant, but I also wanted... Continue Reading →
