“I am a murderous monster. My hands are stained red. Could one such as I truly hope for such a life? As the sole survivor of that day, do I... Do I have the right to live for myself?” Dimitri Alexandre Bladdidyd, leader of the Blue Lion house and crown prince of the Kingdom of... Continue Reading →
Deca-DENCE: I’m Not Mad, Just Disaapointed
Hella Spoilers on this one. I wanted to avoid giving away too much, but with a show like this, I have to talk about some of the plot twists to explain my full thoughts on it. (Yup, this is going to be a long one.) If you prefer to watch anime blind and just want... Continue Reading →
Fire Emblem Arcs: Claude Von Riegan’s Dream For A Better World
(Yup, it’s another Three Houses character post. This is slowly becoming a Fire Emblem blog, but I promise I’ll have some anime content too, eventually. Much of the research for this post comes from Fire Emblem Wiki.) Even before Fire Emblem Three Houses came out, Claude Von Riegan was the game’s golden boy. Maybe it’s... Continue Reading →
Fire Emblem Arcs: Dorothea‘s Inner Beauty
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 →
Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul – When You Gaze Into the Abyss, the Abyss Gazes Into You
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 →
Re:Zero S2E13 – The Show That Makes Weebs Cry Constantly
Y’all, I’m going to level with you. This one’s a bit by the seat of my pants. Usually I take extensive notes for each episode, but I was so entranced by this one that I didn’t want to miss a single moment. Let’s just jump in, shall we? Satella is the final guest of the... Continue Reading →
Sword Art Online: Progressive – The Anime Asuna Deserves?
Sword Art Online is the ultimate love it or hate it anime. But my feelings on it are kind of... eh? I watched it a couple years ago working a late night job, and it was entertaining enough to keep me awake during my downtime. After the first arc, though, the writing issues became more...

Re:Zero S2E12 – Something Wicked This Way Comes
Okay, maybe quoting Macbeth in the title is a bit cheesy, but I thought it fit. This episode is one of the darkest in Re:Zero yet, as Subaru returns to the trial and learns the ultimate consequences of Return By Death. We finally meet the last of the Sin Witches, and Echidna reveals her sinister... Continue Reading →
My Autism Diagnosis Journey
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 →
Mari’s birthday special: My Favorite Anime Blogs
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 →
