A chill place for anime gamers
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF RE:ZERO! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE! There will be comparisons to the light novel but I won't spoil anything that hasn't happened yet in the anime. I don't normally do episode reviews. I prefer to watch a whole series before I give my thoughts... Continue Reading →
No one complains about anime more than anime fans, but I think we can all agree that it's one of the most diverse and creative forms of storytelling out there. And Flip Flappers is pretty much everything I love about anime. It’s a psychedelic wonderland that combines magical girls, mecha, cyberpunk, DBZ-style fight scenes, Jungian... Continue Reading →
Just as I thought I was finally getting sick of isekai anime, My Next Life As A Villainness: All Routes Lead To Doom swooped in this season with a genuinely fresh take on the genre. Sure, it's an escapist harem fantasy romp, but it's also a romantic comedy with a hilarious female lead, who's harem... Continue Reading →
(TW: Transphobia. I was thinking about writing this after my Anime Pride Month posts are done, but it's fresh in my mind and I just wanted to say something now when people still might actually care about it.) When I was in third grade, I did my first book report on Harry Potter and the... Continue Reading →
(Spoilers for Madoka Magica and Madoka Magica Rebellion) Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a lot of things. It's a dark deconstruction of the magical girl genre. A chilling mix of fairy-tale whimsy and cosmic horror. A meditation on hope, despair, utilitarianism, and the pain of growing up. But more than anything, I see Madoka Magica... Continue Reading →
It's hard to talk about LGBTQ identities in anime without mentioning Revolutionary Girl Utena. Created by production staff from both Sailor Moon and Evangelion, this series uses the trappings of shoujo manga, fairy tales, Greek theatre, and avant-garde cinema to create a wildly subversive story about two queer girls trying to find their own path...

Media representation of LGBTQ+ characters is important, but it’s often hard to find characters that represent our community accurately without harmful tropes or stereotypes. Queer characters are often villainous or the butt of jokes, and so many of them are killed off that TVTropes had to separate its “Bury Your Gays” page into different sections!... Continue Reading →
When it comes to 90's magical girl anime, you can't get much better than Cardcaptor Sakura. Coming off the success of both Sailor Moon and Pokémon, the show had a great blend of adventure, romance, and wholesome slice-of-life moments. I loved it as a kid, and I still turn it on whenever I need a... Continue Reading →
I'm an introvert and dislike large social gatherings, but one exception is Pride. I've gone to my local LGBTQ+ Pride Parade every year since 2015, and I always have a blast seeing everyone in the community. But we won't be getting any parades this year, for obvious reasons, so I guess I'll have to celebrate... Continue Reading →
(TW: Racism, murder, Trump, sexual assault, bullying) America is a racist country. Racism has impacted every facet of our society, from healthcare to education to especially our broken, overly militaristic and corrupt criminal justice system. The police have way too much power and there is a culture of violence and hatred inherent in the force.... Continue Reading →
