The other day I was grabbing an iced coffee (for the girls) at my local Tim’s and I saw these kids roll up in their bootleg Naruto shirts. These kids looked cool. They had a basketball in hand, cool sneakers, they were wearing Nike head to toe – they were not nerds. So the juxtaposition …
As many of my friends know, I have a tendency to love things a little too much, without realizing that we are all different people and that what I love might be different from what other people love. However, when I say that the Chainsaw Man anime will be the next torrential storm in anime …
I recently reread Slam Dunk for the first time as an adult. For context, the last time I read Slam Dunk – I was in high school and I graduated in 2013. It’s been awhile since I’ve picked up the series that I have always considered in my personal top 5. Saying that Slam Dunk …
Like many seasonal anime fans, I am watching Sono Bisque Doll. It’s cute, it’s quirky, it’s a lot of fun, and it has just enough fanservice that doesn’t estrange the average anime fan. So far it’s been really good – with only four episodes in, who knows – this might be the best one true …
2021 was the greatest year for anime in the history of anime. I don’t even think that is much of an exaggeration given the titles released this year. From blockbuster hits such as Shingeki no Kyojin and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, to smaller projects like Odd Taxi and Ousama Ranking, and dynamic entrances from Mushoku Tensei or 86 – …
I love Cowboy Bebop. I have said time and time again that it is without a doubt, my favourite anime series ever. Nay, not just anime – just favourite story ever. I believe that Cowboy Bebop belongs in the world of classics such as the Illiad or Romeo and Juliet. I love Bebop that much …
Since the pandemic started, I have been going crazy consuming content. Usually anime and manga. However, as I bought a tablet back in April – I have been going HAM on reading manga – watching less anime than I have ever in the past few years. I’m absolutely just losing hours in my day just …
This title is clickbait. Touch is not the forgotten king of sports anime/manga, in Japan anyway. Touch has sold 100 million copies. To put that in perspective, in 6 years and 26 volumes – Touch has sold more than Hajime no Ippo (132 volumes), Kingdom (62 volumes), and Fullmetal Alchemist (27 volumes). Touch has sold close …

I’ve recently slowed down a lot on my anime consumption. It’s gotten to the point for myself where I’ve watched and have caught up with nearly everything that I’ve planned on watching. Most other popular completed series that I have not watched (like Monogatari – sorry just don’t care for waifus), will remain unwatched because …
If you are my close friend you would know that Cowboy Bebop is my all time, all time favourite series ever, perhaps even across all mediums. I think that the anime, including its movie, is probably as close as you can get with what can be considered perfect fiction. It is well written, directed incredibly, …
