When I was in elementary school, I was thirsty for anime. This was a time where anime was still incredibly niche, way more niche than it is now. Whenever an anime series aired on television, I would watch it. Even if I didn’t enjoy it, I would sit my 7 year old bottom down to …
A little over 10 years ago, HBO released this little series called Game of Thrones. It was pretty big and was hailed as maybe the greatest television series of all time. Shortly thereafter, it seemed like everybody was flocking to read the original source material, as more often that not the book is better than …
When I watched the first episode of Zom 100, I couldn’t believe it. This is a guy in his early 20’s who starts working for an advertising agency (like me), is super gung-ho about it at the beginning (like me), realizes that it’s a freaking tough job and breakdowns psychologically (like me), but was once …

I want to thank Anime North for granting me a media pass for the entire weekend. So yes, for an entire weekend between Friday and Sunday I spent it at Anime North. Not just Canada’s largest anime event but an event run by volunteers – a truly non-profit event meant for a large community of …
The other week, I wrote an article about Creed III and mentioned that Michael B. Jordan loves anime. Obviously the man has good taste, I’ve seen what his girlfriends have looked like, I’ve watched his selection of films – the guy clearly has good taste . . . but not in anime. He says that …
Whenever the question of “what your favourite television show” comes up, my head goes to one place. In 1998, the manga Great Teacher Onizuka otherwise known as GTO was adapted and released as a live action series. This manga was a smash hit detailing the hijinks of a former bike gang member – Onizuka Eikichi …
Recently, I went to see One Piece Film Red with my friend Shirley. To be honest, I feel a strong 6/10 on the film – it wasn’t the best OP movie I’ve seen but there was a lot about it that was entertaining and the performances were good enough. Plus we got to see a …
