I’m Getting Too Old For This…Except, I’m Not.

So, originally I was going to stick to my usual programming of 'one post every few days...maybe', but I've had this topic on my mind for a while. I know it's not just me that's thought about this. No matter what fandom you enjoy - anime, video games, comics, or hell, your favourite band. There…

The Bad, and the Ugly – Shows That I Just Could Not Finish.

There seems to be a weird misconception sometimes, that if you like anime, then you like ALL OF IT. You like Dragon Ball Z? Then you must've liked Clannad! Loved Death Note? I bet you're a big K-On! fan! And sure, many people do explore everything within the medium. However, occasionally you do seem to…

Not Just Pretty Faces! Is Free! More than Just Manservice?

It’s Lit – Quite Literally: Inferno Cop Review

Recently, I was having a conversation with someone online, who pointed out I appeared to be a big fan of Studio Trigger. Which is true, I am a big fan, and rank their work among my all time favourites. Yet there was one title, I'd never quite gotten around to...and thus, my introduction to the…

Boku No Hero Academia: What Your Favourite Class 1-A Student Says About You

Like every other anime fan on the planet, I too have been watching (and loving) Boku no Hero Academia. If for whatever reason, you haven't seen Boku no Hero Academia yet... have you been living under a rock?! Check it out! One of its strongest suits, in my opinion, is the cast. To me, there…
