At Yaoi Con last year, I saw lots of cosplay from this manga. After looking into it I had seen that it had just started as an anime in October! So of course I added it to my Cruncyroll queue, because the character design looked right up my alley. So far, I’ve been right! From …

Anime Review: Kuroko No Basuke
Okay guys, I’m going to be reeeeal honest right now. I haven’t finished this yet. You know why? Because I remembered I don’t like sport-themed shows. But in all seriousness, I feel like I really tried with this one. I watched 14 episodes, trying so hard to stick with it. Some of the characters I …
Anime Review: Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi [World's Greatest First Love]
In my quest to try to branch out and watch new anime, I decided to suck it up and try watching one based on a boys-love manga. Now, I know that I read a lot of LGBT books, but I have a serious problem with most Japanese boys-love anime/manga. This problem mainly comes from the …
What I Managed To See At Comic-Con [Part 1]
I had the opportunity to go to Comic-Con this year, though it was for my day job. Due to this, I wasn’t able to see a whole lot, but I wanted to share with you what experiences I could. Unfortunately I must keep my day job top secret [I feel like a superhero, that’s kind …
Madoka Magica – Actually Not Cute, Just Really Effed Up
I know what you must be thinking. “But Alex, these girls look so cute and adorable! This is obviously just a fun show about magical girls with some potentially tough stories but in the end everything is great! They even have a sidekick cat!” I’m sorry, dear internets, but you would be mistaken. Terribly. Mistaken. …
First Impressions: Madoka Magica Anime
Okay, instead of just jumping into an anime review, I decided to approach this one like I did for Tiger & Bunny. Madoka Magica is in a genre that I generally don’t get into these days, BUT it seems to be extremely popular in the cosplay community. So I’m curious. I didn’t do any research …
Anime Review: Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
This anime was first released in 2005, and I had heard of it, but when it became available on Hulu I finally decided to check it out. It should be noted that this series is labeled as “loosely based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas”. It is definitely a loose translation, but one that I …
Tiger & Bunny – Done!
Oh, Tiger & Bunny. I was with you until the end. You went places that I was actually going to with you, but then you pulled out at the last minute. You chickened out. I really wish you had stuck to your giant mecha guns and been okay with . . . Well, maybe you …
Tiger and Bunny – Halfway Through Review
Okay, so I know what you might be thinking: Wait, it took you HOW LONG to get through only 12 episodes of an anime?I know, I know! I fail in my otaku ways. But this time of year is crazy in the world of my ‘real job,’ and so unfortunately anime had to take the …
Anime Review: Romeo & Juliet
I started watching this show because the art was gorgeous – which is sometimes the first thing that gets my attention. After seeing the art, I thought it would be fun to cosplay – so of course I had to watch it. Also, I do admit to enjoying the play. I was in theater in …
