I can’t say that the Spring season has caught me by surprise since I’ve been looking forward to it for months now. There are a lot of shows coming this season that I’m sure will conten...
Since this is Symphogear’s 10th anniversary I really have wanted to do something to celebrate it. This franchise won me over pretty early on and just kept going strong until it was one of ...
There is something enjoyable about looking back on the past year and seeing the good that came from it. There are great shows that lived up to your expectations or you didn’t see coming. O...
A new year is ahead of us and with it a new season of anime. Winter is truly here and we’re just going to have to stay warm and enjoy some new shows. This time of year is always the busies...
Time keeps moving along and another fresh season of anime is ahead of us. Summer has been an interesting ride in how I’ve whittled down the shows I’ve been watching to a handful. It hasn...
