Oh man, friends. Oh man. The entirety of Fruits Basket: 1st Season has aired, and I enjoyed it so much, as you have probably noticed on my Twitter. This is one of the best adaptations of a manga I have seen, honestly. It would have been difficult to do worse than the original Fruits Basket... Continue Reading →
I watch a lot of anime. This is probably the thing I consume the most of in video form, actually. I'm not a huge fan of domestic television, mostly because it goes on forever and never gets anywhere, or randomly gets somewhere too fast (I'm looking at you, Dollhouse) but anime tends to really jive...

And we're back! Spoilers for Dororo this week, previously discussed in this post. The baby should never have lived. Hyakkimaru, the rightful heir to the Daigo name, was meant to die. His death, in the mind of his father, was necessary, noble. It was right. Hyakkimaru belonged to him. If Kagemitsu chose to give his... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved anime and realized that there was endless amounts of it on Hulu. She promptly subscribed, and got lost in anime for months. This is not her story.

I read the novel Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones recently, and it sparked in me some thoughts about adaptations and reimaginings in anime. We've had a lot of controversy about some of those recently. Take Ghost in the Shell, for example, one of the most widely adapted of the anime franchises. I am sure everyone... Continue Reading →
Recently, I've been getting back into anime, and it's been remarkably nostalgic. My tastes in anime are eclectic, ranging from shoujo romances to action packed horror stories. I've been watching anime off and on for a long time, starting as many in my generation did with an early induction via Adult Swim. Anime such as Cowboy... Continue Reading →
Warning, folks. This is a long one. There are some things that really exhaust me when it comes to anime. I've been watching anime off and on for pretty much as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was totally hooked on Sailor Moon, and the Japanese live-action import of Power Rangers. I... Continue Reading →
