Fantasy and science fiction books and blogposts
I've become a lot more selective about what anime I can commit to as I've gotten older. A lot of times I will watch one or two episodes of something that really seems like a good concept and just can't get into it. And at first, I thought Erased was going to be one of... Continue Reading →
Way back during MystiCon this year, I got to take part in a very lovely conversation with Sarah Oliver, Black Dahlia, and Wickedly Stitched Cosplay about Fruits Basket, one of the most beautiful, tender, and strange stories on hereditary chains of abuse that I have read. And it got me thinking about why I love... Continue Reading →
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 the story of Momozono Nanami, who accidentally becomes a god. One of the things I loved... Continue Reading →
So I've been watching a lot of anime lately, due to having more than doubled my streaming services.

Anime watching, for me, contains a... Continue Reading →
So I watch a lot of anime, I've mentioned, though not as much as some people. I found this anime, which originally aired through 2006 to 2008, while looking for something that would feed my insatiable hunger for more Akatsuki no Yona (which is still up there on my top three along with Ouran High School...
