Bofuri fails to be what many would consider a good show. In fact, it does have a lot of elements that I, myself, along with many others criticize in other fantasy (game) shows like this for being. The unexplainable game mechanics that make the game broken like any of Maple’s skill, replaceable, boring and boring … Continue reading Why Bofuri is so fun (the Anti Darwin’s game)
On having to watch anime (and watching weekly)
Consuming anime feels a little different when you have to watch and discuss them. In the past, I’ve always watched anime by myself, binge watching every show I can find. And throughout my life, I’ve never been a person who enjoys watching anime weekly. From a young age, anime — or any type of medium … Continue reading On having to watch anime (and watching weekly)
How Music in Slice of Life can transform「calming」into「relaxing」
Music affects our viewer experience, often much more than we end up realizing. When reading media reviews, especially ones concerning anime, I often see a lack of focus on the sound section.

Kyokou Suiri Episode 8~10: The up, the down, and the repeat

Kyokou Suiri Episode 6~7: Magical Girl Iwanaga Kotoko
Episode 6 and 7 were both delights. While watching episode 5, I said that I’d probably enjoy watching the three of the characters talk with white background for a few hours. And these episodes (especially episode 6) were the closest that we ever got to that. Both of the episodes continue to have the fun … Continue reading Kyokou Suiri Episode 6~7: Magical Girl Iwanaga Kotoko

There’s always some conversation going on in any community that involves story-telling about whether spoilers are good or not. And for the most part, people always argue in favor of no spoilers.

Kyokou Suiri Episode 5: At least they don’t have PTSD
I know I am a little bit behind, but I wanted to talk about these episodes individually because there is so much to look at. And episode 5 is no different. This episode had a lot I enjoyed and a lot I didn’t so much. The episode first starts off with a fight scene that … Continue reading Kyokou Suiri Episode 5: At least they don’t have PTSD
