She is Lily (Or Shrimpy, according to Saki).

12 Days of Anime: Ayano from Hanebado!

She's not very passionate about badminton. She's obsessed with it!

She was a soldier who only knew war, but she grew up and learned how to love.

Manga Recommendation: Berserk

Berserk is a story about suffering...and then a lot more suffering and struggling...

I Like Bad Anime

Some anime are just bad...but some of those "bad" anime are also some of my favorites. (Some spoilers for Darling in the Franxx, Charlotte, and Akame Ga Kill! are ahead)

12 Days of Anime: Time to Prepare!!

November is coming to a close and December is almost upon us...that means it is almost Christmas!!

Anime Recommendation: Violet Evergarden

If you really want to cry, watch Violet Evergarden.

Anime Recommendation: Revue Starlight

I doubt you'll find an anime that is just as strangely beautiful in the way that Revue Starlight is strangely beautiful.

Anime Recommendation: School-Live!

It's Halloween so why not watch a psychological horror anime like School-Live!

Who knew that badminton could be so...dramatic?

Anime Recommendations: "Asobi Asobase"

Asobi Asobase might not look pretty, but it is probably one of the funniest anime that I've ever seen.

Abridged Anime Recommendation: Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z Abridged

The season three finale of Dragon Ball Z Abridged came out yesterday and it was epic!!

Anime Recommendations: Revolutionary Girl Utena

Revolutionary Girl Utena is about a girl who vows to become a prince, but was that really such a good idea?

Thoughts on "High Guardian Spice"

Crunchyroll is producing their own "anime" series and many are already disappointed just from the first look.

Life After Watching an Awesome Anime

After watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, I've barely watched any anime and have only been thinking about Utena.

Why You Should Watch "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid"

A slice of life anime about a very odd but lovable little family.

Why You Should Watch "Comic Girls"

It's not just cute girls doing cute things. It's cute girls drawing manga.

First Impressions of Summer 2018 Anime

It can get pretty hot this summer, so why not stay inside where it's cool, enjoy a snow cone, and watch some (hopefully) quality anime.

Why You Should Watch "Golden Kamuy" (Season One)

It may just look like a brutal historical anime, but it is also full of heartwarming and endearing moments.

Should You Watch "Darling in the Franxx"?

Is Darling in the Franxx a contender for "anime of the year"? Or is it one of the most disappointing series of the year?

Watching "Megalobox"

It's the classic story of an underdog who fights his way towards the top, but what does he fight for? Why does he fight?

Why You Should Watch "Hinamatsuri"

An anime about an ESPer living with a yakuza ended up being one of the funniest anime of the spring season.

Why You Should Watch "Penguindrum"

This is one of those anime that goes places that you couldn't have imagined.

Why You Should Watch "My Hero Academia" (Season 2)

Putting the skills and abilities of heroes to the test makes for one of the most epic tournaments!!

Why You Should Watch "A Place Further Than The Universe"

This anime hit me hard...and it didn't even need giant monster fights or really uncomfortable fanservice.

I am 100% sure that you have never seen an anime like Pop Team Epic.

Why You Should Watch "91 Days"

A show perfect for anyone who loves classic gangster films and dramatic mysteries.
