Dororo – Episodes 5 & 6: A Song For the Righteous (With Plyasm)

Well, it's been a few weeks since the last one. I seem to have a knack for inviting trouble along... and, well... trouble happened. If you didn't see my twitter, I got a pretty nasty head injury and was pretty out of commission for a while because of it. Clearly, not something we'd planned for, …

Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 2: The Tanuki Slave (With Plyasm)

Another week, another pair of episodes, and we've swapped up the shows this time! That's right, if you want to see my take on Episode 2 of Dororo, you're all gonna have to skedaddle your beautiful tushies over to Plyasm's blog for that! Well, this set of episodes was honestly no less good than the …

12 Days Wrap-up

Well, I'm a day late with this, but i'll count it as my Day 12 of the 12 Days of Anime posting. After all, I did make a promise to finish, though I didn't expect how busy i'd get over the holidays, having a surprise friend's wedding to attend in addition to some other things. …

12 Days of Anime 2018

Well, I don't know how it took me this long to find out about this, but this seems like it'll be an absolute blast! I'm always down for a friendly challenge, especially one that will force me to abandon my (notoriously) catastrophic scheduling and pre-planning abilities and actually try to have some consistency in my …

Spellbooks and Horoscopes: Boueibu Happy Kiss! Episode 8

With a decisive victory and some shocking (and embarrassing) revelations during Mahour Shoujo Ore, our heroes now look to defeat their next foe. It’s certainly more powerful than last week, so how will they fare? Astral: I think both shows had a stronger episode this week than last. I’m not sure why, as Boueibu had …

Spellbooks and Horoscopes: Boueibu Happy Kiss! Episode 5

Astral: Oh boy, i’m gonna be honest with you here. This was actually my least favorite episode of the show so far. It just felt like there was a lot of substance lacking from the story in the episode, lots of filler through meaningless dialogue and the extensive transformation scene. The enemy didn’t really hold …

Spellbooks and Horoscopes: Boueibu Happy Kiss! Episode 2

Coming straight from their battle with Episode 3 of Mahou Shoujo Ore, our heroes have already spent a lot of energy dealing with the monstrous technique known as “the flashback”. Unfortunately, a new enemy already stands in their way, with even more in store...   Astral: We had yet another great week in Boueibu this …

Spellbooks and Horoscopes: Boueibu Happy Kiss! Episode 1

Having taken on Mahou Shoujo Ore episodes 1 and 2, Astral and Aria are only just beginning to get into the swing of things. However, Astral seems kind of nervous...   Astral: Oh boy, we’ve got quite a bit to discuss here. Boueibu Happy Kiss definitely isn’t the kind of show I usually go for, …

This is a clickbait title. Click me!

So this was a super fun, short Collab post that a bunch of Anibloggers including myself, Moyatori, Shokamoka, and MagicConan14 did over on Plyasm's blog with him, talking about the clickbaitiest anime titles, and how they baited us into watching them. Half ranting, half making fun of each other, and all one heck of a …

Spellbooks and Horoscopes: An Introduction

Astral: Hey there, everyone! I’m a chatty guy, and i’ve told you guys quite a bit about myself over the lifetime of my blog. A not-so-well-known fact about me, however, is that i’m a HUGE sucker for Magical Girl shows. I’ve seen tons of them, from Madoka, to Sailor Moon, to Shugo Chara, and more. …
