"Consider, can the universe be justifiably called infinite? Doubtful. It may not have a discernible end, but it had a beginning and its component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf-life. Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything, it's that scientists often make very poor poets. We're all just a ship of fools chasing phantoms, heedless of what really underwrites natural law." – Okabe Rintaro
Back near the end of last year, I released a post talking about the Babylonia singularity of Fate/Grand Order. I talked about the characters, the story, and how it's one of my favorite singularities in the whole Fate/Grand Order timeline. And now, the Anime covering that singularity is finally out!! So, what did I think …

Welcome to Day 11 of the 12 Days of Anime. And... well, it's not TECHNICALLY an Anime, since i'll be talking about Fate/Grand Order, but... hey, it's close enough, right? Basically, I juts wanted to talk a little bit about the recent Babylonia singularity that released on the EN version of FGO. The first thing …

Recently, the lovely Irina wrote a post on her blog called The Lighter Side of Deconstructions, where she analyzed Comedy anime, and several forms of 'deconstruction' that can occur in that genre. I left a comment on that article, as it reminded me of an assignment I once had to do in my Advanced Theater …
For a very long time, there was one dish from Anime that I coveted above all else. A dish that looked so divinely delicious, so incredibly appealing, how could I possibly not want a taste? Angel Beats is the show that originally got me into Mapo Tofu; the brilliant, glowing red sauce coating the soft …
Wow, you guys! So many of you had a great, positive reaction to my first post trying to make some food out of an Anime, I've decided i'll be trying to do it as a regular thing, a couple times a month. I really enjoy cooking, myself, so having a chance to branch out and …

So you guys probably know that i'm a pretty big fat of the Fate franchise. I've seen all of the major series and movies, read quite a bit of the lore associated with the series, and I even play Fate/Grand Order quite frequently on my phone. So it's no surprise that i'm already loving the …
This fight has been going on for several episodes now, something that I would probably criticize in a normal Anime. HOWEVER. This being a Type-Moon show, and not just any Type-Moon show, but one that pits 2 teams of 7 servants and masters each against each other. This means that, while a battle may span …
Boy, do I love Mordred as a character, and Episode 6 gave me just what i've been looking for: more Mordred screentime. Seriously she's on screen for almost the whole episode, it's awesome! We get some backstory into why Mordred hates Arthur so much, as well as a bit more info on the classic Saber, …
