Welcome, my friends, to the 2022 You Can’t Know WordPress Anime Awards hosted by yours truly–Luna and Star. I am incredibly excited to bring you over 48 hours worth of work and ENDLESS hours of anime watching in this year’s Anime Awards. Now, a little history if you’re new to us at We Be Bloggin’…

Hey it’s the last day of Niji Nights 2026 and I always look forward to another edition of this post, where I get to highlight new (or old) characters of color in Anime! Surprisingly, I found a lot of new characters especially from one anime in particular. There are of course some creative freedoms that…

Out of all the anime we watched recently, there was one we were very curious of, but also one we actually never finished. It was pretty much the only GL that we found on the docket of anime last year (a disappointment compared to previous year). This anime was not exactly what he were hoping…

It’s another day of Niji Nights 2025! I’ll start off with the complexity around writing a post like this one. Many of you may not be as aware of the homophobic nature that Japan has but queerness and openness surrounding sexuality is still closeted when it comes to professionalism and some creators. Many of their…

The day has finally arrived in a most perfect time like Niji Nights 2026 where a post that, in all honesty, I had avoided writing. But with Star’s gentle coaxing, and in a month all about gender expression, love, and acceptance, I decided it was finally time. Now, don’t get me wrong–it wasn’t that I…

Out of all the anime that Star and I watched in 2025, one of them was both truly incredible and also incredibly short. That show was none other than Karaoke Iko!, a painfully short five-episode anime. Karaoke Iko!, or in english, Let’s Go Karaoke!, was a simple premise: a high school choir boy meets a…

Hey again! We’re back for yet another day of Niji Nights 2026! This year I thought to bring up an interesting topic relating spiritualism and acceptance in a food for thought topic. It’s about enlightenment and happiness, an a way the two coincide and that is what makes this practice extra special. So let’s get…

Welcome to Niji Nights 2026! It’s that time again for another Webtoon highlight! It’s been an interesting year of comics new and old but there’s still more to discover and binge. Love me to Death Honestly, I should have read this years ago but since I came on late the hefty stack of chapters was…

It’s that time of year again when summer is in full swing and we’re celebrating festival after festival and event after event. Where Star and I live, our city is so filled with celebrations that they moved our annual Pride event to July. Which means this year, we decided to push our seven Niji Nights…

It’s day six of Doki Doki Days and we’re spicing it up with some more romance. But today, we’re not just talking about any kind of romance, today we’re going to be talking about educational romance anime. Because if there was one thing we noticed about some of the anime we watched this year, it…

Hello and welcome back to Doki Doki Days! We’re nearly to the end of Doki Doki Days but we still have some fun posts. Today, I thought I’d give you a simple list of some of our favorite shoujo from 2025. We didn’t watch a lot of them (at least in full), but here are…

Welcome to another day of Doki Doki Days 2026! Another year another list of the bestest of girlies pops and baby boys, those who we thought were the biggest supports, protectors of the peace, accepters of the outliers and greatest defenders and the teachers of tough lessons let’s go~ Best girl Kaoruko Riyo “The Ripper”…

When it came to shoujo anime in 2025, it felt like there was both a lot of it and also far too little. A lot of the shoujo we watched were underwhelming to say the least. But out of everything we did see, there was one anime that stood out by a long shot. The…

Happy Doki Doki Days! It’s that time of year that Star and I decide to dedicate several days to one common theme: love. From shoujo to couples, to our fave boys and girls, to otome video games. These next few days are dedicated to everything that would make your heart go doki doki. To kick…

Hey everyone! Welcome to yet another year of Doki Doki Days where we highlight love, romance, shoujo and more! It’s our fluffiest tradition here on We be bloggin’ and one of our oldest holidays to celebrate. Get ready for a lot of love, Hope you enjoy the ride! AishiteLOVEru, Xoxo YCK

On the 11th day of Weebsmas 2025, we give you our yearly wishlist! Where we wish for things that may or may not come true. Let’s dream of a better future for anime haha. This year we wish for… To be hero X to be back next year for season 2. A solidly good sport…

The holidays are a time to gather with your loved ones–which definitely means your weeb friends. Whether you’re close in proximity to them or not, it’s always nice to have a few games that you can play together, relax, and enjoy Weebsmas with. Here’s just a few games that we think would be perfect to…

On the 9th day of Weebsmas 2025, let’s talk about one is the most togetherness holidays of the year. New Year’s. All over the world we celebrate similarly, with fireworks and parties. But if you are there for the end of the year here’s all the things you can look forward to! Food Osechi Ryori…

We’re winding down to the last few days of Weebsmas! The past few days we have been making lists of our recommendations and our watchlists, so today we thought we’d make a list for ourselves. But no, it’s not our naughty/nice list. Today, we thought we’d share with you what anime we are looking forward…

On the 7th day of Weebsmas 2025, we thought the gift of 90s would be a nice gift for the throwback watcher. This list will be catered to the people who are interested in watching anime from a different era. That means, some of these choices may not hold up to the standards of today…

Welcome back to 12 Days of Weebsmas! As Star and I were going through recommendations, we thought: why stop at genres! Why not do years? We decided to start this by looking at one of our favorite time periods — a chunk that we grew up in known as the mid 2000s. In the time…
On the 5th day of Weebsmas 2025, I, Star, will give you a list of anime that is safe haha. Certain anime can give the wrong impression or be a little much for the average normie. So I will separate them into genres that are easily digestible for those who enjoy these kinds of stories.…

The bells are ringing, we’re snuggled up under our blankets with hot chocolate and watching anime this Weebsmas. Yesterday, Star brought you all kinds of horrible weeby Christmas sweaters, which means today we’re returning to our recommendation lists. While it’s too cold to go outside and play sports right now, we thought today would be…

On the third day of Weebsmas 2025, I, Star, bring you the next edition of Weeby Holiday Sweaters. I’m not gonna lie to you… This is absolute brain rot. You may lose braincells by looking at this series of blogs. Turbo Granny from DanDaDan Crona from Soul Eater The cast of Yu Yu Hakusho Kakashi…

For the second day of Weebsmas 2025, I’m coming at you with the opposite post to Star. Instead of looking at seinen, we will be looking at Josei anime. For those that don’t know, Josei is basically stories that are aimed at older girls and women. It often features more mature romance, career, relationships and…

On the first day of Weebsmas 2025, we’ve decided to give out some recommendation lists! With some people on winter break and some people stuck inside due to horrible weather, now is as good a time as any to start up a new tradition of recommendation watch lists, so let’s get started! Let me preface…

Merry Weebsmas everyone! Can you believe we’re here at last? We hope you all are enjoying a wonderful Weebsmas with your friends and family. Over the last twelve days, we have had the most fun bringing you all weeby content. From games to play, to recommendation lists, to some culture posts. Thank you for joining…

The bells are a-ringing, the cold is-coming, and we can’t believe December is already here! And with December, comes one of our largest campaigns. If you’ve been around, you know what it is, but if you haven’t, then I welcome you to our 12 Days of Weebsmas! Normally we reserve this holiday for Christmas content…

It’s quiet. The moon shines bright in the sky, clouds roll in to give it a chiffon dress. It’s cold and the streets bustle with the unknown of the night. Happy Halloweeb everyone! Can you believe that it’s already been 13 days of Otakutober? It feels like this month has just flown by! We hope…

Witches and warlocks, welcome back to 13 Days of Otakutober! It’s such a lovely fall night as I write this, nice and cold–dark–and we’re inside all nice and cozy. Which means it’s a perfect night for us to catch up on anime with a warm cup of hot chocolate or apple cider. But while we’re…
Welcome to another day of Otakutober 2025! This is our annual otome game post! This time we dived into a rather popular Otome game on mobile. So it’s all an app. Which isn’t surprising since there has been a rise in app-related otome games since Mystic Messenger. We thought it was about time that we…

I, Star, welcome readers to another spooky day of Otakutober 2025. I’m sure some of you Horror Otaku already know about the movie franchise and now classic staple of “The Ring” and “The Grudge” both starring curses and ghosts (with long black hair). So I’m going to break down some of the comparisons between the…

It’s that time of year again–or rather that time of Otakutober–where we get to recommend some of our favorite things to watch for spooky season. But today we’re going beyond just horror or scary anime. Today, we’re going to be recommending some of our favorite psychological thriller anime that are creepy, gothic, exciting, and some…

Welcome back to yet another spooky day of Otakutober 2025! And what better way to celebrate than a compilation series of exorcisms haha. It’s strange I, Star, didn’t watch this when it came out since it’s my kind of niche. But I’m glad I did and here’s why! Mononoke is one of the prettiest anime…

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another day of Otakutober 2025! Looks like we have never done a recommendation list for scary anime. Which is a little wild to be honest, since we’ve been posting this event for quite some time now. Oh well, let’s do it! Let’s start by saying that the anime we’ll be…

Something monstrous lurks in the dark. Large, filled with claws, drawn straight from hell. Welcome back for 13 Days of Otakutober 2025! I hope you’ve been enjoying your spooky content so far. Today, we’ll be diving full on into an anime review. And what better anime to review for the spooky season but the classic,…

Welcome back to 13 Days of Otakutober, our annual spooky blog holiday where we bring you “creepy, spoopy, and horrific” anime content leading up to Halloweeb! Today is gonna be a little less on the terrifying side and more on the silly side of things. It’s our annual Halloween costume inspiration guide! Just kidding. It’s…

Hey! Welcome to another day of Otakutober 2025! We need to talk about this movie. For those who know already, I, Star, have been reporting on Demon Slayer since the very beginning. I refused to get on this franchise for a good year or so after it came out, mainly because I figured it was…

Welcome everyone to another year of Otakutober 2025! What a wild year it’s been! So wild in fact that we changed our original blogging plan for this year’s Otakutober! Some things we just had to discuss! Like this one! What the hell happened to Uzumaki?? I, Star, will fill you in! For those who don’t…

Spooky. Scary. Skeletons.Hello all and welcome to You Can’t Know! The home of Star and Luna. Or in the case of who is writing this post, Luna and Star. Today marks the very beginning of my personal favorite blog event. If you’ve been around a long time, then you know what I’m referring to, but…

Welcome to the last day of Hotsui Matsuri 2025! In last year’s post we talked about some of the accessories and kinds of Kimono in a little more detail and in real life references than the post we made in 2020. So, I, Star, decided to pivot and cover some other traditional clothing anyone will…

Hello and welcome back to Hotsui Matsuri! Today we’re going to be returning to another installment of Nihongo Legends! And for today we’re going to be talking about another Japanese folklore creature. Today we’re talking about the legend of the Tengu. The Tengu is one of the most popular Japanese creatures of legend. Known for…

Welcome to another day of Hotsui Matsuri 2025! This is my, Star, favorite part of Japanese legends. It’s what makes legends into tangible things because some of these items have been located and stored in sacred places all over Japan. In this post, I’ll be talking about my favorite, the Japanese Imperial Regalia Yata no…

Hello and welcome back to Hotsui Matsuri! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post about Demon Slayer. Today, we’re going to be talking about something a little less anime and more about the cultural aspects of Japan. Today, we’re going to back to highlighting even more traditional Japanese instruments! Tsuzumi – This is another Japanese drum–a…

Hey! Welcome to the first day of Hotsui Matsuri 2025! It’s a fun time on our blog where we highlight Japanese mythology and traditional aspects within the culture so naturally we’re writing about Demon Slayer HAHAHA, I, Star, am joking, but not really. Demon Slayer has a lot of symbolism and history if you know…

It’s a scorcher out there ya’ll. I hope you all are staying cool and hydrated out there. We’ve been surviving and thriving and now we’re back at it again with another one of our holidays! Welcome all, to Hotsui Matsuri! If you’ve been around the blog for the past few summers, you’ll know exactly what…

Hey everyone! Here’s to another year of Characters of Color in Anime to send off our Niji Nights Event! I hope you enjoyed the posts and can’t wait to do this again next year! Anthy from Revolutionary girl Utena Kaname Tosen from Bleach Yutaka Babayaro Inomata from Re-Main Luffy from One piece Agni from Black…

Hello and welcome back to Niji Nights, day number six! Can you believe that we’re nearly at the end of Niji Nights? It seems like it just flew by. Tonight, on this sixth Niji Night, I’m going to be bringing you another installment of queer coded– a blog series that looks at an anime and…

Happy to write another post for Niji Nights! So I’ll start by saying I, Star, was late to the game on fully watching this anime series. Even without watching it, it was such a monumental anime as a pinnacle of GL shows. But also a great representation of a non-binary character. Now, I have watched…

Niji Nights is back again for day number four! Two days ago, I brought you a list of GL manga recommendations and today? Today I’m going to be recommending you some BL manga instead. Now, I’m an avid reader of BL and while there are many different kinds, these are some of my personal favorites…

Welcome to another day of Niji Nights 2025! I, Star, is back with more Queer Characters! Just a disclaimer that all rights belong to the creators and without background it’s not canon. I’ve included more non-binary characters this time around with some characters from anime that weren’t fully GL or BL but listed romance first. Joanne…

Niji Nights day two is here and where Star introduced you to more LGBTQIA+ webtoons yesterday, today I’m going to be sharing with you some other reading recommendations. Instead of webtoons, I’ve got some manga recommendations (after all, manga was my first love). So for all you GxG lovers out there, here are five Girls…

Welcome to the first day of Niji Nights 2025! I, Star, have been really excited for this post this year! There have been quite a few Webtoons that I finally joined in on and I’m OBSESSED. Nevermore I don’t know why I didn’t start this one when it came out! I feel like this was…

Hello all and welcome back to our weeby corner of the internet! Betcha thought this blog was dead and gone but alas, we live, and we live in the time of rainbows and free love. As our big comeback–the first time since February–we’re going to be doing a fan favorite (or maybe just one of…

Welcome to the last night of Doki Doki Night 2025! We’ve made it to the end and now we bring to you the second edition, of what we recommend in the Romance genre (here’s the first if you’re interested)! As a precursor, there are many other recommendations throughout the years and for our in-house PRIDE…

Doki Doki Days is nearly at an end and Star and I are currently snowed in. Which means I have all the time in the world to go on this rant, however, for sanity’s sake–I will keep this short. While we have talked about all the great things going on in the anime world and…

Hey ya’ll and welcome back to day 4 of Doki Doki Days 2025! We’re pretty excited about today’s content because it’s something that Star and I both really care about: mature shoujo (anime). I sort of mentioned this before during day 2 of Doki Doki Days, but today we’re really going to talk about how…

Welcome to another day of Doki Doki Days 2025! It’s been a really interesting year for Shoujo lately and that means something from me, Star. Given, my favorite genre is Seinen it’s always been hard for me to watch either Shoujo or Shounen. Mainly I wanted a good plot, great character design, unique artistic style…

It’s that time of year again –the time when birds are singing, the snow outside is somehow still around, and cupid is at his game matching up couples left and right. That’s right, we’re in the season of love, or as we like to call it: Doki Doki Days. We’re super excited to spend the…

It’s a wonderful weeby New Year! Here at You Can’t Know, we like to look at past, present, and future. We’d hit you with recommendations from the past and the present during Weebsmas, but as we enter into the New Year, we thought we’d write a wishlist of things we’d love to see this year…

Hello and welcome back to 12 Days of Weebsmas. Can you believe we’re already here at the end of 12 Days of Weebsmas? As always, we have had a great time bringing you recommendation lists, weeby Christmas sweaters, more winter cosplays, and so much more. And as always, our final parting gift to you in…

Hey, happy festivus everyone! We thought we’d do a Winter Holiday version of our Bingo this year! Let’s just see how many we can do this year~ Golly what a holly jolly weebsmas, haha. AishiteLOVEru~ Star

Hello and welcome back to 12 Days of Weebsmas! Today we’re going to keep it short and sweet with little to no exposition. Today we’re going to be talking about a few more cosplays that are absolutely ideal for the colder weather. If it’s snowing outside and you’ve got to take those cosplay pics, go…

Welcome to another day of Weebsmas! Here is the next edition of the Weeby Christmas Sweater relay haha. Honestly there were some really cringy ones this year. Spy x Family JuJutsu Kaisen Ahegao Dragon ball Tokyo Ghoul Beyond the Boundary Guilty Crown Death Note My Hero Academia One Piece And that’s all we have this…

Hey everyone! Welcome to another day of Weebsmas! If you’re joining us for the first time this year, we’ve decided to dedicate part of Weebsmas to preparation/appreciation for our end of the year Anime Awards! So for now, let us look back on some of our favorite Shonen Anime. Naruto We couldn’t possibly have a…

Welcome back to 12 Days of Weebsmas Day 6! How has it been for you all as we make our steady march towards Weebsmas? For us, we’ve been having a great time giving you these recommendations for anime. Today for day six, we continue in our genres and tackle one of the best–one that have…

Welcome to another day of Weebsmas! So for those of you who are here for the first time, we have decided to dedicate part of Weebsmas as a recommendation marathon, where we list our favorites in a variety of genres! (As partial prep of our Anime Awards) So we introduce to you the very first…

Welcome back to another day of Weebsmas! We are here to give another recommendation list for you all! As a reminder we collaborate on these posts to give you a wider range of selections of, this time, Family-friendly Anime for everyone to watch. We consider these as great first-step introductions into anime for kids as…

This year, we’ve decided to gift you all with some of our favorite posts to share – recommendation lists! Today, on day one, we’re gifting you a neatly wrapped list of our favorite…

Good tidings all you weebs! We are here another year to celebrate the end of the year till Christmas (or as we say Weebsmas). This year will be slightly different since, we actually have never done this kind of listing before, recommendations. We’ll be covering many genres and categories spotlighting some of the best mentions,…

Here we are once again. Welcome back to our 13th day of Otakutober and Happy Halloweeb! I hope you’re all ready to return to a place we’ve visited for Halloweeb past. For the past four years, it’s been the final destination on our journey into the spooking season. So buckle up, hunker down, and get…

Call me a jack-o’-lantern, because something inside me lights up when I see you. Welcome back to 13 Days of Otakutober. Can you all believe that we’re so close to Halloween? I hope you’ve all thought of your costumes, but if not I highly recommend Star’s annual post on some of the ‘best’ anime Halloween…

Hey everyone! It’s time for another blog in Otakutober! In this review you’ll find a note from Luna about her thoughts on the anime as well as my own. We’ll mention plot, music, art, popularity and origin stories. Now let’s get to it! Star’s overall thoughts: I will agree, it wasn’t special in terms of…

Welcome to another day of Otakurtober! Apparently, we have never made a recommended list for Scifi before! No time like the present, we’re going to list some of our favorites here and maybe begin it back next year. We have mentioned a few of these anime all throughout our blog in various other posts so…

Welcome back to another night of Otakutober! We’re back with more of what spirit Halloween has come up with. Which anime character debuts this year, let’s find out… (*Warning images you are about to see may be cringy and borderline disrespectful to the art of cosplay and Halloween.) Honestly, should have seen this coming. The…

Grim Reapers. Sometimes appearing in long dark robes, skeletal in shape, bearing scythes. Sometimes seen in flowing dresses surrounded by flowers. And other times grim reapers are seen in the shape of anime characters known as shinigami. What is a shinigami? Well, we have a handy post from past Otakutober’s you can find here to…
Welcome to another day of Otakutober! This is certainly the year of firsts for us. We are finally creating the beginning of our recommendation list for horror! (*Not to be confused by dark fantasy or psychological thrillers the shows listed here are Horror by myanimelist.com standards. ) Our list covers nearly 30 years of anime…

Hello and welcome back to 13 Days of Otakutober! I hope you all have been enjoying our haunting content (and are prepared for so much more). Today we’re coming at you with a list of some of the mostly ghostly characters we can think of. Here are some of our favorite phantom-like characters who are…

Welcome to the next day of Otakutober! Because of our deep love for Gothic anime this was at the top of our watch list when it came to new horror. Weirdly enough, it wasn’t that Gothic at all, I, Star, guess we didn’t read it close enough. “Variations” was nearly everything but the plot. Anyways,…

Ghosts and ghouls alike, welcome to 13 Days of Otakutober! I’m so ecstatic to be coming at you with some spooky and Halloween-themed anime-related content. I can’t wait for the next 13 days as we get to talk about all things horror, spooky, and downright creepy in the world of anime/manga/games. Fall is my favorite…
Hello Ghosts and Ghouls! It’s spooky season and we are back with more haunting weeby content for you all! This year our loose theme is Ghosts! We also decided to add actual recommended lists for Horror and Scifi for the blog. There will be 30 years of anime mentioned in these posts and highlights on…

Hello all and welcome back to Hotsui Matsuri! We’re on day five out of six so we’re in the homestretch now. Today’s post is highlighting yet another (non-anime) culture topic as we explore the realm of Nihongo Legends. A few days ago, Star introduced you all to the wonderful and quirky world of yokai, so…

It’s Hotsui Matsuri day four and today I’m going to be moving away from anime in my post to talk about some culture topics instead! I’m going to be revisiting a topic that I personally have loved over the past few years that we’ve done this campaign, and that is introducing you all to traditional…

Welcome back to another day of Hotsui Matsuri! To add to our Nihongo Legends collection, this year we’re bringing up Yokai! Which is an ever growing list within Japanese folklore. Yokai by definition are creatures of the spirit world born from many things in many shapes and sizes. So let’s dive in! To some, Yokai…

Welcome back to Hotsui Matsuri! I’m super excited to be back on the blog writing for this holiday. While we’ve been busy with our other projects, our love of anime has never truly faltered. Today on Hotsui Matsuri, I’m going to be diving into one of my favorite things to bring to everyone; anime watch…
Hey again! It’s time for our in blog festival Hotsui Matsuri to bring in the fall season! This year we will highlight more traditional Japanese instruments, yokai, akuma, as well as traditional fashion and supernatural anime recommendations. Below is our lineup: See you all soon! Xoxo AishteLOVEru~ YCK

It’s officially Niji Nights Day 6! If you read day three, then you’ve already been introduced to our Queer Coded blog series where we talk about anime that are written in ways that make…well for lack of better terms–bait us. Anime, for example, where two same-sex characters seem to be in love and yet are…

Welcome back, it’s another day of Niji Nights! This is a great place to highlight some of the greatest Queer characters in Anime! And just like the term, Queer is a big umbrella from sex, gender, to sexual orientation, I, Star, will be highlighting some of the greatest or infamous here today! Let’s go! Haruka…
