Digimon Adventure WHY — I mean, Psi

April 3, 2020

So, I haven’t talked a lot about this on this blog before but…I LOVE Digimon. Like love, love Digimon. I grew up on it and it’s always been my fave childhood show. I’ve watched every single season, every single movie (except the newest. Curse you CV). Hell, Digimon Adventure Tri made me bawl as a … More Digimon Adventure WHY — I mean, Psi

The Complexity of Yaoi (the good and the bad)

February 12, 2020

So yesterday Star covered the very important and very lovely topic of Yuri. But today, today it’s all about something I love and have lots of thoughts about—Yaoi. The forbidden boys love genre whose fanbase is LOUD. And I mean really, really loud. But yaoi, to me is both a enjoyable, but complicated, genre…that a … More The Complexity of Yaoi (the good and the bad)

RWBY Volume 7 Thoughts (and a small rant on the Finale)

February 6, 2020

Taking a small break from anime reviews for today, I thought I’d instead turn my attention to something that recently came to a close—RWBY volume 7. Now, because Star isn’t a fan of RWBY, and because my brother is only fun to rant to for so long, I thought now is the perfect time.

An Abstract Concept: Sarazanmai

December 5, 2019

Recently, Star mentioned to me that she’d heard about Sarazanmai a lot as of late. And I, of course, showed her the Reo & Mabu dance sequence. But after that, I felt the need to explain to her how Sarazanmai is an experience that a lot of people have strong feelings about—it was either really … More An Abstract Concept: Sarazanmai

A Love Letter to Sirius the Jaeger

October 24, 2019

I don’t think there’s a good way to describe my fascination with Sirius the Jaeger. Actually. That’s a lie. There is a very simple way to: OBSESSION. But not in the, it’s all I can think about way. Obsession like, I care a lot about it. See, I found this when it came out last … More A Love Letter to Sirius the Jaeger
