Another Year, Another Problematic Crunchyroll Anime Awards

March 9, 2023

You know, I poke fun at the Crunchyroll anime awards a lot. I really do but, sometimes me picking fun at it is just me hiding thinly veiled resentment. It’s one of those things that I just–it annoys me. I’m sure those of our followers know that we host our own anime awards and have … More Another Year, Another Problematic Crunchyroll Anime Awards

The Trainwreck of RWBY – All downhill since Crunchyroll

February 23, 2023

It’s Otaku Thursday yet again. Though existentially, I wonder if an Otaku Thursday is aptly named on a blog that is all otaku all the time? Today IRL it is incredibly snowy from a blizzard that came out of nowhere, so we’re bundled up inside catching up on shows. One show, that I watched today, … More The Trainwreck of RWBY – All downhill since Crunchyroll

“Omae wa mou shindeiru” – Weeb Stereotypes: Bad Japanese

February 27, 2020

You know what I kind of hate? STEREOTYPES. Now, don’t get me wrong, I probably stereotype a bit but have also been stereotyped my whole life. And because I’m a weeb (I didn’t choose the weeb life, the weeb life chose me) that means I have been approached by normies with stereotypes too.

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