So, I was kind of always a ‘budget nerd’, so to speak. Back in my day, in the place I grew up, you really didn’t have a lot of access to things like the internet. So, a lot of my imagination and tastes were shaped by books I could find and consume. And a lot

One of the best things I’ve discovered this year is the existence of anime outside of Japan. And yes, we can go into the semantics of what does constitute anime and what doesn’t but let’s just go by the age-old adage of ‘if it looks like anime, it’s anime’. And, listen, the other countries aren’t
You know what is on top of some of the weirdest content I’ve seen? Isekai manga. Isekai manga and anime, by extension, happen to have some entries that are just so bizarre, that you can’t help but wonder what was going on in the mangaka’s head. But hey, they also end up making for some
As much as I believe that there’s an anime out there for everyone, there are still some anime to avoid. Like, sure, most anime have some redeeming quality. I hate on Guilty Crown plenty, but even I can admit that its initial animation was impeccable at the time. But, just like with every medium out
You know, I’m a big advocate for only starting stuff that is already finished, rather than putting yourself through ongoing works that leave you wanting for more. I do this with everything, from shows to the fiction I read. Which is why when I want to get into a series, I almost always tick the
An Isekai anime is bad enough, but having to keep track of characters in a Harem–Isekai anime like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation? That is way more difficult. Like, the number of women that Rudeus Greyrat meets, let alone that end up being potential love interests? Yeah, it’s easy to get lost. Which, hey, remember Sara, that cute blonde from the light novel? Do Rudeus and Sara end up meeting again?
What is an Isekai without its harem elements? I mean, that’s like macaroni without the cheese! And in Eminence in Shadow, the variation of best girls is honestly elite. However, the main protagonist himself? Yeah, he doesn’t look very interested. Which is why the question of whether Cid Kagenou will ever marry anyone comes up
Rating a series, like a manga or anime, on a whole is much easier than tackling it chapter by chapter, or episode by episode. At the same time, it leaves people wondering whether the series in question is consistently good, or if certain parts just stack up better next to each other. And the same
So, my thing with manga and anime is that, no matter what genre I pick up, I need it to have some romantic aspect to it. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good ship and I like there to be some interesting plot to help build said ship up. Usually, that’s not
Okay so, it’s no surprise that all the deaths in Mushoku Tensei are important. I mean, the series is an Isekai with high stakes, so a little dying here and there keeps things interesting. Besides, it makes you think twice about being attached to any one character, considering how you might never know where their
