Despite my aversion to giving Boruto a chance, Naruto’s lore has always been one of my favorite instances of world building. All the Kekkei Genkai in Naruto Shippuden and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations have been some of the coolest power dynamics I have seen in a Shonen anime. There’s just something about how all of

I belong to the camp of people that believe every anime and manga series out there has its niche. Far be it for me to judge what is or isn’t overhyped, considering how other people might judge my own tastes. But one thing that is pretty ubiquitous amongst anime fans is their love for Shounen
If you’re anything like me, you were left in a state of awe and intrigue by the rollercoaster ride that was ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’. This unique manhwa managed to weave together elements of action, fantasy, and an immersive plot that left us hungering for more. Luckily, the world of manhwa is as vast as it
I’m kind of amazed at the evolution of anime in pop culture. Anime has grown from a niche hobby to a worldwide phenomenon. With studios not relegated to being just in Japan, we have seen an outpour of animated shows from all over the world. But here in lies the question: Are all animated shows,
I love when an anime or manga has its own little lingo thing going on. Like little terminologies or phrases that are wholly unique to the story alone.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of WebToons and Manhwa. Ever since I discovered the Line Webtoon app, I’ve been consuming content at the speed of sound. However, a lot of them were mostly western releases and I didn’t focus on the Korean ones. And then, I stumbled upon Remarried Empress. I think
Even though I am someone who has always been extremely welcoming toward anime-inspired Western creations, I somehow never understood RWBY. So when the announcement for RWBY Ice Queendom came, I was rather skeptical of it since RWBY hasn’t really done justice to its fans. Even in its heyday, back when Tumblr was still a free-for-all
Anime or manga? The question that most otakus tend to ask when asking their fellows about getting into a new series, though in recent years light novels have entered into the fray as well given the wealth of adaptations based on those that pop up these days. But for today, we focus on a more
One Piece is known for many things, but cheap deaths aren’t one of them. I give the popular franchise a ton of flak, but honestly speaking, out of all the Big 3 anime of the era, it is possibly the most popular. And it owes much of that hype to its polished world-building and well-thought
