My Blog About Whatever

Well, the time has come once again. As Christmas draws ever nearer, seasonal anime have begun to wrap themselves up (pun completely intended), and the decision on what to watch in the next season has to be made. Luckily, I've got quite the line-up decided on already, including not one, but two anime that are continuing from the fall 2024 season! I want to list all of the anime I plan to watch during the winter 2025 anime season, and I'll start with the ones I'm continuing. Continuing Anime #1: Blue Box Gotta say, I'm really liking this one so far! It has really pretty animation, and it balances both the sports and the romance parts of its story very well! Not only that, but the two love interests actually have really good chemistry! I could go on about how much I love this anime, but I think I'll leave my feelings in a review, should I decide I want to write one. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the second half of Blue Box! Continuing Anime #2: Tying the ...

When I started my  review blog  back in 2015, I had a goal to write and post 100 reviews to the blog. I didn't care how long it was going to take, nor did I care how badly-written all of the reviews were going to be; I just wanted to get 100 reviews on the blog. Throughout these 9 years, I had phases where I would constantly write reviews and phases where I wouldn't write any at all; heck, I didn't write any reviews in 2023! During the phases when I would  write reviews, I would also feel a lot of insecurity, as I'm really not that good of a writer at all, nor am I good at explaining things. Despite all of that, today, I finally did it. I posted my 100th review to the review blog! (This girl is from Menhera Shoujo Kurumi-chan, if anyone was wondering.) I seriously can't believe I did it. Through all of my struggles and insecurities, I actually accomplished something I wanted to accomplish. It took nearly a decade, but I still did it! When I realized I was finally ge...

Ah, yes. The Fall 2024 anime post that I promised a couple of days ago is finally here. Not sure if I'll actually be able to watch them all, but I'll at least try! Sorry, but I'd like to get right to the list, okay? Okay. Let's a-go! 1. Acro Trip Remember "Gushing Over Magical Girls"? Of course you do; it just aired earlier this year. I actually watched it as it aired just because I thought the premise of a magical girl fan becoming a villain fighting against said magical girls was a kind of cool concept, but it's definitely not for everyone, given its heavy amount of fanservice. I knew about Acro Trip before I knew about Gushing Over Magical Girls, though, and while I didn't really care about what it was about - I was just starving for new magical girl anime that wasn't Pretty Cure - it seems to have a similar concept. I feel like it might be able to be a good alternative for those who might be interested in Gushing Over Magical Girls's concep...

Given how I wrote a blog post back in March about what anime I'll be watching during spring 2024, you would think I would do the same for summer 2024, but....uh, it's the end of September, and two of the anime I've been watching have finished airing already. It probably wouldn't have been the most accurate of lists in hindsight, anyway, given how I ended up watching some anime that I wasn't planning on watching, anyway. Well, given how I'm way  too late for my "What I'll Be Watching During the Summer 2024 Anime Season" post, I'll just list what I've been watching instead and some quick thoughts on each one. I'd also list what I plan to watch during the Fall 2024 anime season, but I think it'd be better for blog post length and overall focus on the topic to just make a separate post for that. Well, enough chatter; let's just get to it! 1. Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf Out of all of the anime I watched during the sp...

  A phantom thief? JOKER the Phantom Thief?! Back in March, I created a blog for song lyrics I made up. Until a little earlier this month, the only lyrics on that blog were for an original song I made up for a story I still haven't fully written. At some point, I remembered something that I knew I could put up on the blog. You see, back when I was playing Persona 5 (the vanilla one; I still need to finish Royal at some point), there's a little something I'd do while exploring Mementos. For some reason, I would sing the "doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-ba"s from the Perry the Platypus theme from "Phineas and Ferb", a show I used to love as a child; I'd even time it so that the Morgana-mobile, as I like to call it, would hit Shadows right when I got to the "ba". I have no idea why I did it; I just did. I was randomly thinking about this at work one day back in October of 2023, and then, inspiration hit me. I should write Persona 5-themed lyrics for a par...

(WARNING!: This blog post will contain spoilers for the entirety of the first season of the Total Drama Island reboot. Proceed with caution.) Well, it's finally happened. The first season of the Total Drama revival has fully aired in the US, and people no longer have to scour the Internet to watch this season illegally. (The second season is currently a different story, though....) Given the whole Total Drama Reunion debacle from 2021 and how soon the revival's announcement came after that, it would have been easy for me to ignore the hype and boycott these two new seasons....but unfortunately, I'm a sheep who had been starved for new Total Drama content other than Total Dramarama since The Ridonculous Race ended. (Speaking of Total Dramarama, I sort of dropped it after episode 18 or 19. I don't remember exactly which one.) That being said, I knew that I'd be able to watch it legally at some point, so even when the Total Drama revival came out in Italy and the Engli...
