Insights and obervations from someone who has been there and back again
Across the country, Halloween is seen as a time for tricks and treats. People young and old celebrate with candy, costumes, and scary movies. And, every year, blogs and websites erupt in “top ten scariest movie/candy/pizza” lists to commemorate the occasion. This year, though, I’d like to deliver a different type of scare. Tonight, I’d [...]
As many of you already know, Anime Expo kicked off earlier today. This is the biggest convention of the year, as it attracts over 46,000 attendees every year. For reference, Bristol County, where I was raised, contains three towns that span 45 square miles and have a combined population of 49,875. So, in this sense, [...]
I’m aware that this is an anime blog, but I’m also a huge gamer. I rarely leave the house without my trusty 3DS, and I’ve debated for countless hours on the whole “Old Square vs. New Square”, “Virtua Fighter vs. Tekken”, and “Final Fantasy vs. Dragon Quest” topics.

The AniSpring challenge is in full swing, and I’m midway through what I’ve been calling “phase two.” The challenge has been brutal. I’ve been watching a show that makes me groan outwardly, preparing a review that I didn’t intend to write for a few months, and I’m genuinely nervous about what the next title will [...]

So, before I begin this challenge, I’d like to just get a breakdown of the results: The Sacred Blacksmith: 33.33% Eden of the East: 22.22% Rayearth: 22.22% Spice & [...]
[bwpdaddy id='5062112'] Voting is open for phase two of the Anime Spring Cleaning Challenge. Please choose the title you’d like me to cover from the list above. And please, be as ruthless as you wish!
As months go by, and life goes on, many things tend to get neglected. Over the past year, I’ve managed to amass a fairly deep viewing backlog, both through purchases and review screeners. Unfortunately, this isn’t the type of problem I can simply ignore. Instead, the longer I wait, and the more I procrastinate, the [...]
Anime Boston is quickly approaching, and I can’t help but find myself scrambling and rushing to finish everything. Interview questions, panel notes, even basic itinerary are falling under the microscope as the seconds tick down, and April 22 creeps ever-closer. This is the final stage of a vicious pattern that tends to repeat every time [...]
