There’s no higher praise for an anime than saying it made me read a book. The first novel of My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected was even better than the anime. The author found a way to […]

July 2021: Throwback
Higurashi’s back with a vengeance, literally. Answer arcs are moving quickly at only 3 episodes each, so it’s your lucky month—you’re getting one video for Oniakashi-hen and another one for Wataakashi-hen. Tanya the Evil may be a fascist, but her […]
March 2021: Cheapness
If you’re looking to punch your ticket to Japan and don’t mind being poor, you may want to consider working for Interac. For all their faults, they’re still a million times better than AEON. My first Aria post in 13 […]
February 2021: Diplomacy
Higurashi Gou finally branches off into 100% original territory with Nekodamashi-hen, giving Rika tons of new and creative ways to get slaughtered. I must confess, I only realized in the middle of making my video on Railgun T that the […]
January 2021: The Great Reset
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first console game I’ve played in five years. Halfway through the game, it feels like a combination of the most boring parts of Shadow of the Colossus and the most boring […]

November 2020: First Impressions
First impressions are generally worthless. Case in point: the internet’s reaction to the first episode of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou. I figured I couldn’t do any worse, so I reviewed Onidamashi-hen and Watadamashi-hen. My first impression of Haiyore […]
October 2020: Time Loop
For my annual celebration of The END Day, I talked about dropping the Higurashi manga. To make a long story short, the Higurashi manga couldn’t make a long story short. Posts forthcoming on both the new anime and the old […]
Summer Travel Roundup: 2014
Kyoto Approximately 70% of Kyoto consists of temples, shrines, castles, and souvenir shops. They’re pretty cool, but if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. I didn’t go to the Geisha district. They’re too family-friendly in this day and age. […]
Umineko (anime) > Umineko (VN)
Remember how everyone was always bitching about the Umineko VN being SO much better than the anime? (Yeah, I know you could replace “Umineko” with any VN adaptation and hear the same bullshit.) I watched the anime. Then I read […]
