There are a few anime I’ve watched that left me at such a loss for words that I decided that I would never write about them out of respect for the impact they had on me. It was almost like there was an innate thought that no matter how much I wrote, it wouldn’t do justice to the aforementioned impact. The big three…
Effective 2 September, I will no longer be writing for the site AniTAY. This comes as a result of an incident that was not a first time offense. During the evening of 1 September, one of our writers made a statement that didn’t settle well with me (the metaphor about “tying (your) own noose”), and I had very…
Looking through my archives and document listing the series I have written about, it amazes me that I have yet to write about one of my all time favorite series, FLCL. The 2000 series gave an imaginative spin on puberty for a young man that was nothing short of an artistic piece or an absolute train-wreck, depending…
As I was archiving old posts I’ve made for guest spots and now defunct publications, I came across a post that I was rather fond of. With permission from my old editor, I wanted to share a live reaction piece I wrote back when the second season of Owarimonogatari aired roughly this time last year. When I originally…
It appears that in Japanese theaters, there has been a trailer floating the date of 2020 around for the epic series newest film. The Rebuild of Evangelion has been a divisive topic for anime fans, but we’ll see how it shapes out the same year Japan is to host the Olympics.
Generally, anime is often filed into that category of “if it looks bad, just leave it be” since there are more productive things to do with free time such as isolating myself from the rest of society as I build Gundam models or go hiking in the woods. However, there is a rare bird that flies through the window that…
When there is news of a franchise being turned over to new hands, it can naturally create a bit of an unease among fans. Unless someone is really yearning to see adaptations of source materials under new direction, generally fans will voice frustration/fear/protest to changes like all humans naturally do. In some…
Brave Shine, baby.
It is remarkable that there are only enough runs left that you can count them on one hand. Today I am resting, and tomorrow I have five miles to go. As a matter of fact, there are only five milers left to do with exception of Sunday, which is nine miles. I’m going super rogue on the schedule, but this whole training…
Hey everyone! It has been a great past week for training. I managed to put up sixteen miles in four days despite having to take an emergency rest day in the middle there. I rebounded quickly too because on Sunday I hit my long-run finale with 18.5 miles. I feel great and ready for the event. My schedule has me cutting…
There is an unwritten rule in most anime circles that should never be broken: Never start a conversation about Evangelion. The simple mention of the name creates an effect that can (and will) ruin relationships, turn people away from anime, and ultimately just pollute the air with a toxicity that is incredibly…
Sorry I missed a week, I’ve been busy training!
Hey guys, I decided to do a Dubs w/ Dil video for once. I assure you there isn’t a RickRoll or anything, just poorly edited (ha ha get it). Anyways let me know what you guys think.
Fans at Anime Boston were in for a treat earlier this week when the mood erupted into euphoria over the announcement of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 coming in the Fall.
I’ll get it out of the way now and say I haven’t been watching as much newer anime as I did last year, but the one show not named Pop Team Epic that I have been watching week to week on FunimationNow has been GARO: Vanishing Line. Yes, I know how much everyone has been liking Laid Back Camp, but it doesn’t have an…
What a difference a good week makes! If you recall, last week I only got 34.7 miles and expressed some disappointment over that. So far this week I’ve blown the expectations out of the water! As of today (Thursday) I’ve done 19.1 miles. I only took one day off so far (Tuesday because of snow- I was able to put up with…
As reported earlier today by Anime News Network, CAPCOM has proudly announced that there will be a second season to the anime based off of the hit game series. Still being animated by A-1 Pictures, this anime was found guilty of a less than favorable response from fans.
Things have been tense for college athletics lately (well, tenser than usual, anyways)- the FBI has been squeezing the details out slowly on an investigation they did into corruption of various men’s basketball teams, choosing to release expense sheets for what appears to be players “loaned” money by agents for…
Hello all, I hope you’re doing well. Life has been super busy between work, school, and of course this training for the marathon. I decided I should write journal updates letting everyone know what’s going on in the training since I have been absent from Twitter with exception of my articles being shared to my profile…
No matter what level one is practicing it, comedy is a wild world of trial and error. As true as any art, someone might find everything about comedic works to be side-splitting and hilarious, while others could be downright offended. When television is involved, it is no secret that jokes and performances have been…
