Sakura is not amused by your ignorance! Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card marks the return of my all-time favorite magical girl, Kinomoto Sakura (and magical boy, looking at you Syaoran!) into the world of Japanese animation, starting off the 2018 year on a good note. And I’ve returned from the dead to explain some very common […]

As the quintessential Cardcaptor Sakura fanboy around the blogosphere, I felt it was only right for me to start writing about my thoughts on this at some point. A continuation of the series after 20 years is a pretty big thing, after all. You could mess around with Digimon Adventure tri. or Dragon Ball Super […]
Read MoreAbout six days ago, the Kickstarter for the Kodomo no Jikan English localization successfully raised enough money to officially bring this manga series to the English-speaking world for the first time ever, since Seven Seas’ failed attempt to bring it over to the US as Nymphet in 2007. I’m familiar with the series, and honestly, […]
Read MoreAlright, let’s talk about English dubs. I don’t talk about dubs much, mostly because I haven’t seriously watched one since Samurai Champloo’s (amazing) dub. I don’t even bother playing Japanese video games with English audio either (nowadays I don’t really play localized JRPG’s that lack a dual audio option). I do like a few of them, […]
Read MoreWhen Nippon Ichi Software America released their premium edition of the Cardcaptor Sakura Blu-ray collection in 2014, I was obviously the happiest person on Earth finally being able to own the definitive viewing experience of possibly one the cutest anime series in existence, at an affordable price. And everything was almost perfect, especially the video […]
Read MoreAlright then… first post of 2016. Sorry about the sudden disappearance of new posts. What was supposed to be a month-long break from the blog for school turned out to be a disaster. You see, I was going to write a Christmas/New Years post about my 2015 weeb highlights for 12 Days of Anime, but […]
Read MoreThis particular season of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya was something I was looking forward to. Somewhat-different-but-still-best-girl, it premiered on my birthday month, for one, and I honestly couldn’t wait to see Ko-Gil in action coming off from the manga. Unfortunately, as enjoyable as it still was for me on its own, Silver Link did a mediocre […]
Read MoreThis makes it the fourth time I’ve seen this shot Okay, so I’m back to wrap up the Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works post I started ages ago. Instead of squeezing in the VN’s original epilogue at the end of the previous episode, Ufotable did a great thing by producing an entire extra episode with new […]
Read More-I am the bone of my sword- 体は剣で出来ている。 ‑Steel is my body and fire is my blood- 血潮は鉄で心は硝子。 ‑I have created over a thousand blades- 幾たびの戦場を越えて不敗。 ‑Unaware of Loss- ただの一度の敗走もなく、 ‑Nor aware of Gain- ただの一度の勝利もなし。 ‑Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one’s arrival- 担い手はここに孤り 剣の丘で鉄を鍛つ。 ‑I have no regrets. This is the only path- ならば、わが生涯に意味は不要ず ‑My whole life was […]
Read MoreFake Assassin’s battle with Saber here is pretty damn disappointing, with how quickly it all went down. We didn’t even get to hear an anime rendition of Shippu no Kenshi, “Sasaki Kojirou“ ‘s own theme, in the anime. Dammit Ufotable. It’s sad because this is the only route where Fake Assassin feels remotely relevant to the […]
