Ever since I’ve outgrown the tradition of dressing up in a spooky costume and going doorbell-to-doorbell asking for candy, I’ve instead made a new tradition for myself where I marathon spooky video games; my favorite among them being Japanese horror games such as Zero, better known as Fatal […]
Big giant NO Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Though more than a day late, I felt compelled to honor the horror festivities we had this season using this humble little Japanophile blog of mine in some way or another. Rather than diving into some bizzarro horror manga by the likes of Itou Junji and such, […]
The suffering continues… My interest in actively discussing Puella Magi Madoka Magica died down significantly during the past couple of years. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the original anime series and enjoyed watching both of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Beginning Story and the Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Everlasting Story films, but […]
Here’s a Puella Magi Madoka Magica parody of GARO’s episode previews to celebrate I’m like, two months late on this, but I just heard that the live-action GARO franchise was getting its own anime that will air some time this year.

Which is why I always try my hardest to see the positive sides to anything I watch, read, and play. There are quiiiiiiiite a few […]

Suffice to say, it starts out pretty happy, but since I’ve watch the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime series, the quick shift to utter darkness didn’t catch me off guard this time around. I have […]
Holy effin’ balls. This is the creepiest manga I’ve ever read. No bullshit. Screw Higurashi. Screw Battle Royale. Screw that Highschool of the Dead BS. This is true horror on black and white pages. I recommend everyone to kill their lights and read this (unless you somehow manage to get a hold of the actual book, […]
More plot-oriented shows should add an element of surprise to their shows and drop the episode previews altogether like Shiki. We all know by now that episode previews usually spoil the crap out of us. Case in point: During last episode’s cliffhanger, I thought Tohru was going to die. At the start of this episode, it […]
The look on Natsuno’s face sums up my thoughts. Damn, this show is doing a good job at making me tense, especially this episode. Return of the dead!
