What I Watched in June 2018 (recommendations and reviews for anime and manga)

My exams covered about half of this month and there was a holiday right at the end meaning I didn't watch too much, however there was still a week of pure nothing meaning that maybe I watched more than I thought! Trigun I enjoyed Triguns episodes even though I ended up dropping the show in …

Berserk is the Greatest Manga of All Time: Chapter 4

Since this is a review of the second chapter of the guardians of desire arc it's recommended that you read the previous one so that you can understand this post. We open the chapter directly after the previous, with Vargas, an ex-physician who got brutally mutilated, offering him the behelit in exchange for killing the …

A Tree in the Forest

This is a short story I randomly wrote for no real reason because I was bored. I was maybe thinking of using it as a backstory for one of the characters in another story I'm doing. The forest had been looping around him in circles; the traveller became more confused and confused as he slouched …

Drawing Your Manga As If It Was Terrible: Moka from Rosario Vampire

I span the wheel of terrible manga and landed on Moka from Rosario Vampire, thank you to Lita Kino for adding the suggestion to the wheel! If you want me to draw your manga as if it was terrible then leave a comment bellow! I don't think this is too bad really. The main issues …

Please Don’t Plagiarize me

As of a day or two ago someone has been releasing my posts online while pretending to be me, thinking I won't notice if they put my post there and back through google translate or badly change the grammar. Well I have noticed and please stop. I can't find a way to contact you but …

Berserk Is The Greatest Manga of All Time: Chapter 3

Yeah we're continuing with this series, where we go through all of the berserk chapters until the golden age arc starts, because I really like that early stuff as well! It's funny to me to have the start of a huge arc at the very end of volume one, where chapter 3 takes place. The …

My Reasons Why Tag

Thank you to a nerdy perspective for the tag, she has a really great blog which I highly recommend checking out if you haven't already! RULES: 1.      Mention the person who nominated you 2. List 13 reasons why you keep going/living (This is borrowed from the book but I’m taking it the opposite direction). 3.      Nominate 10 or …

Well I Was Wrong About Princess Mononoke!

16 months ago I put out a review in a "what I watched" post about Princess Mononoke saying it was boring and a waste of time. Now having watched it a few days ago I disagree with that because I really enjoyed the film! And with that it brings the number of Ghibli films I …

My Exams Are Over, I’m Pretty Happy About That.

In the space of the last two weeks I've had all of my exams and I can now relax forever. I've basically been ignoring all of you in that time, I've not read a blog post in ages, but considering the circumstances I hope you don't mind! Two years ago for my exams I did …

The Wind Rises Commentary

A while ago I watched the wind rises and filmed a commentary track for it! I would not recommend watching with the track on for the first time but if you fancy a re-watch of the film you may want to listen to it! I wasn't particularly impressed with the film and enjoyed airing my …

Music Week – Gattsu (Theme of Guts)

Here we are! It's the last day of music week and this one is a treat! Probably my favourite song of all time. I love it for the peaceful tranquility it communicates in a world of terror and war known as Midland. If you ever see me with my headphones on chances are I'm listening …

Music Week – Zelda’s Lullaby

Here is the classic tune Zelda's Lullaby on Piano. I think this one must be the short version or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFE7s4JMdCo   And because we're not all perfect... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJTaesHY8ik One more post left in the week, what's it gonna be?

Music Week – The Fun Won’t Stop (My Own Song)

It's very easy to make a song, especially when you literally use nothing but cords in a very easy and predictable sequence. I hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK-RTT9eLY

Music Week – Song of Unhealing

On the 2nd day of music week we had the song of healing. Now it's the song of unhealing which is the song of healing backwards. Why release a song which is the same as another only backwards? Well it sounds great! Also it's a huge part of the Ben drowned creepy pasta which is …

Music Week – Song of Storms Piano Cover

Here is the next installment in Music week, there is a big theme of Zelda songs here. That's because I'm a huge fan of Zelda and learned a lot of Zelda songs at the time for fun. Sorry because this one has a few errors in it that I can't phase out of my head, …

Music Week – Song Of Healing Piano

Here is my piano cover for the Song of Healing from the legend of Zelda Majora's mask. This is one of my favourite Zelda songs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Wwcc37RjU I hope you enjoy!  

Music Week – Saria’s Song/Lost Woods Theme Piano

Ever since I started this two posts a day thing I've been worried about the actual thing that I've been scheduling things ahead for. Exams. Since this is a huge week for exams I'm doing a week of posts that are very easy to make because I'm just sharing things I've already made. I can …

Pokémon Go Review – Nicknames are Everything (Part 2/16)

Welcome to the 2nd part of my thorough review of Pokémon Go where I discuss every aspect of the app to answer "should you play this game". Sorry for the long wait, I want to review this game before it completely dies in popularity so let's get right too it! Part one can be found …

Sora No Otoshimono/Heavens Lost Property Volume 1 Review

I watched all of Heavens Lost Property and thought that it was alright. Then I see a huge video series by Syy called a love letters to heavens lost property where he convincingly describes why this show is his favourite anime and I get his perspective. If you're thinking of watching the show then I …

Doreiku ep 4 – The Appearance of Ryouu Sama!

Things are really beginning to take shape now that a new story line was added this episode. I thought this episode may be a much needed extra story so that we had more than two teams against each other. Ryouu was starting to have a monopoly and it would have been good to have multiple …

Berserk Is The Greatest Manga of All Time: Chapter 2

Chapter 2 "The Brand" is the 2nd part of the three story arcs before going to the golden age arc and it's interesting that after this review we will already be 2/3 of the way through the stories. Chapter 1 "The Black Swordsman" is a huge chapter and is 90 pages long and chapter 2 …

Laytons Mystery Journey ep 1 – The Haunted House Case

There is no English name listed for this show on my anime list but the Japanese title (Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File) roughly translates to "Layton Detective Agency - Katrielle's Mystery Files" but I don't like that so much so Laytons Mystery Journey it is! It sounds like the game too. In the …

Liar Game Manga – 24 Round Russian Roulette Review

Yeah we're back to doing this again! I've skipped the contraband game for now and we're on to this because we've not only got a review but comparisons to the live action version to make! I really love this arc in the manga because it takes something completely random and puts predictability to it in …

Berserk Is The Greatest Manga of All Time: Chapter 1

I love the Berserk manga a lot and I thought it would be really interesting to dissect everything in the chapter. In the past I did a thing like this for chapter 1 and 2 but would like to continue it for the chapters leading up to the flashback. I just think that there is …

Doreiku ep 3 – Super Smash Bros for Slavery

I'm getting a lot of smash vibes from this show even though this show is nothing like a fighting game. But it's because of the story of the subspace emissary. The subspace emissary was a story mode of smash brothers where all the characters would start in their own individual area, and then slowly meet …
