Newman’s Nook: Bakuman and Women

For 2022, I decided to tackle a number of manga that I had not yet read. Some I owned digitally via older Humble Bundles. Others were planned based on recommendations from friends.

Newman’s Nook: Pirate Family

One Piece is a long-running story about pirates. It is one of the biggest franchises in the world. A huge reason for that, in my opinion, is how the characters relate to each other. These pirates are a real family. Let’s give a few examples. Nico Robin When we are first introduced to Nico Robin… Read More Newman’s Nook: Pirate Family

Newman’s Nook: What’s in a Name?

I first watched Neon Genesis Evangelion as an 18 year old, new to the anime medium. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I was just enthralled by all the large-scale combat between the angels and the Eva units. With the series dropping on Netflix, I decided to re-watch the series in 2020. Let me tell you, now as… Read More Newman’s Nook: What’s in a Name?

A few weeks back, I was looking through my Twitter analytics and something hit me: I realized that I’d been losing followers pretty much all year. It was to be expected—I had a modestly-sized Twitter account that had grown initially based on my political tweets (my politics have since changed) and from parenting tweets.

QOTD: Have you ever competed in team sports? Which one? Was it an emotional experience?
The summer 2022 anime season begins tomorrow! What new and returning series are you most looking forward to?
[twwk] Definitely getting a Royai feel here. I haven't watched the original classic, so I wonder if it was the same there. Anybody? If so, this would have preceded Roy x Riza by a couple decades.
[twwk] Shikimori…Saber…Utena…can you think of any other strong, protective women in anime?
