30 Out-of-Context Screencaps from Spring 2023 Anime

One of the ways our staff keeps itself entertained is by capturing funny or unusual frames from the anime we’re watching and posting them on our team Discord server. Our Twitter and Mastadon manager, MDRMN, then flips many of those screencaps to social media to share with you as well. But in case you’ve missed… Read More 30 Out-of-Context Screencaps from Spring 2023 Anime

First Impression: Otaku Elf

Koito is a miko at a traditional Shinto shrine…inhabited by an actual, genuine elf! Her name’s Elda, and she’s a shut-in otaku. Then a surprisingly catchy OP plays. Afterward, Koito struggles to get through a ritual prayer with the ridiculous “goddess.” Later, at school, a worn-out Koito talks to her friend Koma. For all Koito’s… Read More First Impression: Otaku Elf

QOTD: What's an anime, manga, figure or other fand QOTD: What's an anime, manga, figure or other fandom treasure you found at a great price, whether that means it was an incredible deal or just an great deal to you?

Just a quick history lesson on Kanon. The VN for this series, which is what Konoha is holding in these caps, was the first one released by Key. You know Key—their VNs and anime include Clannad, Little Busters, and Rewrite. The company would become so popular that it impacted the entire direction of VNs and anime. In the 2000s and into the early '10s, so much of what we consumed was flavored by the moe art in these products.

I've never played Kanon (it's an adult VN), but I have watched the series. It's among my very very favorite anime, and while it isn't as deep, involving, or emotional as some of their other series, it has a warmth to it that's pretty unmatched and was just so perfectly 2006. The dub and sub are both incredible. And Ayu...well, she's a top-five favorite character of all time for me. 

Uguu!

[twwk] Introducing Stark! Ahhh...even a transitional, fairly unremarkable episode of Frieren, like this one, brings me to the edge of tears. I'm so glad this adaptation is capturing the feelings of the manga so well!
