Todoroki and Breaking Through Ice and Fire

To say that the Todoroki family in My Hero Academia is broken is an understatement. The father, Enji (know to the public as Endeavor, the number one hero), was abusive to both his children and wife. He’s trying to mend his ways, but the damage he left is much more akin to that of a… Read More Todoroki and Breaking Through Ice and Fire

Review: Happy-Go-Lucky Days

What do you do, and how do you move forward, after you’ve experienced a bittersweet, youthful love? Happy-Go-Lucky Days, currently streaming at the Asian Pop-up Cinema Festival, examines these questions through three stories, each particular in a variety of ways, but all connected by same threads of sadness, joy, and maturation. Those who have read… Read More Review: Happy-Go-Lucky Days

The Code of Kushieda

Just in time for St. Valentine this year, I’ve been rewatching Toradora with my teen siblings and have found that my appreciation of it has only grown. I like its summer night skies and its dark winter, its bittersweet songs, the red or golden evenings at the school or near the river. The brilliant, casual… Read More The Code of Kushieda

Snow White with the Red Hair: An Appealing Image of Respect and Honor

Snow White with the Red Hair 1

Our guest post today comes from author Audie Thacker, whom you can also find writing about anime and other topics at Speculative Faith. I almost didn’t start watching this series. When I first saw some notices about it, I had either finished or was close to finishing Yona of the Dawn. Seeing how much the… Read More Snow White with the Red Hair: An Appealing Image of Respect and Honor

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 11

As I mentioned last week, one can view Serial Experiments Lain as the story of a machine learning to become human, though unlike most series, Lain puts the audience in a position where we don’t know that the “machine” isn’t a human at first. Episode 11 goes a step further as Eiri explains to Lain… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 11

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 06

From the very beginning, Serial Experiments Lain is unusual, abstract, hard to grasp. Just when you think the show couldn’t get any stranger, it does, with episode six taking us deeper into the strangeness and also pulling us out. While the mysteries of the Wired, the Knights, and Lain herself deepen (with the most remarkable… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 06

Taiga x Ryuuji and Messy Relationships

Taiga and Ryuuji kiss

A few weeks ago, I cuddled up to my husband—whom I married the end of last August (2017)—and flicked on Toradora, a favorite of mine. With Adam being fairly new to anime, I’m trying to stick to ones I know well and feel he’ll enjoy so we can discuss and enjoy them together. Had you… Read More Taiga x Ryuuji and Messy Relationships

Season one of Rent-a-Girlfriend was a trainwreck, which is exactly what made it so much fun. It was bonkers in its audacity to make someone like Kazuya the protagonist, and unrepentant in how messed up he is while still giving him a harem.
