A Review and Musings on The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Vol. 1

Yen Press provided a review copy of one of their newest light novels, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Vol. 1. and so, for all intents and purposes, this is a review of that light novel. That said, my thoughts on this light novel are more personal and somewhat less review-like. ~ stardf29 Amane… Read More A Review and Musings on The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Vol. 1

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

Throwback Thursday: Valentines Past

Throughout 2020 we’ll be looking back at blog posts from the past we celebrate our 10th year. Ten years…that means ten Christmases, ten Pocky Days, ten birthdays for me (yikes), and 10 Valentine’s Days. That’s not a happy thing for some people (sorry). For others, it can a unique way to look back at our… Read More Throwback Thursday: Valentines Past

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

On Harem Romances

Harem romances are fairly common in anime and light novels. That is, many of these stories feature a male protagonist with several female love interests (only two love interests is merely a love triangle, not a harem). A harem story may or may not involve the guy marrying all the girls. I’m not a huge… Read More On Harem Romances

Domestic Girlfriend and the Idol of Romantic Love

Domestic Girlfriend is a hard show to recommend seriously. The very premise reads like the trashiest of soap operas: a high school boy, depressed that the teacher with whom he is in love has a boyfriend, has a one night stand with a random girl at a mixer, only to find out that his father… Read More Domestic Girlfriend and the Idol of Romantic Love

Five Anime Couples to Warm Your Heart on Valentine’s Day

anime girl valentine chocolate

Valentine’s Day isn’t a happy holiday for everyone. In fact, it can be downright depressing. To avoid the misery, some run away from the love stuff on February 14th (out of sight, out of mind), but for me, even when I was a lonely single, I still always embraced the day as I drowned in… Read More Five Anime Couples to Warm Your Heart on Valentine’s Day

WorldEnd: How Reincarnation Ruins Romance

I just finished watching WorldEnd: Etc.  (Who would ever scribble out the entire title?)  This stood as my favorite anime of the last season.  (Though, my selection of anime series from the last season was quite small.)  The author of this series did a wonderful job of world-building.  Digressions on the world’s past did much… Read More WorldEnd: How Reincarnation Ruins Romance
