First Impression: Kaya-chan isn’t Scary

Five children have been injured on the swings at Hanamugi Kindergarten this past week alone, some of them complaining about being pushed. And Kaya-chan always seems to be nearby…When it happens again, Kaya-chan shows her cards and stands guard in front of the swing, forbidding anyone else to have a turn. This is not the… Read More First Impression: Kaya-chan isn’t Scary

First Impression: Dead Account

The narrator may have a cutesy voice, but the message is sinister: “Hey you there! Are you on social media? I bet you are. Now, picture this…What is going to happen to your account when you die?” For his part, Soji Enishiro has probably never given such techno-philosophical questions any consideration; he’s too busy jumping… Read More First Impression: Dead Account

First Impression: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3

First Impression: The Case Book of Arne

According to our narrator, in this world (a steampunk-flavored one), there are two kinds of people: Those who read comic books and perhaps even believe in nonhuman monsters, and those who do not. Enter young Louis Hartmann, who runs upstairs with this week’s installment of Wolf-Man Comics. A series of photographs tells us a story… Read More First Impression: The Case Book of Arne

First Impression: MAYONAKA PUNCH

Masaki is a former member of a popular Newtuber trio (Newtube is Mayonaka Punch’s YouTube) and has always been passionate about creating viral content there. But her recent violent outburst against her group members during a stream was the last straw, after which she was fired. Now all alone, Masaki’s not sure about what to… Read More First Impression: MAYONAKA PUNCH

Review & Rambling: Unnamed Memory Vol. 2

I liked Vol. 2 of Unnamed Memory. There’s tragedy, mystery, history. “Oh, sorry. I guess it really is a kraken after all.” War, the emptiness of revenge, vacation. Time travel (maybe). “Why did you end up killing another country’s god when you just went out on a short observation mission?!” And entertaining banter between the… Read More Review & Rambling: Unnamed Memory Vol. 2

TBT Readers Choice Winner: Natsume Yuujin-Cho

A month ago, TWWK offered all of the readers on this blog the opportunity to decide what anime you wanted me to review. I am stunned at the result. I never imagined that Natsume Yuujin-Cho would win, especially against Sword Art Online. Well anyway, prepare yourselves as I am about to begin. Natsume Yuujin-Cho (aka… Read More TBT Readers Choice Winner: Natsume Yuujin-Cho
