Take a Chance on The Wandering Son

To clear it out of the way, if you are a anime viewer, then The Wandering Son anime is on Crunchy Roll. But if you happen to have the opportunity to read the manga prior, then I really would recommend it. The manga brings a richer background than the snippet of the anime, but as [...]

Inu x Boku SS, an unlikely choice of viewing

In the midst of this current spring season, I am still on this sampling mood, with some more anime to try and catch up. I already know I dropped Papakiki as far as I can drop it. I may have a couple of more titles to watch, but I can’t help but write a bit [...]

One is a Japanese drama, another a Japanese anime. In some ways Gakeppuchi no Eri can be called the prequel to Mainichi Kaasan… but [...]
