Day Zero Can’t Sleep
I can’t usually sleep the night before a trip. My sister and I usually go to Otakon on Friday. The plan is for me to get to her place by 7:30AM so we can get to Baltimore by 10AM, spend a couple hours in line, buy a hot dog from a cranky vendor, and be [...]

Kuniko Isn’t Funny

Anime directors love sudden inserts of humor in dramatic scenes and I’m usually down with it, I mean these shows are supposed to be amusing, but the humor [...]
Battle Athletes Victory Revisited
Whenever I start feeling a little blah towards anime, I rewatch a favorite from years past instead of trying to find something new. Being in the mood for something fluffy and ridiculous, it felt like a good time to revisit Battle Athletes Victory. It probably would sit next to all of the shows from over [...]
