Who are you, Alice? – Kamisama no Memochou anime review

I thought Kamisama no Memochou was about NEET detectives. But it was actually about gangster drama. Oh wait, it was, in fact, about Narumi…who constantly got himself into troubles.

A world without crime, stress, freewill or dream: discussion and review of Psycho-Pass

Psycho-Pass was such a fascinating show. It was dark, complex, emotional and, most importantly, thought-provoking. Here, I will give my thoughts and criticism towards this anime.

Canne’s favorite live-action movies of 2012 – an anime fan’s choice

This post has been sitting around my desktop for months. I intended to post this after I had seen the last batch of movies from 2012. I strongly expected that the movies released around the end of 2012 would make me add several more titles into my rather short list of favorite live-action movies. But alas, none actually made the cut, even those award-winning ones. So my list of favorite live-action movies remained as short as it had been 4 months ago.

Why do I watch anime? And how to avoid giving boring answers!

I am late to Kai’s party, like I usually do. But her project is interesting and I believe that timing is not a factor in this case. Discussion about why we watch anime may sound obsolete but it is always strangely relevant. I have read several opinions on this matter over the years. There are many reasons we watch anime. Some reasons are so generic that they can be applied to any form of media and thus, these reasons carry little weight. So you see, ‘Why do we watch anime?’ is never an easy question to answer. Still, I am going to try. (Warning: heavy sarcasms ahead!)

Thoughts from the Book of Friends: concerning ghosts and monsters!

Watching Natsume Yuujinchou was a pleasant experience. We all know that for a fact. But here I will talk to you about the lessons and thoughts I have picked up from my journey through several seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou. This post is only the first of the planned ‘thoughts from the Book of Friends’ post series.
