Earlier today RoosterTeeth announced that that Monty Oum, creator behind RWBY has passed away. The website had some kind words to share about Monty: “Our friend, inspiration and co-worker Monty Oum passed away yesterday afternoon at 4:34 PM surrounded by people who loved him very much. Ten days ago Monty suffered a severe allergic reaction […]

The 2014 fall season just wrapped up and I’m super excited to get the chance to write about it. Well, maybe not just ended, I admit to having fallen behind as I was trying to finish watching everything for the end of year overview. Because of that, I’ve also included my first impressions of the […]

So with 2014 at last at an end, it’s time to look back at all the great and not so great anime of the year. 2014 felt strangely like the end of an era. The Naruto manga came to a close, and for many of us, the big three, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, were […]

With episode two, The Curtain Goes Up, comprising of mainly two conversations, rich in backstory and explanations, I was looking forward to episode three, The First Battle, to really start the Holy Grail War proper, and that it did. Last episode ended with Shiro accepting his place as a master in the war while finding his […]

Well, I should admit right from the start, I goofed. In my attempt to avoid any and all spoilers for the upcoming season of Fate/Stay Night, I missed episode zero, titled Prologue. I use Crunchyroll, and had assumed it was just another preview since I’m unused to seeing shows use zero as their starting points, […]

We’ve seen the end of summer, and with it, many shows completed, there’s only one show still airing through fall and I will continue to follow it. But for the shows that are finished, let me wrap up my thoughts on the end of the summer season before I plunge into the newly airing fall […]

I have to start off with admitting that Fate/Stay Night has been my most anticipated show for over a year now. I say that not being overly familiar with Type-Moon or the Fate universe, Type-Moon created. Fate/Zero, it’s prequel, I have seen and regard as an anime masterpiece, so I’m largely basing my anticipation for […]

The first half of Painting the Town… moves quickly, cutting between each of the girls and their respective tasks. No time is wasted, and for a show that’s only around fifteen minutes long per episode, I’m glad they don’t. This week’s episode of RWBY started exactly where last week’s left off, with Penny explaining that she’s […]

For each new anime season, I do try to make a point to check out what’s gaining buzz in the community. Sometimes I’m a little late to the party, and sometimes it isn’t until the next season has started that I even get time to really invest in finding the gems. Usually I’ll discover one, […]

A Minor Hiccup starts with something we’ve all been looking forward to, new character outfits! Okay, maybe it’s just me and my fellow cosplayers going all sparkly eyed at finally seeing our girls in civvies, but the new outfits are predictably wonderful, keeping with the girls colour coding and personalities perfectly. The girls make plans to […]
