Umm…Recently, I’ve become engrossed in an interesting visual novel by the name of Katawa Shoujo. (Also known as Disability Girls.) Unlike other visual novels, this one features girls who are all disabled in some way. ranging from somewhat common conditions, such as deafness or blindness; to other physical disabilities like lack of arms and legs, or skin disfigurations.Coming from my background, I’ve never really had much experience with visual novels; only delving in simple ones such as Phantom Seeds. However, I decided to pick this one up as …

Favorite Anime of 2013
Yamada’s being….a little silly at the moment.I got the idea from some other bloggers, and decided to make my own list. I’d like to say that I really enjoyed the 2013 anime year. I usually don’t keep up with the newest anime, and most of the ones I know are older and long gone.Just a quick warning, these are based on my own opinion and tastes. You may disagree with me, or you may not. I don’t rate series on the quality of the artwork, story, or such. I judge them based on whether I …

Breaking the Stereotype
Throughout my years I’ve seen many people question the definition of otaku. “Am I an otaku because I watch anime? Is being an otaku a bad thing? What if people don’t like me?” These are all excellent questions, and with something that is not common knowledge it’s normal to feel confused.The truth is, many of us consider ourselves otaku, yet the meaning differs from person to person. If you want a literal textbook definition of an otaku, one…

Find Your Flaws Using Anime
What good is a perfect character anyways?Throughout my days of watching anime and being an otaku, I’ve seen that being perfect in a way, is flawed. Few people would be interested in watching a character who goes through life without any form of struggle or trouble. We love characters who are flawed because we can relate ourselves to them.The one word you hear mostly when it comes to fictional characters is development. That flawed character of ours has to progress…

Monogatari: One More Chance
If you’re a new reader or if you haven’t taken a look at my older post you might want to do so now. You can find it here. For a short summary, the post was about my experience with Bakemonogatari. My time watching was somewhat bitter, and I could not get myself to like the anime no matter how hard I tried. Of course I felt bad, as a close friend of mine greatly enjoyed and recommended the series. At one point I could say that I absolutely hated the…

A Few Recent Blog Tweaks
Hey everyone! I’ve decided to fix up (and hopefully improve) my blog. I’m just going to take the time to explain a few changes I’ve made.First up, I added dividers between my header links. Hopefully that makes them easier to read as the words tended to run together. I’ve been considering adjusting my blog to make use of my Facebook Header…though I’m not sure if it will look well.I adjusted the post background so transparency isn’t a problem. I received a few complains about my posts being hard to read due to the transparency. I …
