My announcement: I’m going on another journey.
Hello, everyone. I said that I would be making a big announcement on twitter a while ago. I was planning on posting, but because of needed preparations that needed to be taken care of, paperwork, and other things, I kind of pushed back the date for the blog post. Anyway, here’s the deal: I’m going to South Korea for six months to work in an elementary …
Teaching in Korea 1: Starting out
Hello, everyone. So I travelled to South Korea not too long ago. I managed to settle in without any jet lag, so I’d like to give you a bit of an update so that you all know what’s going on. Honestly, I thought I took more photos, but it ended up not being a whole lot, somehow. Hm… So I flew Korean Air, and it was probably one of the best experiences I had flying. It was 11 hours, but I’m an indoor hobbies person anyway…

Anime Review: Infinite Stratos II (S2)
Good day readers, And with the restarting of WWHCurrent, I’d like to bring your attention to an anime which ended a season back, Infinite Stratos II! To be honest I almost couldn’t believe it when they announced that they were coming up with a new season. After seeing the first one, which was packed with… ECCHI, ECCHI and more ECCHI. So to those who aren’t aware of the setting. It’s about this guy called Orimura Ichika, your standard teenager, who has a very talented gift. That of being …

Why I Don’t Follow Anime Archetypes
Hello everyone! As a follow up to the last post on the many different types of deres, I’d like to express why I have somewhat of a dislike for labeling characters based on their archetypes. I’d like to agree that some categorization may sometimes be a necessity, because it might be hard to explain the numerous traits of characters in such fine detail, when slapping a label on one…
Always Remember How to Dream!
Gemini remembers how to dream, you should too!Hello again! I feel like this post is something I should have addressed a long time ago, especially with regards to the name of this blog. I would just like to tell anyone who is reading this, that they have the power to accomplish their dreams, but what good is this advice when you’re already given up on believing? If you’ve given up on your dreams due to some silly notion that you’ll never be able to achieve them, please keep reading. Before I created this …
Witch Craft Works 09 – Evil Plans moving!
And I thought this was the USUAL FANSERVICE BEACH EPISODE…It is not, damn! Well, it was training day for Takamiya kun. It was really exciting for him, especially when Ayaka´s body was closer. Takamikya kun managed to call his familiar. A huge version of Kagari in Nurse dress. WTF!? Hmm, probably it is something hidden within him…Pervert! Meanwhile, the five clowns known as Medusa underlings shows some of their idiocy…
Witch Craft Works 10 – Set in Motion!
Chairman was captured, barrier was lost, City was destroy but no casualties (Unbelievable but true. Some sort of pact was signed for this to happen. Luckily, Ayaka explained to Takamiya and us the situation.) and Witches are injured or lost. What a grim and confusing scenario. This the first part of the next arc and as I said before, Takamiya holds the key. There were some really neat fights between Kagari and the enemy…
