Jeff Lawson wrote a wonderful post with regard to the state of the anime industry. He states pertinent points; in fact, he even linked to relevant material. He does not offer answers: in a post-modern way, he organizes and asks the relevant questions. I do not know much about the industry, and I also cannot […]

I started watching anime when I was still a child. However, it was only seven years ago when I truly became addicted to anime, and despite that addiction thinning time and time again, my love and appreciation towards it remain the same. Still the fact remains that in 1998 I was not yet enough of […]

I finally finished The Interpreters, a novel written by Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986. Although his plays were primarily the reason why he won the Nobel Prize, this novel still offers some insight to his genius.

School has started and it is among the reasons why I have not written a post for the past few days, but the real reason as to why I have not yet written anything is because I am still in the middle of reading Wole Soyinka’s The Interpreters. I have a lot of things to […]

Because I do not want to be a pessimist, I will simply say that class started off a bit challenging. With that said, it is to be expected that the posts I will have written will be a lot slower than my output these past few weeks. Still, because I have a desire not to […]

I would have to say that this post will be my coup de grace to my consistent blogging, because class (sadly) starts tomorrow for me. This post may be longer than the 800 words I have hovered around with these past posts - kindly allow me this deviance.

I was actually searching for Neliel pictures but […]

A wise man said that some books are need to be read in entirety; some need to be read in parts and portions, and some need not be read at all. I have been able to write quite a number of posts because I am not burdened with schoolwork; consequently, that has made my mind […]

I have been reading only a few blogs about anime this past half year. That amounts to quite some time, but then again, I have had to experience a terrible first semester which left me no time for exploration. Indeed, the experience of a bad semester left me little room for expansion of my perceptions […]

A curmudgeon told me some days ago that, if I remember correctly, my blog was idiotic (I wonder if that was the right term, but I am pretty sure the word had vitriol in its veins) because I often involved and alluded to literature. Personally, I do not think my posts are idiotic even if […]

I have not seen many series this year. I guess the reason is primarily because of my studies, which have plagued me all throughout the year. Since I have not viewed anime as much as my blogging peers have, I decided to dawdle in #animeblogger for a while, asking them what series they would recommend […]
