    Review: Ghost Stories (2000)

    November 19, 2017
    by Luc de Vries, Reviews, tv series, Writing

      Look, I wasn’t planning on doing monthly anime reviews. Truth be told, I kind of hate anime overall. Whether it be shōnen, shōjo, or whatever—I will never be able to get over the standard tropes like “magical girl” transformation sequences, “harems”, or the closely related (not to mention, hypersexualized) fanservice that gushes from every…

    Listen Up! – Top 5 Favorite Podcasts

    November 15, 2017
    by Paulina van Bergem, Podcasts

Not to…

    By Unpopular Demand: a Review of Alfred Jodocus Kwak (1989)

    October 31, 2017
    by Art, Behind the Classic, Luc de Vries, Reviews

    Here it is: your hip, new, anime review. And yes, while Alfred Jodocus Kwak isn’t all that hip or new, it does technically qualify as an anime. There’s your little tidbit for the day. This, among other facts, is part of the interesting history behind this show (which I will abbreviate to AJK for convenience’s…

    On the best souvenir you can give your friends

    October 27, 2017
    by Sona Simonian

      It was shortly after one of my best friends had left for America when I realized that collecting souvenirs for all my friends was going to get slightly more complicated than it used to be, because shipping to and from America is quite expensive. She went to New York at the end of May…
