A Dash of Black Girl Magic in Every Review
We all have them, that one character that we just can’t stand! The character that pisses you off ever single time they show up on screen. Maybe they are the antagonist that always seems to get in the way of the hero, maybe they’re one the protagonist’s allies, or maybe…
Okay, Day 19 of the 30 Day Anime Challenge and at first I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to answer this question. I actually had to think back through all of the anime series that I’d watched over the years for the perfect scene. After a few days…
So today I’m talking about my favorite supporting female anime character… I dunno what it is, but it is harder for me to choose my favorite female characters. You’d think that being a woman would make choosing a favorite female character easy but I don’t really rate female characters, so…
It’s Day 17 and I’m supposed to talk about my favorite supporting male character… Well, I have quite a few favorite supporting characters, so this choice was much more difficult than I thought it would be… Sometimes the supporting characters are better than the actual protagonist. I dunno, there is just something unique…
It’s day 16 of the challenge and this time I had to choose the anime with the best animation. I’m not going to lie this was a tough one for me because I don’t really pay much attention to the animation. At least not enough to discern bad animation from good…
Woohoo, this is the halfway mark!! When I first saw this prompt the first thing I thought was, Oh crap, welp that was quick! I thought I’d blown the whole challenge, I had no idea what the heck I was going to write about. Usually when I watch anime I watch…
Sometimes you come across an anime that no matter how many times you watch it just never gets old. You know, a show that you can watch five or more times and still find the characters and their stories fresh and exciting. I love this series, no matter how many times…
Okay so when I saw this prompt I immediately Googled one of those awesome anime quizzes… and I don’t know whether I should be extremely proud of the results or laugh at how ridiculous the whole thing was. Well the quiz said that my anime twin was Vegeta from Dragonball Z… yeah……
Anime has been known to connect with its viewers in a way that other forms of media don’t always match. I myself have experienced the full gambit of emotions while watching anime, ranging from joy to anger to even a bit of sadness… So when I saw that I had to…
Okay, so I have a confession to make… I am not a fan of mecha anime! In fact I can count the number of mecha anime series I’ve seen on one hand and I don’t even need all five fingers either. So, there weren’t very many choices to choose from…
No matter how many years pass and no matter what the current anime trends are, fighter anime always manage to stay relevant! I will admit that I am not a huge fan of fighter anime series, I usually find their repetitive nature boring. But when done right… magic happens! This…
So, I had a really hard time coming up with an answer to today’s prompt… In fact, I almost decided to skip it altogether, but then a light bulb went off in my head and I knew just which villain I was going to write about! I’m the type that…
It’s day eight and love is in the air, this time I had to choose my favorite anime couple. Think shy blushes and sweet words… and maybe even a kiss or two! From first loves to old flames, I have seen them all, especially since I’m a lover of all…
Asking anime fan to choose just one anime crush is like asking someone to pick a needle in a haystack. Asking an anime fan to choose just one anime crush is like asking a person to choose just one fandom on Tumblr…. I could go on, but the point is…
I am terrible at keeping up with anime series, so my watch list is almost as long as my gaming backlog. I usually go long stretches of time without watching anything and then suddenly I get the urge to watch one or two series in a single sitting. After which…
Have you ever seen an anime that was so bad that it was good? Those bottom of the barrel anime series that no matter how cliched or how stupid, you just can’t stop watching. The kind of anime you watch alone in the dark with the shutters drawn shut… Over…
First, Happy 4th of July!! Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get on with the rest of the challenge… Somehow I feel like Day 3 and 4 should be combined… especially since I have a hard time writing at length on prompts like this. But, what are you…
Okay so it’s only Day 2 and I’m already hitting a rough patch! *gasp* What does that say about the rest of the challenge?! I had a really hard time picking an anime for this prompt. Every time I would settle on one anime series a completely different one would…
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound? Think about that for a minute, I’ll wait…got your answer? Okay good! Well let’s take this same scenario and apply it to anime. If a child watches an anime but…
So the other day while going through my favorite Youtube videos, I stumbled upon a few old AMVs and before I knew it I’d lost five hours of my life. I literally spent five hours watching AMVs, so I decided that you guys needed to suffer with me, so I…

Let me first say that I absolutely love the film and the book, but if I had to choose I loved the book more. I will admit that I saw the movie first and while I’m confessing sins I saw it dubbed, so I’m more accustomed to Christian Bale, than I am…
Before I start singing the praises of the genre here is a brief overview of some BL/Yaoi basics….
