You couldn't live with the current season of anime. Where did that bring you -- back to me.Sup, it's ya boy, again. You know back when the anime ended a year ago, I promised myself that I would wait for a second season before I start the novels. I just had to wait, ya know. After all, that's just...

Why does Odd Taxi's dialogue sound "natural"? This question seemed dubiously simple to me when I first considered it.

It goes without showing that what characterizes Jordan Peele's horror, is in its poignant themes of racism and inequality.

This anime is a gift that keeps on giving, huh? Two episode in and we are already balls deep into the meat of it; We have not only gotten a continuation of the 'Sandbox' idea I coined last essay, but it has even been integrated into our character arc this episode. As someone who loves story...

Yo, summer season why you gotta do me like that? I'm already following like 7 different shows dude. You've forced me to write three different essays in like a span of a week. That's like, two more than what should be my usual quota. And here I thought I was gonna be chilling till 86 comes back in...
