manga

While Fist of the North Star started with Volume 1, it's here where its legacy truly begins. ― Here is where things start to get interesting. While the first volume of Fist of the North Star is a terrific read and involves some of the most important events and villains of the series, there is no denying that it is the earlier part of the work and it shows. From the art to the structure to the focus, ...

From Saint Seiya to CCXP: the Past and Present of Anime Fandom in Brazil

anime

Part of the reason anime became a cultural sensation in such a short span of time is because the ground had already been prepared by nearly a century of soft power. Brazil, after all, has the largest Japanese diaspora in the world. ― “Do you remember Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco?” Ask this question to anyone in the streets of São Paulo, or any major Brazilian city, and I can guarantee it will elicit a gl...

novels

For those of you on the fence, there are two things in particular I want to highlight in this review: Bryce Papenbrook's performance and whether the story of SAO's first volume still holds up today. ― It's really cool to see a light novel audiobook read by the protagonist's English dub actor. Light novel audiobooks are rare to begin with, but there's an even greater feeling of immersion than usual wh...

anime

Although it would be too much to declare the film a "disappointment," it does feel as if this story would have been better suited as a television series ― The House of the Lost on the Cape (or Misaki no Mayoiga in Japanese) shares a similarity in title to The Lost Village (Mayoiga), a somewhat infamous TV anime from 2016 that was distinctive for its hokey portrayal of psychological horror. The House ...

It was announced on creator Toby Fox's Undertale 6th anniversary stream that the game will be dropping at 8 PM EST today, so if you don't want spoilers, you should probably kno...

While this is a positive from the point of view of representation, it also raises a different question: is there a conflation of homosexuality and asexuality in manga about queer characters? If so, it's not terribly helpful. ― It is interesting, to me anyway, to note that I have now encountered three separate yuri titles where one or both of the protagonists exhibit signs of being on the asexual/demi...
