Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Anime Series Review

Apr 6, 17:00

anime

The villainess leanings of the anime’s story make for a charming watch, imperfect as it all is. ― A lot of fantasies and fairy tales treat their villains more as obstacles than real characters. They're generally vile beings whose sole purpose is to cast curses, poison apples, and eventually get thwacked by the good guys. The reverse, I think, is part of the appeal of villainess isekai. We want to see...

Journal with Witch touched a lot of viewers and offered a relateable character in Makio. But are we just projecting Western views on a Japanese creation? Jerome gets into it. ― A Reader asks: Dear Answerman, I'm obsessed with Journal with Witch this season.

culture

The world of rakugo is waiting for you, with fart jokes and ghosts galore; all you have to do is sit down and listen. ― There's a widely held view that humans are, in terms of communication, storytellers. We enjoy spinning yarns, gossiping about others, relaying mundane tasks as heroic quests, and investing in our future by passing on the tales of those who came before. There are numerous storytelli...

Devil's in the Lunch Deals Manga Review

Apr 5, 17:00 manga

This tale of an outcast goddess of death who makes delicious food and tries to do good deeds as penance for being, you know, a goddess of death, is prickly and weird, and I think I love it. ― Fairytales play a significant role in human society. They stand in as simplistic moral education, tales of punishment and reward. They are also expressions of psychological and philosophical experimentation. Fai...
