Watamote: How to make a loser protagonist feel like an ACTUAL loser.

[Repost, because this dumb hiatus is taking longer than expected. Also, for a short update on my life rn, it’s pretty busy. Birthdays, work and other stuff has been happening, but rest assured, I am still writing!] I finished Watamote a LONG time ago, and first things first, this is what struck me: Tomoko is a pathetic loner. Not a quirky loner in most other … Continue reading Watamote: How to make a loser protagonist feel like an ACTUAL loser.

The Significance of Holding Hands

[Repost of one of my favorite posts I’ve ever written. Excited to be back,but I need some time to adjust, so here’s for the new readers!] The very act of holding hands has been ingrained into us since we were infants. We first held our own parents’ fingers with the palms of our tiny hands as a way of finding comfort in a strange new … Continue reading The Significance of Holding Hands

Do Characters Really Need “Growth” To Be Good Characters?

Last year, as I was looking at the criticisms thrown at the anime adaptation of Watamote by its critics, I noticed that a common one was that Tomoko, our main character, never grows as a person or changes by the end of the story, and therefore, she’s a bad character. Unbiased I say to you, and not just because I have a writeup detailing exactly … Continue reading Do Characters Really Need “Growth” To Be Good Characters?

Halloween (2018) Movie Review – Just Call It Halloween II, Damn It

For October 31, I celebrated by going to the theaters to watch some movies, and the most thematically appropriate movie I watched that day was Halloween (2018). How does it hold up to the original 1978 classic? Why didn’t they just call it Halloween II? That’s what we’ll be talking about in this review. There will be minor spoilers.

Gatekeeping in Anime

[Repost, mainly because I’ve wanted to bring attention to my older posts from when I had fewer followers.] I am not one of those people who believe the anime industry is dying.

However, we aren’t growing as … Continue reading Gatekeeping in Anime

A Companion Piece To My Holding Hands Article

I shared my post about The Significance of Holding Hands on reddit yesterday, and it was mildly successful! Well, sorta. My biggest peeve was that most of the comments were the same tired jokes about hand holding being lewd. Hell, the top comment was a guy saying they didn’t even read my thing and just said holding hands makes babies. Fortunately, a fair few people … Continue reading A Companion Piece To My Holding Hands Article
