I am a consumer of anime, animation, manga, words, worlds, and realms (gimme fantasy).
I write too 🖊💻
Both for work and for fun.
😩 How it feels working the Friday after a Thursday public holiday...
That awkward mix of "I'm here" and "why am I here?" energy.
Anyone else running on coffee and pure willpower today?

Anime is storytelling, art, and emotion.
I’ve developed a dual-scale rating system, 5-star for episodes, 10-point for series, to reflect both immediate impact and long-term payoff.
Here’s how and why it works.
🧬 The Shiunji Family Children
Arata is holding this whole thing together. He’s such a refreshingly grounded romcom lead. Episode 2 really elevated the dynamic, especially with the Minami and Ouka side-stories weaving into continuity. And then Episode 3 goes full amusement park emotional chaos with Banri just eating up screen time like a drama queen.
It’s totally messy. But it knows it’s messy. And that makes it kinda fun to watch with popcorn.
🔮 Once Upon a Witch’s Death
This show had a rough start. The emotional beats in the first two episodes didn’t land as they should’ve. It was all so visually promising, but the emotional stakes were flat. Thankfully, Episode 3 turned things around! Inori is such a captivating character, and Meg finally started to feel real. The stinky-feet joke absolutely broke me, it was so dumb but so perfect. Episode 4 continued that growth too.
Also, Carbuncle and the owl... 10/10 would adopt immediately.
⚾ Catch Me at the Ballpark
This is my new “cup of hot chocolate” anime. It’s low-stakes but full of life and detail. The idea of focusing on support staff in a baseball setting is so fresh. Ruriko’s awkward sincerity is so endearing, I just want to cheer for her at every turn! The rotating character spotlights keep things from feeling stale, and the mascot MVP might be one of the season’s funniest yet oddly profound characters.
Also, those segment titles are amazing.
🌊 Apocalypse Hotel🤖
This one has completely crept up on me as one of the hidden gems of the season. That hotel advertisement-to-plague sequence flip in Episode 1 was just so haunting and clever. The tonal contrast between robot optimism and the decaying, abandoned world is peak existential sci-fi.
Yachiyo is becoming such a tragic yet lovable character. This show has soul, even if it’s wrapped in post-apocalyptic gloom.
This Tuesday’s anime lineup brought smiles, sparkles, and a few surprise punches!
Here’s my weekly roundup of Apocalypse Hotel, Catch Me at the Ballpark!, and more Spring 2025 seasonal standouts.

@scribbbleanime I wonder if Himari will manage to break the childhood friend curse and the short and blue-haired curses, too 🤔
One of the first times I truly saw #Goku
Not just as the cheeky, wild child with a monkey tail but as someone destined to become the Goku we all know.
This scene made me pause.
His expression is fierce, not playful.
His stance? Steady. Strong. Determined.
There's a weight to him here, something beyond his years.
A weight he didn't have before.
At this moment, I wasn’t just looking at young Goku.
I was looking at the future Goku.
