Project Raildex – Worth a Watch for Modern Fans?

Mostly, I Just Wanted to Watch it

When it comes to what I choose to cover here on this website it’s easy to see that there are a few patterns for what I’m partial for. Among these are big retrospective pieces on large franchises, making today’s topic of conversation in the Index, Railgun and Accelerator series long overdue. In fact, I’ve wanted to cover this franchise for several years but always found excuses in watching other programs. Since my Funimation subscription was about to end, this made for an ideal last hurrah for that platform as Crunchyroll didn’t have the full series dubbed (for some reason). With this all out of the way, let’s get on with the main event:  is this franchise worth watching?

91 Days – Gangsters & Revenge

Sounds Good to Me

When 91 Days first aired in 2016, I was fairly confident that I would enjoy it. From the trailer it looked to be a serious drama set in prohibition era America. Seeing how I loved Baccano! I  was excited at the prospect of another great series utilizing this more unique setting. Additionally, this was an opportunity for Funimation to deliver a great dub as was done for Baccano! when that received one. Was this anime one that capitalized on all of its uniqueness or did it burry itself six feet under with a bog standard revenge story? Let’s find out!

The 30 Day Anime Challenge Day 17 – My Favorite Male Supporting Character

Ah, a Man of Justice!

That is the most inside joke but I am using it anyway! Let’s take a quick look at the schedule before I get into today’s topic. This has been a pretty fun series so far and I hope you have all been enjoying it! I spent a lot of time scrolling through all the anime I’ve completed to arrive at who my favorite male supporting character would be and I think I finally figured it out!

The 30 Day Anime Challenge Day 8 – My Favorite Anime Couple

I Think Everybody Loves These Guys

Here’s a quick reminder of the schedule for the challenge and what’s been done so far. Today is day 8 so I’ll be talking about my favorite anime couple. Who could of guessed that it would be these lovable idiots? Probably everybody! Any way, that’s right, I’ll be talking about Isaac and Miria from Baccano!

Taking a Look at my Desktop Backgrounds

Doing Something a bit Different

Today I felt like talking about my desktop backgrounds and my thought process behind how and why I choose the ones I have. This article is a good way to get to know me some more and an opportunity for folks to share some cool images with each other. This isn’t really meant to be in-depth or anything, just for fun. I know this is something fairly atypical of me but I hope you’ll indulge me a bit and enjoy 🙂

Top 25 Anime Openings

When the OP is Just Right…

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve personally put an actual article up on here. So I thought I’d get back into the swing of things by celebrating some of my favorite anime openings. I’ve seen a couple hundred anime, so this list took some careful consideration to whittle down to just 25.

The list is in no particular order and the only rule is that the opening has to have come from a show I’ve seen. Other than that, no repeats for stuff I’ve reviewed outside of honorable mentions. Obviously this is just my personal taste, so if an OP you love isn’t on the list I probably didn’t see the show or just didn’t like the opening that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Anime ABC’s – G Voting Round

Time Again to Vote Folks!

Voting will be open from today until 6/30/17 at 11:59PM.

I know I’ve been gone for a bit due to Uni, but now that I have officially graduated with a degree in Marketing (Yay!) let this be the first marker of my return to the blogging realm! Please note that the survey isn’t going to look quite as great as it did in previous rounds. I had to downgrade to a free account since I can no longer use my school one. Other than no longer looking extra pretty, the survey is functionally the same as the others.

Remember to encourage others to vote for your choice. Let’s shoot for a new high score on number of votes this go around, I know we can do it!

Thanks again for voting!
