I was listening to a recent episode of Anime World Order where they were discussing their thoughts on the “slice of life” genre. Slice of Life is used to describe a show that follows characters through daily events. These events are depicted as realistic, not sensational like most other anime stories, and any overarching story [...]

Even with slightly heightened expectations from all the hype the movie has been receiving over the past few months, I was completely blown away at just how good this movie was. Sure, the emphasis is on the great cast of characters, but it seemed [...]

I have ran out of money to pay for hosting of the server. So [...]
