So a long while back, I write an article describing the high quality of volume one of the official serialization of Arifureta. You can find it here.

Memories, Nostalgia and Fruits Basket+A bit about my otaku habits
I must confess, I don’t watch a lot of anime. I’m the kind of person that’s fine with spoilers, but if I’ve experienced a story via one visual medium like manga, then I have a hard time fully enjoying it in another visual medium like anime. (Beware, this is going to be a long one)…
How No To Summon A Demon Lord Is Pretty Enjoyable Trash+A short discourse on dense harem protags
Cut to 2018, when I was barely more than a few anime and Animeheaven was still alive. Instead of using livechart, I just used to wait for the anime updates on Animeheaven to see what new anime were coming out, since I’m not as involved in finding out information about anime as I’m for light…

Go-toubun No Hanayome: A Case Study In The Art Of Storytelling
So I’m a bit late with this article. this was originally supposed to go up on Thursday, but as you can see, it’s either Saturday or Sunday depending on which time zone you live in. I apologize for my tardiness, but the thing is, this article was not an easy one to write. I had…
