[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 13 (A Peaceful Land)

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 10 (A Tale of Mechanical Dolls)
Kino’s Journey is back! I’d say “I’m back,” but I’m not sure I really am…yet. This episode is one that focuses on few characters instead of a country,…

Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 11

Watching an episode called “This Summer’s Going to be a Hot One” in the middle of a (finally) snowy winter is interesting. And happy Valentine’s, by the way!…
Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 5
I actually tweeted right after this episode that Horimiya is in fact a traditional romance but only the cute parts. Apparently, that’s what I like! But before we…

Back for another episode of Horimiya with Irina. How are you doing, Irina? I’m doing great! Thanks for asking! I hope you and the readers are doing just…
[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 8 (Land of Wizards)

Moya’s Random Weekend at the Movies

Where are the Kalafina Members Now?
Kalafina was the only band that I’ve ever actively kept up with, and the main content on this blog used to be Kalafina translyrics. So, for the handful…
[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 6 (Coliseum Pt. 1)

Backstory time! This episode feels more poignant and aesthetically intense than the last few, in a way that I rather loved. Took me a while to figure out…
[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 3 (Land of Prophecies)
Back to our routine of episodic Kino. Just learned that Kino is a “she,” so I won’t be using “they/them” to describe her anymore. This episode features not…
