8 Random Tidbits From Living in Japan

I know I wanted to write about Japan, but then I got here and settled in and whatnot, and I realized that a lot has already been covered somewhere before, for example mainstream tips like “don’t rub your chopsticks together”, that I’d read a million times prior to coming here. So I tried to come up with some other things that I hadn’t known.

Even these points probably have been mentioned before.
But they’re pretty minor things, so maybe not!

So let’s get into 8 random tidbits I’ve picked up so far from living in Japan for a couple of months. In no particular order.

Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen (Pt. 1)

And now for the final Kizumonogatari movie, and the conclusion to the story of where everything began, and why things ended up the way they did.

Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen (Pt. 2)

Part 2 time, also the Tsubasa Hanekawa & Koyomi Araragi part.

Giving 12 Underrated Anime Their Fair Share

Last week I published a post going over 8 anime that I feel are overrated because they simply don’t live up to the amount of hype and attention they frequently get (in my opinion).

This week, we’re going to look at the flip side of that, with 12 anime that I consider underrated and don’t get enough attention! Or maybe they do, and I’ve just missed it!

This is all my opinion, of course.

Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen (Pt. 1)

Movie 2 time.
Which means we get to see Koyomi Araragi fight some vampire hunters!
Also, more Tsubasa Hanekawa!

Anime Studio Challenge: 3xCube's Jitsu wa Watashi wa (Actually, I Am…) (Review)

Alright, another anime studio challenge review.
This time, it’s 3xCube’s Jitsu wa Watashi Wa.

There were only two choices here, so it was basically either a supernatural school harem, or an adventure romance. And I went with the school harem, of course! In reality I was just in the mood for some comedy.

In the spirit of transparency I will disclose that I did skip the studio / producer 33 Collective, whose only work was a 40 episode children’s show. I hadn’t originally factored kids shows into the rules, but I’ll probably end up skipping those too if they are the only option. We’ll see though on a case-by-case basis…

Spoiler-free as usual.

Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen (Pt. 3)

Ok. Now with Tsubasa’s interactions with Koyomi, and then one of my favourite all-time Monogatari scenes – when Koyomi first meets Kiss-Shot out of the way… we can get to the rest of Kizumonogatari.

The second half of the movie.

The Koyomi vampire part of the movie.
