Manga Review: Bocchi the Rock Vols 1-2, Team Edition

The average anime cour adapts 4-6 volumes of manga; Bocchi the Rock adapts 1.5. Yes, you read that right, one and a half volumes ONLY! Clearly, something unusual is going on with this 4-koma manga.

Life has been prodigiously hard for Taiyo Asano. Having lost his entire family to a tragic car accident, he lives his life of self-imposed isolation, refusing to connect with others.

First Impression: Laid-Back Camp Season 3

An adorably small Shima Rin gets off the train at a countryside station to meet her grandfather. No, this isn't the latest installment of Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, it's actually a flashback sequence running through Rin's mind as she goes on another of her solo camping trips. Back in 4th grade, her grandfather gave Rin her first experience of relaxing in the great outdoors.

First Impression: Train to the End of the World

Nakatomi Youka is a girl in a big city who is just going about her own business, when she’s suddenly plucked from the street to witness the start of 7G. Youka can’t get herself to be as excited about this new technology as the speaker of the event might want her to be. But to get out of this situation as soon as possible, she decides to just play along.

Since it's April 1st, all anime news today is suspect.

So, if someone announces a reboot and / or new season of The Nameko Families, I'm going to be lose it. I'll be sad and irritated cause I literally want more of this show...

...But that won't happen.

Right?

Happy Easter!

He is risen! Happy Easter, friends! Today is the most celebratory day in the Christian calendar—indeed, it's a commemoration of the most celebratory day of all time. The tomb is empty. Death is defeated. Jesus has won. And we all may now join him in everlasting life when we turn to him as our Lord and Savior. I hope you’ll attend a church service today to celebrate the hope we have because of the Resurrection.

First Impression: Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included

Shintarou Tokumitsu is a high school boy who lives in a studio apartment. He lives there by himself, so he’s shocked to find a girl he doesn’t know sleeping on his balcony. This is so unexpected that our protagonist falls on the ground, dropping his mug in the process. Unfortunately, the contents of this mug fall on the young woman. Thankfully, Shintarou is kind enough to lend her a t-shirt while her clothes are drying, but not before the anime makes clear that this series will be of the ecchi harem variety.

A Good and Solemn Friday

"One cannot experience the true Easter experience of the miraculous without first spending time in the dark, struggling for faith on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, when faith is, for the most part, found wanting. The Easter miracle is not to be reduced to a rational, reductionistic faith." Makoto Fujimura, Silence and Beauty Today is "Good Friday," the day when we commemorate the good work, the…

MEGALOBOX S2 – Fighting for a Second Chance

Have you ever been knocked out in real life? I haven't, but I have been punched in the face a few times in middle and high school. I went to a pretty rough middle school, and for the most part, it was full of disrespectful kids. Some did drugs and others wanted to pick a fight. One time I saw a kid taken away from the cafeteria in handcuffs; the rumor was that it was marijuana.
