An anime that has Utada Hikaru singing for its opening/ending theme is always worth watching. Fumetsu no Anata E (To Your Eternity) was released on Netflix a few months ago. And to my surprise, it was not what I expected! The story starts out with the creation of an “immortal” being that started out as […]
Japan Sinks: 2020 is an animated series available on Netflix about – well, Japan sinking. Having watched the below video about the great earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan in 2011, the story becomes a bit more real and scary. The Netflix series is based off a disaster novel written by Sakyo Komatsu, published in […]
Weathering with You (Japanese Title: Tenki no Ko, literally Child of the Weather), is Makoto Shinkai’s 12th film. I loved Kimi No Na Wa, and was lucky to catch in in the cinema – I watched it without any expectations, and only finding out later on that it was from the same guy who made […]
Although day tours are convenient, because of the distance and the length of the commute, it can still be tiring and draining. After two consecutive day tours, including waking up early for the pick-ups, my body caved in to sleep. In short, I woke up at 12 noon! My remaining days until I leave on […]
I woke up late today (past 10 AM) because I slept late from blogging two days worth of posts. My morning itinerary was supposed to be Shinjuku Gyoen but since I’ve been there before, and since I’ve had enough Sakura from the other day, I decided to skip it for today. Morning I went up […]
You can’t be in Japan and not visit the mecca of anime and gadgets – Akihabara. This was the only item on our itinerary for today. Our check out time was at 10 AM – we already did our packing the night before. After having a simple breakfast of bread, milk, bacon and coffee, we […]

The plot follows a kid, Ren, who ran away from home after his mother died, thinking that his father has abandoned him. He walked the streets full of anger and hate – until he ran into Kumatetsu. Kumatetsu is one of the top contenders […]
I finally got around to finishing all available episodes of Attack on Titan on Netflix (US)! It is as good as people say it is. I did not read the manga, so I really had no expectations on the story, nor saw any of the twists coming. Warning: Spoilers ahead! Eren is your typical protagonist […]
I am grateful for the Hunter X Hunter 2011 remake. But, what really made Hunter X Hunter special to me back then were the songs that played during the start and at the end of each episode. I even printed out lyrics and memorized them by heart. So, for today’s ThrowBack Thursday – here are […]
Because I promised myself to watch anime more regularly, I will be posting the ones I am watching on a monthly basis – also so that I can keep track of the ones I’ve finished, just for the hell of it. For this month, I only started on 3 – all of which are ongoing […]
