The Dream Team is dead. As reported earlier by Anime News Network, Funimation and Crunchyroll announced today that their partnership will be coming to a close next month on November 9th. After that date, the VRV service will be losing FunimationNow and HIDIVE will be joining the service.

This post is part of my series called “I Cry Every Time”, or ICET (Ice-Tea) for short. The goal of this series is to highlight scenes in games, anime, TV shows, movies, books, etc. that have caused me to cry, weep, bawl, or shed a lone tear in response to an emotional state brought upon by the scene (not by any…

What a shocking surprise, I yet again set a deadline for myself, and yet again I ended up passing it. Seems to be a running theme this year. Anyways, no excuse for it this time, I plain and simply ended up running a few weeks behind on some of the shows I was watching and ended up putting this article off to instead…

It’s hard to believe it has been about five months since I wrote my first post highlighting my favorite anisongs of last season. A lot has happened since then and have been spending most of last month catching up last season and keeping up with the latest simuldubs this season. I took a leap of faith on VRV last month…

There have been a lot of studies on the relationship between human behaviour and the media. Most of them are usually concerned more with negative effects such as causing violence or some other behaviour disorders like eating disorder to name at least one. Today, I’d like to talk more about positive effects the media…

It’s that time of the anime season, folks. Having collectively watched an unholy amount of anime this summer, the AniTAY community has once again taken on the mighty task of collectively deciding which shows we like (and don’t like, but you won’t hear about those here) and compiled them into a handy list.

I often rewatch certain episodes of the anime Rurouni Kenshin. The Shishio arc is one of my favorite seasons in anime. I was watching it the other day and I started to notice things. Maybe it’s because I’ve been immersing myself in the game lately, but I began to wonder of the writer of KOTOR 2, Chris Avellone, is an…

Captain Earth was a mecha show from 2014 by Studio Bones, hyped due to their past pedigree with other mecha series like Eureka Seven and Star Driver. It was gorgeous, it was a mess, good but not quite great, and I liked it overall. So its biggest contribution to my life was, of course, an episode with crepes.

This is the first post in new series I’m starting called “I Cry Every Time”, or ICET (Ice-Tea) for short. The goal of this series is to highlight scenes in games, anime, TV shows, movies, books, etc. that have caused me to cry, weep, bawl, or shed a lone tear in response to an emotional state brought upon by the scene…

Mari Okada works can be pretty hit-or-miss, but there’s nothing quite like what she brings to the table. Even if the plot itself is amazing or messy, they always manage to provide those rushing feels, regardless of if you loved the work or hated it. It’s a feeling that can be easily addicting, but what happens when…

After some inspiration hit me last year, I made the decision to finally do something I’ve been wanting to do for years now. This year, I flew to Los Angeles to attend Anime Expo for my very first convention! In what I’m expecting will be a short series, I look back at my journey and reflect on what I did and saw, but…

In Todd in the Shadow’s best-hits-of-2016 videos, while spotlighting Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill In Ibiza”, he related his “weird relationship” to the song, with the realization that Mike Posner might have seen his review of it. Well, against all probability, I’m now finding myself with something similar.
