This episode is an exception not the rule. But because I allow myself to be more transparent in podcast form than I usually am even in real life, I hope you forgive the rambling I do in this episode as I just sort of "vent" some of the negativity I've allowed myself to be thinking. If that's not your cup of tea, skip this episode, no harm no foul, I totally understand and get it.

And to remind you that it's O K to vent out negativity. Some of us are bottlers and if we have no place to vent, it will manifest in far worse ways so allow yourself the space to acknowledge if something's not right. Love you all, see you around <3

HELLO FRIENDS!!!! Ghiblifest is in full swing this year and also a movie that I've been SUPER excited to watch for a while is finally having it's US premiere. So let's talk a little bit about Studio Ghibli, my thoughts on what I think captures my attention and what about Studio Ghibli works that just "gets to me", and also draw some parallels to an animator/director that's been dubbed by many as "The next Hayao Miyazaki" in Shinkai Makoto.

I KNOW IT'S MARCH AND IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE LAST EPISODE.  BUT HAPPY 2023 ALL, HOPE IT'S BEEN GOOD AND GETTING BETTER AND AMAZING.

Going to word ramble a bit since I've recently binged through 2 shows both on the concept and topic of Revenge.  Talk a bit of my thoughts on the plot and also on the idea of revenge itself.  Hope you enjoy the episode and may the next one come on time this time LOL.

HOOO BOY.  This episode felt kinda personal to record.  Was looking back through my podcast notes reminiscing about this year and realized this was sitting in my google doc but I never recorded it.  Now's a good time, so let's talk a little bit <3.

HELLO HI FRIENDS.  We're nearing the end of 2022.  Gonna touch a bit on how this year was and my plans moving forward.  How was your year? Let's talk about it

Hey Guys!!!!!! Long time no talk.  We missed the September episode but October is here and so is another podcast episode.  Just wanted to talk about something that really was on my mind this past week on the idea of perfection/comparing two things and forcing one to be good and therefore the other has to be bad/sucks.

LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK <3 and as always stay awesome fam.

HEY GUYS.  Episode's a little late but we here now <3.  I was brainstorming/writing down thoughts/outlines for some other podcast episodes and was thinking about how some of my favorite animes, some of my favorite anime OPs/EDs are from things that aren't recent.  That's not to say that there haven't been AMAZING things recently, just that I personally seem to put a LOT of weight behind nostalgia in my personal rankings/ratings in determining what my "favorites" are.  Let's ramble a bit about it <3.

Hey Guys.  Spring 2022 simulcast recently ended and had some great stuff to watch.  Let's talk a bit about what I enjoyed =D.

ALRIGHT FIRST OFF, I AM A FLAKE FOR TAKING A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM SEPTEMBER TO APRIL, MAKING A PODCAST EPISODE ABOUT BEING SORRY ABOUT IT AND THEN SKIPPING MAY LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER.

Either way, I hope you've all been well <3.  The simulcast season is in full swing on Crunchyroll so I wanted to take this episode to talk a little about what I've been enjoying this simulcast season, especially the stuff that didn't register on my radar that ended up being SUPER AMAZING.  Let's talk about it a bit shall we??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I promise this isn't an April Fool's joke.

So it's been 6 months since I last recorded and uploaded a podcast episode.  Let's catch up a little bit on what's happened in the meanwhile and the plan going forward.  I missed you all <3!!!! Did you miss me?
