      Hey there. I recently took it upon myself to start a new writing project. Having just finished the second draft of a novel, I wanted to keep writing, but try something different. So I decided to start a blog.

      This blog will be taking "shallow dives" into anime, specifically the Harem genre. Take a look and maybe you'll enjoy it! Or maybe you'll want to put a bullet into your head because of the spelling errors.

      And if you do, thank you so much for reading!

        I've just finished my work on High School DxD and have now moved onto a new show: Date A Live!

        Check out my "shallow dive" right here.

          Part two of my look into Date A Live is up now.

          I take a "shallow dive" into how Shido Itsuka is just an "ok" character, and why Tohka Yatogami picks up the slack as a solid female protagonist.

            Today, I go into Part Three of my look into the anime series Date A Live.

            Our "shallow dive" takes us into the characters of Origami, Yoshino, and Kotori and how they begin to show some of the less interesting qualities when it comes to harem anime characters.

              Hey everyone. Today we get into Part Four of my look into Date A Live.

              We "shallow dive" into the character of Kurumi Tokisaki and how her yandere tendencies and really unique take on time magic is a benefit to the show. I also talk briefly about the fanservice or lack thereof in this show and why that's actually a good thing.

                Sup yall, now that I got that stupid spam poster gone, we can continue!

                Today we wrap our look at Date A Live with some concluding thoughts and drop a hint about the next show we'll be taking a "shallow dive" into. Thank you again for taking your time to read!

                  Yo, everyone.

                  Today we start a "shallow dive" into a new anime. We take a slight detour for the usual harem anime, to jump into the series Shimoneta. I briefly talk about the great premise and how this is one of the few shows where the DUB is almost completely superior to the original Japanese.

                    Greetings.

                    Today we take a "shallow dive" into Shimoneta's main male character Tanukichi Okuma, and how he's both an upstanding morale guy just wanting to do good, and the conduit for the audience to get on this wild ride of an anime.

                      Hello!

                      Today's blog entry talks about Shimoneta's main female lead: Ayame Kajou, aka Blue Snow. I take a "shallow dive" into how she's a manic pixie dream girl done right, and how her morals and innocence balances her oodles upon oodles of sex jokes.

                        Ello dere.

                        Today's shallow dive talks about Shimoneta's breakout character: Anna Nishikinomiya. I talk about how she represents the overall thesis of the show, her fantastic dub and sub voices, and just gush about probably the best anime character created in the last ten years.

                          Salutations.

                          Today I go with a smaller entry, where I give some concluding thoughts of Shimoneta. Take a look for yourself!

                            What up.

                            Today marked the premiere of the final episode of High School DxD Hero. I made a post talking about what went wrong, right and my overall thoughts on the season right here.

                              I say what up there.

                              Today I take on a new series in our next "shallow dive" Majikoi ~ Oh! Samurai Girls. I give a brief overview of the story, talk about how the plot doesn't really matter and why it's a hidden gem that's been lost among its companions in the harem genre.

                                Yo,

                                Today I talk about the main male lead of Majikoi: Yamato Naoe. I take a shallow dive into how's there is a lot more going on with this character than you may think. How his feelings towards Miyako are both noble, and a bit dickish, and how his relationship with Momoyo isn't the be all, end all of who he is.

                                  Howdy.

                                  Today I take another detour to give my thoughts on the series Darling in the Franxx. I talk about how the show didn't know what it wanted to be, the ever-changing thesis, and how it has great moments that that threaded together horribly.

                                    Afternoon, or evening.

                                    Today I dig into Majikoi's main female lead: Momoyo Kawakami. I talk about how her feelings of greed and fear help create a character with depth which was more than expected from a show like this.

                                      Hey guys.

                                      Today I look at Majikoi's main secondary female, and the show's comic relief: Miyako Shiina. I talk about how she is fucking hilarious, and how the show giving her just a little bit of extra development helps fill in the corners of her character and provides a foil for Momoyo.
