The Zodiac Room

"Consider, can the universe be justifiably called infinite? Doubtful. It may not have a discernible end, but it had a beginning and its component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf-life. Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything, it's that scientists often make very poor poets. We're all just a ship of fools chasing phantoms, heedless of what really underwrites natural law." – Okabe Rintaro

At University this semester, i'm taking a Music Theory class, in which i've spent some time analyzing music, and the way that it can affect us. There are dozens of examples of these effects, may of which can be seen in our everyday lives, so I thought i'd make a mini-series to talk about some …

Carnival Phantasm and the Rules of Comedy

On April 27, 2018April 27, 2018 By AstralGeminiIn Anime Rants, Anime Review8 Comments

Recently, the lovely Irina wrote a post on her blog called The Lighter Side of Deconstructions, where she analyzed Comedy anime, and several forms of 'deconstruction' that can occur in that genre. I left a comment on that article, as it reminded me of an assignment I once had to do in my Advanced Theater …

Hi, guys! I'm a part-time blogger, gamer, and Anime buff. In between the jobs I work, I like to dig down into what makes Anime such a polarizing medium, and write about it when I have time. I started watching Anime around age 8, and have kept going strong since then. My goal is to provide high-quality content that's enjoyable to read, and suitable for all ages :)
