"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
Why is this show so consistently excellent? I mean, i've spent a lot of time thinking about it, but this show really does show off a nature of true excellence when it comes down to it. The characters are so real, so believably flawed, and weak, but also stronger than they think. The story arcs …

Well... the show's done it again. A second emotional climax happening over the typical 3-episode character arc, but beautifully blended together so that the previous story arc still retains meaning. And as we come to the end of her arc... I feel like I owe an apology to Tomoe for some of the things I …

It took me a bit longer than I had intended to get around to this, but thank you Aria for nominating me for this tag! If you haven't read her original post yet, make sure to check it out HERE! You pick your first word, your setting, and your story genre from the list below. …
While not nearly as enthusiastically as several of the previous picks, I must say, I did enjoy this first episode of Boarding School Juliet. Taking the basic "forbidden love" concept of the original Romeo and Juliet story, and twisting it into a high-school comedy, the first episode alone opens with a number of colorful and …
Yep, it's that time again, when I get a bit lazy and fill a blog post slot with another update from my book that I've been writing on Wattpad. We're all the way up to Chapter 5 now, and the story and characters are really starting to take shape. I've had some struggles up to …
Step aside, MMO Junkie. There's a new kid on the block, and they are not messing around. Wotakoi tells the story of Narumi, a young woman who has just quit her old job, moving to a new company due to discrimination from her peers because of her otaku interests. When she gets to her new …
This Spring season has given us quite a few shows of the "shorts" variety. As i've mentioned previously, i'm generally not a fan of short-episode shows, as they usually don't tell a story or develop the characters in interesting ways. I didn't realize that Crossing Time was a short when I initially picked it up, …
I usually don't go for the "shorts" each season, with Tsurezure Children last year being an exception. However, I decided to give My Sweet Tyrant a try... and i'm happy that I did. With only a 4 minute runtime in each episode, it's hard to really get to know characters or tell a story... but …
I've wanted to start something like this for a while, but welcome to the Bookshelf of The Zodiac Room, home to a wide variety of Manga, Manhwa, Light Novels, and more, as well as my opinions on them. As this is the first post i'm making about much besides Anime and Games, i'm taking the …
Fall 2017 was a season that was absolutely jam-packed with fabulous shows, many of them being shows i'll remember for a long, long time. In all the excitement of the season, I inevitably ended up missing out on quite a few shows. At the recommendation from several people, though, I went back and decided to …
