This is the first book of a long series written by Robert Jordan. Although The Wheel of Time is considered one of the most important series in fantasy literature, it’s clear that The Eye of the World took inspiration, A LOT, from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Sing “Yesterday” For Me
Sing "Yesterday" For Me is a drama (seinen) that surprised me. I rarely appreciate a drama about unrequited love. Most of the time it feels forced, and that is why I don't enjoy the genre. However, Sing "Yesterday" For Me felt different. It is refreshing to see an anime that takes itself serious, without recurring to… Continue reading Sing “Yesterday” For Me
Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
"It's Coraline, Not Caroline. Coraline," said Coraline. Coraline, as it is described by the author during its introduction, tells the story of a little girl called Coraline, not Caroline.Caroline... sorry, Coraline is a kid that is bored. Her parents are always busy, rarely paying any attention to their daughter. Even her breakfasts are bland. One… Continue reading Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
Please Tell Me! Galko-chan
Please Tell Me! Galko-chan doesn't follow a plot per se. It has a few characters, each filling a stereotype that the protagonist breaks; Galko being the girl that despite her looks, she's kind of a mixture of her other two friends. Otako, is the... otaku, because that was not obvious enough. And Ojou, who's the… Continue reading Please Tell Me! Galko-chan
Wakakozake
This anime is very short. It makes me wonder if I should consider it an anime at all; each episode is two-minutes long. Perhaps it could be considered an advertisement? I'd love to try all of their food just by looking at it. There's not much to explore. We have to admit that Japanese cuisine… Continue reading Wakakozake
Hanebado!
This is one of the animes I've enjoyed more during this quarantine. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it in two or three days; but it took me more than a week to watch the 13 episodes. By the way, you can watch Hanebado! legally on Crunchyroll by clicking here! HANEBADO! tells the story of… Continue reading Hanebado!
Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
"Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk."Unfortunately, the Milk, is the adventure of a dad (I call him the Not-Gaiman) that went to buy milk for his children's breakfast cereal, and his tea. It takes a lot of time to return home, so when he finally arrived, the kids start asking what happened; this… Continue reading Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
The Name’s Boogiepop
Boogiepop and the Others is a difficult thing to describe. First things first, I need to warn you: the anime is slow. And when I say slow, I really mean it. Its opening might give you the wrong idea of the show, so I advice you to just enjoy the music, but don't judge it… Continue reading The Name’s Boogiepop
Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll
After watching the anime Violet Evergarden, I was excited when I saw on Facebook that Konnichiwa Festival brought the movie to Latin American theaters. Of course, as I live just across the border from Juarez, I didn't give a second thought, got my ticket and went to Cinépolis (the biggest and most popular theater in… Continue reading Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll
