Welcome, all, again. Today's discussion will focus upon The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, a quiet isekai offering one of the least flamboyant--yet one of the most solidly constructed--storylines ...
Welcome, all, again. Our last discussion concerned a dark plot by an abused healer to remake his world, so I thought a much lighter take on world conquest might ...
Welcome, all, again. 2020 was a rough year the world over, and almost everyone I know is feeling lingering effects in some way. I myself lost relatives, coworkers, ...
Welcome, all, again--and happy holidays(!), of whatever flavor you prefer. This time around, we'll be looking at I'm Standing on a Million Lives, a show that has me puzzled ...
Welcome, all, again. This last was a slow viewing season for me, with my favorite genre (slice-of-life) severely underrepresented. Only three new shows managed to catch my interest, ...
Welcome, all, again. Since last my last column appeared here, Corona-chan swung by briefly (I tested negative, thanks!); my profession has been even further vilified; and Memphis regressed from ...
Welcome, all, again. Today let's talk about Princess Connect! Re: Dive, a show that can be kind of hard to pin down: it's comedy; it's adventure; it's bodaciously harem! ...
Welcome, all, again. We are transitioning from a particularly bountiful viewing season, and one of my favorites was yet another anime about anime, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! ...
Welcome, all, again. I recently raided my backlog of series-to-be-watched and pulled out 2011's Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl--literally pulled it out of my DVD collection, where it's lingered ...

Welcome back to another wonderful Wednesday with the Wowl in the Wafters... I mean Owl in the Rafters... Today I wanted to do something a little different.

Haha! Thought you had gotten rid of me did you? Well, I'm not done yet! Since I normally update on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, I've technically got a review scheduled for tomorrow, but I'm pushing it forward a day and tacking on just one more title to my 13 Day countdown as a special All Saint's Day send off!

Happy Halloween, kiddies! After a tiresome two weeks we're at an end of this monster of a marathon. My final treat to you this month will be a personal favorite of mine, a manga series that really embodies the core values of Japanese horror as I see them.
