“Midori: Shōjo Tsubaki” Review
I promised at the end of my previous article that I’d review something worse than Violence Jack next, and today I will keep that promise. But what could be worse than Violence Jack? I present to you… Midori: Shōjo Tsubaki! Midori was adapted from a manga by Maruo Suehiro titled “Shōjo Tsubaki” or “Mr. Arashi’s…

“Violence Jack” Review
When I heard about Violence Jack from another reviewer, I thought, “That sounds almost as bad as Game of Thrones.” I’d heard this was one of the worst anime ever, that morality wasn’t a concept that existed in Violence Jack’s world, and that the male characters were all rapists, child-murderers, and worse. Now I’ve seen…

“Death Note” (2017) Review
I love Death Note, but this movie is not Death Note. It may bear the title of “Death Note”, but it’s really not. It doesn’t surprise me that this movie is bad. I fully expected the American version of Death Note to be bad, but I didn’t expect it to be quite as terrible as…

Scapple Review
I use Scrivener by Literature and Latte for all my writing. I’ve already written a review of that app so I’ll just sum it up by saying that it’s a fully-featured studio for writers; it has virtually everything you’ll need to write and organize any writing project. Sometimes, however, you just need to map out…

Five Terrible Film Scores
Think of any great movie you love; chances are it wouldn’t be half the film it is without the music that accompanies its amazing writing and performances. The right music can amplify the emotions of a scene or change its meaning entirely. Often it sets the tone for the film. Beyond that, a great score…

Top 10 Worst Book-to-Film Adaptations
There’s been some controversy concerning Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Hobbit, with some criticizing decisions such as making a three-part movie, the addition of original background characters, and many even pettier complaints. Some have even gone so far as to say that it “wasn’t very true to the source material,” despite staying far truer to…

“Harry Potter” Book Series Review
This post is outdated! When I wrote my original review of the Harry Potter series, I was holding back with regard to some of my criticisms. With author J.K. Rowling using her considerable influence to spread transphobic propaganda, I feel it’s necessary to criticize both her political views and her work, which glorifies some truly…

How My Little Pony Became Great
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is my favourite show of the decade so far. I don’t think anyone expected when the first generation of My Little Pony aired in the ‘80s that it would eventually become a great show, but miraculously it managed it, proving that good writing can accomplish anything. In this article,…

“The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾” Review
I wanted to briefly write down some thoughts on a book I just finished called “The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾” by Sue Townsend. As the title suggests, the story is told through the journal of the gawkish Adrian Mole. I don’t want to go into too much detail, as you really should…

Sexism in One Piece
There’s nothing more certain to draw masses of ire than the criticism of a well-liked show. That said, I don’t really have much choice in the matter, as I could not ignore such blatant sexism as one finds in the nineteenth episode of the show One Piece. First of all, I have heard that the…
