Welcome again to your favourite month-to-month featurette – my Month-to-month Favorites after all! I’ve loads to get into so let’s dive into it.
Before everything – I’m genuinely sorry for anybody who took the time to remark and I both replied actually late or missed it. I received an excessive amount of into my very own head once more, and I flaked on participating with you guys regularly. I’m doing higher now, and making some extent to remark extra… instinctively? Slightly then over-thinking it once I do. Once more, I actually at all times respect your feedback, likes, and many others. It actually means loads. I’m actively engaged on doing higher on replying on a well timed method.
Secondly, whereas I’m engaged on commenting – I’m nonetheless going to be scatter-brained about the entire thing. I began my new job in August, after practically a yr of being out of employment. It’s been a whirlwind, however in a great way. Nonetheless, I’m nonetheless adjusting again to being employed so my on-line exercise will probably be a bit wonky. I’ve additionally had some actually attention-grabbing anime associated incidents? developments? At my job. Possibly I’ll speak about them at a later cut-off date.
However the first massive characteristic, is once more for the Saint Seiya or Knights of Zodiac crowd. Ray Mona has achieved it once more of us! The cancelled American live-action therapy of the collection titled STARSTORM has been present in all of it’s seven minutes of glory. Watch it, and the invention within the video proper under!
Anime
From the Anime Feminist is “Present Time!: Mixing erotica, intercourse positivity, and TV idols“. It’s a extremely attention-grabbing perspective on erotica, popular culture, and extra. This publish definitely received Present Time! on my radar for afterward!
Manga
Not on WordPress, however nonetheless price studying is Anitrendz’s “INTERVIEW: Dororo Meets Cyberpunk in Atsushi Kaneko’s Search and Destroy“. As somebody who devoured the primary quantity (it’s out now in English!), I extremely advocate giving this a learn if you happen to’re a fan of Dororo in any capability. Or simply actually dig interviews with mangaka’s after all.
There’s then Weeb Revues “My Hero Academia: 430 Chapters of Superhero Excellence“. It’s an important piece speaking concerning the titan of manga My Hero Academia now that the primary story has closed. Written by a really passionate fan, it’s effectively price giving a perusal. Additionally open to discussions about it in my remark part too. I would like extra peoples’ ideas on the collection.
MangaKast and I appear to be on the identical wavelength these days. I used to be pleasantly shocked to see that they too had learn “Black Magic by Shirow Masamune” lately. It’s reassuring to know I wasn’t the one one a bit perplexed by Black Magic‘s story. This manga is one for certain, to learn critiques for earlier than committing the time to learn.
Romance Manga Rec’s additionally has fairly the blast from the previous (no less than for me) this month with “Excessive College Debut – Sporty Lady Meets Reserved Man“. It warms my coronary heart that people are nonetheless studying the older releases from Shojo Beat. Whereas Excessive College Debut isn’t a private favourite of mine, I did actually get pleasure from studying it once I was youthful. I hope individuals take a look at the weblog first (criminally underneath learn!) and decide it up for themselves.
There’s additionally “Catch These Palms! – Manga Assessment” from Causes to Anime. It’s a strong evaluation, a few charming yuri collection that appeals to my yankee-girl loving self. The title was tremendous in style on Instagram too, so it’s good to learn that it was well worth the hype!
If I see a GL beneficial, I believe it’s solely truthful {that a} BL must be beneficial to. Fortunately Yeollie’s Story Time has us cowl with “Nagahama to Be, or to not Be Assessment – or: possibly a boy simply desires to promote fish“. I’m a sucker for Scarlet Beriko’s works, so this advice is a bit self-indulgent. Regardless, learn the evaluation and see if it’s for you?
We even have “Manga Assessment: GREY By Yoshihisa Tagami” through Animehead’s Retroworld. The story about why they picked up this manga is simply as charming because the manga itself! I’m definitely occupied with studying it if I can ever get my arms on it…
Rounding out this specific part is Manga Musings: Obscure Manga with “Hotaru Highway Map“. It jogs my memory of fairly just a few different very healthful manga, and the evaluation is at all times very detailed on the story, positives and negatives. (Additionally one other weblog I believe is criminally under-read!)

However Weeb Revues and I are synching by way of music with their publish “Bonus Put up: First Impressions of Ado’s Idol Group, Phantom Siita“. Should you haven’t checked the group out, now’s the time since their first album will probably be out in October. Make sure to drop your ideas on their publish as effectively.

From Youtube is the video “The Story of ROMANTICA – The WORST Visible Kei Band“, by Brifyjek. The video was a little bit of a flash bang for me since ROMANTICA was a meme earlier than that was a phrase, and again once I was first entering into VKei as a complete. Listening to the entire story, that we’re no less than conscious of, in 2024 is loopy within the funniest full-circle kind of manner.
