What better way to start the 12 Days of Anime 2018 than by talking about my return to blogging? This has actually been one of the highlights of my year! I recently wrote about the things that I’ve been able to achieve in the past six months since coming off of my hiatus, including: increasing my view and follower count, kick-starting my first ever tag post, and writing more than 50 posts, but, boring number stuff aside, it’s also been an immensely fulfilling experience!
Imagine this: you’ve just started working, living, or studying someplace new and you learn that your colleague/neighbour/classmate, like you, loves anime. Great, you think, we have something in common! Based on this common interest, as well as other important factors (like them actually being a decent person), you soon become firm friends. Heck, maybe you even start dating! But as you get to know them better, you learn that *gasp* their taste in anime is terrible. We’ve all been there! Below is a handy guide on how to navigate these rocky waters without shipwrecking your blossoming friendship.
I once wrote that I’d only feel as if I’d made it as a blogger once I’d made myself known enough to be tagged on the regular. So I guess I can call it a day now, because, folks, I’ve made it! This week I was tagged, not just once, but twice, as part of The Real Neat Blog Award. So, yeah, I’ll be seeing you around! Quit while you’re ahead and all that…

My hubby and I are both huge lovers of anime! Even though he doesn’t have much free time to sit down and watch it by himself anymore (a 60 hour-long work week will do that to you), we still make it a point to watch it together, both taking turns to choose a show. I’ll usually pick a show that I’ve already seen for us to watch together, because I just love sharing with other people the things I love – that’s why I blog! Made in Abyss, the surprise hit of 2017, was my latest choice. That’s why I decided to write about my favourite Made in Abyss character for this month’s Character Spotlight: Ouzen the “Immovable Sovereign”. This might seem like an odd choice for favourite character. She’s certainly much less lovable than Regu, Riko, or Nanachi, the show’s main characters. But during this post I hope to convince you as to why Ouzen is no less incredible.
Despite growing up on Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto – all big name shounen anime with attacks far more iconic than Saitama’s punch – it would still have to be my all-time favourite. This can be boiled down to three simple reasons.
