Steven Universe is a show that starts out strange, odd, completely weird, and grows to become something with ridiculous amounts of depth. From the story of a young boy who has his powers triggered by Cookie Cat Ice Cream bars, to a complex tale of how the passing of one Rose Quartz has changed theContinue reading “A Coming-of-Age Story: Bubbles, and Innocence in Steven Universe!”

Sin, the Book of Genesis, and Playing God: a Death Note Analysis!
WARNING: Religious topics, particularly those discussed in the book of Genesis, will be used in this analysis. If that’s not your cup of tea, skip the post and move on! What would YOU do, if you had a book that would kill anyone whose name was written in it? This is the dilemma presented toContinue reading “Sin, the Book of Genesis, and Playing God: a Death Note Analysis!”
The Legend of Zelda: Death in Majora’s Mask
Majora’s Mask is one of my favorite games of all time, and by a sizable margin, my favorite Zelda game of all time. Not to say that the other games aren’t technically better- it’s just that Majora’s mask confronts topics and introduced mechanics that no other Zelda game has been able to replicate. Among saidContinue reading “The Legend of Zelda: Death in Majora’s Mask”
Plastic Memories: Giftia Lifespans and Alzheimer’s Disease
JUST A WARNING- this post will talk about a topic I realize is sensitive to many- Alzheimer’s Disease. I try to remain academic about it all, but if you think it may be distasteful, feel free to skip the post. If you guys have read my post on five of the most emotional anime outContinue reading “Plastic Memories: Giftia Lifespans and Alzheimer’s Disease”
Overwatch: Diagnosing the Widow and the Reaper
Today, we’re going back to Overwatch for another look at the two most aggressive, murderous, and evil characters in the game: Widowmaker, and Reaper. These two are the closest things we have to recurring antagonists, and it’s clear that their desire for violence and bloodshed is extraordinary. Widowmaker’s profession as an assassin, and Reaper’s willingnessContinue reading “Overwatch: Diagnosing the Widow and the Reaper”
Life Is Money: Sensory Deprivation’s Effect on the Brain
It’s obvious: people go to extreme lengths for the sake of cash. Most blatantly, people can rob a bank, a gas station, hold others up at gunpoint, but such desire for money can be shown in other means as well. Questionable business decisions, moral ambiguity, participation in crazy game shows, money is quite often theContinue reading “Life Is Money: Sensory Deprivation’s Effect on the Brain”
Psycho Pass: How to Measure Criminality?
Heyo, Ayron here, and I’ve just gotta say I’ve been missing out on some great anime. Haven’t been keeping up with recent ones as much as I’d like, Re:Zero, Orange, Erased, etc. In place of those, I’ve been making my way through a series a good friend recommended to me: Psycho-Pass. For those unaware, theContinue reading “Psycho Pass: How to Measure Criminality?”
Undertale: is Sans a Nihilist?
About time I got to something Undertale-related. So yeah. Undertale was an absolutely fantastic game. Despite a fandom that, for many people, over-hyped the game to the point of absurdity, there was pretty good reason for it all. Between the hugely innovative gameplay, the unique story, great chara- you’ve heard this all before. And ofContinue reading “Undertale: is Sans a Nihilist?”
A Look at Xenoblade Chronicles: Gnostic Roots
Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most INTERESTING games I’ve ever had the pleasure to play. Between great characters, a crazy setting (the entire game takes place on the bodies of two planet-sized robots like what the hell) inspiration from, of all things, ancient Gnostic beliefs, and a great story to boot, Xenoblade is ridiculous in the bestContinue reading “A Look at Xenoblade Chronicles: Gnostic Roots”
An Angel Beats Analysis: Iwasawa’s Story
SPOILERS I’ll be covering parts of the anime, Angel Beats, that are most certainly spoiler-ific. So. If you haven’t seen this series, and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read! D: Angel Beats, although it has received some reputation for having plot holes, and being just decent among the feely anime out there, isContinue reading “An Angel Beats Analysis: Iwasawa’s Story”
