2017: A Girl & Her Anime in Numbers
It's common during December to start reflecting on the past year. I've decided to share you guys my personal reflection on 2017!
A Summer Vacation Gone Wrong: The Gods Lie Review
The Gods Lie. follows the story of eleven year old Natsuru Nanao - a young boy who loves to play football and finds it awkward to talk to girls.

Smile in the Diet: Idol Jihen Review
Idol Jihen is, as the title suggests, an idol show that was an original story created by MAPPA and Studio VOLN. For many, the synopsis of the show will sound ridiculous. I get that. I'll be honest, though, it was partly this that made me want to watch it in the first place.
Orange: An Eternally Important Series
As I mention in my review, it's an emotional rollercoaster. It's often heartbreaking to watch and I shouted at my laptop screen quite a few times whilst watching it. Orange definitely has it's flaws, I'm not going to deny that. What I do take into account in my rating, however, is its boldness and bravery with its inclusion of controversial topics.

My Anime Goals for 2018
Personally, I'm going to be making a lot of resolutions this year, because I want a challenge and because I need them to motivate me somewhat. I'm going to take a step to the side for a moment and think about my anime goals for the next year. What am I wanting to watch? What am I wanting to do? Well...
The Anime Nativity: Tokyo Godfathers
Tokyo Godfathers has become a little Christmas tradition for me now - for the past three years, I've seen a least a little bit of Satoshi Kon's 2003 film. It's now an element of Christmas that I can only compare to watching a nativity play.
MCM Birmingham – November 2017
Usually for conventions, I don't get much sleep, but this year I didn't sleep a wink. I just wasn't tired enough. I did try to get some sleep because I knew the day would be so busy, but each attempt of getting sleep simply failed. Regardless, I got out of bed at about 3:30 in the morning and began getting ready for the convention.
