Anime series I never expected to like #1

I have been watching anime before I knew what anime was. As a child, I remember waking up early to watch Cardcaptor Sakura or sleeping late to watch Hell Girl. Only later in life was I introduced to this term 'anime' that basically gave a name to my favourite thing to watch. The one thing that hasn't changed as I transitioned through life is watching anime. True I have some periods where I haven't been keeping up with the anime community but I was still watching really old anime. Anime is a constant in my life to this day. I can't say much about the future but for now, yes I am an anime fan. However, I am not extremely up-to-date with the anime community.

As a means to keep me from losing track of time, writing became a sort of motivation. I woke up every day to write and write some more before I sleep. My writing frequency increased (compared to the past year), from twice a month to every day, in two weeks. Seeing this pattern, on a whim, I challenged myself to fill up two pages every day for 30 days. 30-day journaling challenge 30-day challenges are common. Why 30 days? It so...

Replaying Fire Emblem Three Houses (again)

Image
 This may be a year too late but I’m still writing it.  If you have any interest in games, specifically console games, you may have heard of Fire Emblem. If there is the off-chance that you don’t know it, Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game franchise. What’s a tactical role-playing game? It’s basically games that feature a grid map where the placement of units brings you to either triumph or ruin. But that’s putting it really simply. Something like this: Image from Nintendo.com I was not a big fan of strategy games as a child and that aversion has followed me into adulthood. I sincerely believed that I would never touch a game of the tactical genre in my life. Then, Fire Emblem: Three Houses (FE3H) came out last year as the latest installment of its franchise.
