Instead of “Happy Memorial Day,” maybe go with a more solemn, “May we always remember.”

Secrets of the Silent Witch is the anime and light novel fan’s answer to Harry Potter:
Magic school setting? Check.
Charming cast? Check.
High stakes and addicting storytelling? For sure.
The action’s a bit quieter, but the writing’s more mature—and full of the tropes we otaku adore.

After weeks in approval hell, we finally posted my vacant assistant position. You guys have no idea how excited I am—I'm in desperate need of help. 🙃

I don’t love growing older, but I do love having more years to look back on. It’s easier to give myself grace when I’m not just measuring five years of growth, but twenty-five.

I dunno…episode one of Summer Pockets felt pretty charming to me. Even if it plays like a “generic Key-type series” rather than the real deal, I’ll happily take this over another Day I Became a God. VERY happily.

The one anime I desperately want to watch this season is the one anime that doesn't have a distributor in North America. :/

The “watch party” at my theater was six people. Four didn’t stay for the bonus material at the end, leaving immediately after the last episode ended. 😅
Like the manga, I thought it was FINE. It was cute. I’m going to write up a first impression for @beneaththetangles.bsky.social that’ll post soon.
