This past April marked the end of my time writing for GameRant! It was a long three years in which I wrote a lot of things I'm very proud of. Here's a link to my author page, and I might follow up this post with some of my favorite articles I wrote during my time there.
The new Daemons of the Shadow Realm PV a few days ago got me thinking...
Bones Film and the Hunger for Longer Anime Seasons
As Bones concludes My Hero Academia, it’s already lining up some exciting stuff for the future, which could mark a subtle but significant shift for the medium.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Made Me a Fan Again
It’s been a while since I’ve truly enjoyed watching Demon Slayer, but the start of the final trilogy has gone a long way to winning me back.

*sigh* I should be more active on here. I mean, technically, I am active on Bluesky, I just prefer my alt because then at least there's less depressing stuff on my feed. Anyway, expect (hopefully) more frequent posts about anime and whatnot.

I used to adore Demon Slayer, but while I'm hyped for the new film, the show hasn't quite been the same since the early entries. Here are my thoughts on the anime up to now.

I finished Shinichiro Watanabe's Lazarus, and boy, this show really needed double the number of episodes. Read my review on SakuraSunrise.blog.
Lazarus Is Dumb (Fun)
I kept my expectations low for Lazarus, now let’s see how much that helped, how much that was needed to begin with, and what a measuring of expectations couldn’t save at all.
