East Meets West #26: Japanese Digimon Movies .vs. Digimon – The Movie

Ooooh, I think it's time for another Digimon post. For this month's East Meets West, I'm going to be doing something that I've never done before here (surprisingly enough): compare the original Japanese version of a particular movie to a dubbed version. You might be wondering why I just don't do this with all the …

The Traditional Catholic Weeb Speaks: Me, Myself And Manga

When it comes to the topic of manga, I quickly tap out because although I've been involved in the anime sphere since 2016, I haven't bothered to deal with reading a manga volume as extensively as most other people I know.

While in previous chapters the author discussed the basics of perfect uniformity of the soul to what God …

Summer Wars is quite interesting. Essentially, it's the final product of a combination of factors, such as the director of Digimon Adventure: Bokura No War Game, and a mishmash of other plot devices from films like Die Hard and Wargames, all combined into one big anime-themed melting pot. It's not as well-known as other films …

The Traditional Catholic Weeb Speaks: 7 Favorite/Disliked Anime EDs

Apart from consuming hours upon hours of Stanley Cup playoff hockey action, namely those involving the upstart New York Islanders, I also find myself trawling across several other anime bloggers' works on WordPress during my downtime - of which I have much, now that the days when I used to work 50+ hours a day …
