I wholeheartedly believe that memes made me more empathetic as a tween. As a kid, I was obsessed with the internet and being on the pulse of the latest trends. Sure, the content on YouTube was entertaining, but I didn't really learn anything about myself by watching The Annoying Orange. Once I got onto social media proper, I began seeing memes that articulated the exact experiences that I'd had. Yes, I've rubbed my eyes for too long and seen colors! Yes, a teacher has responded to me asking, “c…

I know this might be a cold take colder than the arctic, but I love how food looks in anime. Something about the lighting, the preparation, and the overall food vibes in anime put me at ease. I'd say that the unique aesthetic of anime shows and movies are some of the driving forces that draw people, particularly Americans, to them. After all, adult animation made in the United States can be so ugly. I mean, have you seen Big Mouth? Oftentimes, American showrunners and animators care a lot less…

There are so many elements that make Rick and Morty the absolute smash hit show that it has always been. It’s humor is balls to the walls insane and it’s incredibly unique when you compare it to other shows in the adult animation genre.

There's a reason when somebody says they like Avatar, you know they're talking about Avatar The Last Airbender . Even if you ask to clarify “which Avatar," it's just an

I’ll say it; otakus and weebs deserve respect. I may not technically be a weeb, but I’ve always respected the rights of weebs to hang out in the Manga section at Barens and Noble. They should be able to wear schoolgirl outfits in public without getting laughed at and ridiculed out of the Barnes and Noble bathroom. I respect weebs who do not want to even show their face in a Barnes and Noble and prefer the likes of independently owned book retailers. Luckily, we seem to be entering a golden age…

Forget wholesome content and happy memes . Sometimes we all need to scroll through a selection of cringey moments that can only be described as "dumpster fire." From horrible weeb posts to questionable and offensive fashion choices, we've got an awful lot of content that falls into this incredibly cursed category. But sometimes you need to give yourself up to the cringe and just lean in. You know, so we can all feel a bit better about ourselves.

We are living in the golden age of the anime fandom. Long past are the days of weebs being bullied and degraded for their interests in anime series and movies. Now, even the most normal normie has seen at least one piece of anime IP. I went to a high school in Texas that was utterly obsessed with athletic achievement, and even there, most of the guys on the football team watched anime. If you're a weeb, you should hold your head high: Cosplay in public, brandish your favorite characters on your…

Yikes.

Demon Slayer is a popular Japanese manga series by Koyoharu Gotouge, and it's one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2019, a two-season anime television adaptation of the manga called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba was released in Japan and made its way to American audiences via Adult Swim that same year. The story follows protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, a teenager who aspires to become a demon slayer after his family is tragically killed by invading demons, except for his younger sis…
