Beyond the Boundary

Posted on August 17, 2014May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

The sword of blood burns as it slides into Akihito, acid. His cry rends the air and swirls the pink hair of his assailant. His chest rises and falls against the blade as he looks at the large, open eyes of the girl that skewered him. He smiles and says, “Be-speckled beauty.” Beyond the Boundary…

Posted on August 3, 2014May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Every so often I come across an anime that I just can’t finish. Sometimes the anime is too violent for my taste; other times it is too silly (read: obnoxious).

Attack on Titan

Posted on June 1, 2014May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Every once in a while an anime will grip me. Attack on Titan left me wanting more after each episode. I heard a fair bit about it, but I was reluctant to give it a watch. I tend to avoid anime that have a lot of hype. Generally hype doesn’t skew my expectations; I watch…
