    This is but a tiny section of a large infographic produced for Gurunavi, to entice people on the joys of the izakaya. It was created by Mr. Papriko. Found via Canvas, where you can view the full image.

  • Westworld

    —

    ,

    Sure, I was already pretty excited to check out Westworld, based on the trailers I’d seen, but I’m definitely happy that after watching the first 2 episodes, it’s even better than I was hoping. Absolutely loving the creepiness of it all, as well as the mystery as to what exactly is going on with the “hosts,”…

  • Now You See Me

    —

    ,

    Up until yesterday, I had no interest in watching this movie, but my wife ended up watching it and then suggested I do the same, and so I did. Turns out this was way more fun to watch than I was expecting. Admittedly, I had barely paid any attention to it when it originally came…

  • The Super Dimension Fortress Macross

    —

    ,

    I recently noticed that the Robotech series from the 80s was added to Netflix (in Canada), and so I thought I’d start watching it. I have memories of really liking the series back when I was kid, but also that I had barely watched any of it, probably because it was only available on cable,…

  • Queen Millennia

    —

    This is an old Leiji Matsumoto series from the 80s that I somehow had never heard of, despite the fact that in the US it had been released alongside the 70s Captain Harlock series, which is one of my favorite series of all time (albeit I watched it in its French incarnation, as Albator). I’ve…

  • Mob Psycho 100

    —

    This show is batshit insane. It aired this past summer in Japan, but I just came across it now. I watched the first episode the other day, and I do plan on watching the rest. The basic premise is that the main character (“Mob”) has psychic powers, and is being used by another character (who…

  • Izetta: The Last Witch

    —

    This is a series that just started this month, but that I hadn’t included in my list of shows I wanted to watch. I’ve seen the first 2 episodes that have aired so far, and although I’m not absolutely sold on it yet, I do quite like it. It’s set in an alternate WW2-like history (bordering…

  • Dimension W

    —

    This is a series that aired in Japan at the start of the year, and I just happened to come across. I’ve watched the first 3 episodes, and absolutely love it. It’s a sci-fi story that takes place in a near-future where energy is supplied to the world thanks to the discovery of an energy-rich…
