What I've been up to!

the Otaku Central Podcast I find solace in all my podcast episodes being about random things, primarily about what I’ve been up to. I constantly repeat myself in these episodes, but simultaneously, I feel like I say something different than the last. It’s quite a strange feeling. The episode you’re about to listen to is an import from ‘Anchor,’ where I used to post my podcasts previously. A…

Something's got to change, let's start with Isekai

the Otaku Central Podcast I mean, let’s be real here. Every Isekai nowadays all follow a similar style and to me that just shows a lack of creativity as everyone and their parents try their hardest to capitalize on a genre that has become quickly overused and oversaturated. This new ‘norm’ is something we’ve all been desensitized to and it’s honestly a little disappointing. Original post found…

Rambles, Rambles and even more.

the Otaku Central Podcast Sometimes, the best way to get something off your chest is to talk to someone. I decided to record it and throw it up as a podcast episode. Why did I do that? Why did I think anyone would be remotely interested in listening to some random person on the internet ramble about random things? I know that no one is remotely interested and that I’m just talking to myself.…

Anime: What’s wrong with anime?

Anime: What’s wrong with anime?

the Otaku Central Podcast So this has been something I wanted to rant about for a long time now. After watching all the anime I wanted to watch for the Summer 2021 season. I discovered something that I just do not like in the world of anime. Now what is that? You might ask. The title of this blog is a dead give away, yes ladies and gents, today’s episode is about the length of episodes but my…

Comedy Anime - What makes a good comedy.

the Otaku Central Podcast, episode one. "Comedy Anime - What makes a good comedy."

the Otaku Central Podcast Why hello there, Alex (oocentral) here with something different. This right here is an opinion piece written by myself on a topic anime-related. The subject of today’s blog post is “Comedy Anime: What makes a good comedy.” Many things make a good comedy, all of which differ from person to person. What I like in comedy anime may be different from yours, for example. So I…

Gingitsune | Worth Watching?

Gingitsune | Worth Watching? #Anime

Gingitsune is a simple slice of life fantasy story that conveys the life of Makoto Saeki and her encounters with Gintaro. The duo often works together because of Makoto’s circumstances of being unable to accurately tell fortunes. This is a problem as most Sekai priestesses are proficient in the art of fortune telling. Luckily, Gintaro serves as her helping hand as the duo are able to serve their…

Witch Craft Works | Worth Watching?

Witch Craft Works | Worth Watching? #Anime

Story In a world with two warring witch guilds, the Workshop Witches and the more evil Tower Witches, our main hero is to be protected by a very strong Workshop Witch. The typical story of a powerless protagonist becoming a strong hero is overdone and things that happen throughout this story is synonymous with the plot of a rising hero.

Although, the plot it something we’ve all seen before, the…

Noragami | One of my favourite #Anime

Noragami | One of my favourite #Anime

Noragami shines with its own charms on various terms. For instance, we have a young girl who is selfless, brave, and eager to help others in need. She puts others before herself and her actions often speak louder than words. Despite her life being seemingly changed forever, she doesn’t blame anyone for it but rather hopes to use her new abilities to continuously help others. This brings her in…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. | Seem Familiar?

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. | Seem Familiar? #Anime

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is the type of show where you’d come in expecting what you’ll get. The thought of ‘typical romance with a cute middle school girl’ is what most people will come into mind. And you would be right. This show is about a middle school girl named Inari Fushimi, a clumsy, and innocent character and her classmate, Koji Tanabashi. In essence, this show is what a classic shoujo…

Seitokai Yakuindomo* | #Anime Review

Seitokai Yakuindomo is an amalgamation of what every young healthy male will dream of if they decide to attend school. After all, it’s where Takatoshi Tsuda goes after eating breakfast every weekday. At school, there’s the student council composed of three female students. Their presence is a like a tranquility to the busy and stressful life of any student seemingly on the outside. Yet behind…

Gin no Saji 2nd Season | The Second Season!

Gin no Saji 2nd Season | The Second Season! #Anime

The protagonist, Hachiken, is where the story shines the brightest. He is rebellious, depressed, the epitome of the angst-filled teenager. Hachiken looks down on the activities of his peers; he finds the work tiresome and disgusting. The notion of cleaning a pig’s cage or cutting apart an animal for food feels degrading and inhumane. But he matures. He does not learn to enjoy these activities,…

Space☆Dandy | A Great #Anime

Space☆Dandy | A Great #Anime

Space Dandy follows an episodic format. There is absolutely no continuity in Space Dandy. Zero. The main characters might die at the end of an episode and then it will casually roll the credits before showing them alive and healthy in the next episode. Which means the character development is essentially slim to none. Dandy and the rest aren’t characters that you will ever find yourself…

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova | Worth Watching?

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova | Worth Watching? #Anime

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova, might be a series that people would sway their heads away at first. The idea is hardly original as demonstrated in previous sci-fi war theme series such as Strike Witches, Tactical Roar, Blue Submarine No. 6, and Full Metal Panic. Potential viewers for the series might also sway their heads away as lead director Seiji Kishi is in charge of this adaptation.

T…

Gundam Build Fighters |#Anime Review

It’s no Gundam SEED — which you know is my favourite all time mecha Anime from the Animation Studio “Sunrise” but it’s a close second in my books!

Story The overall story is pretty simple: Sei Iori is a Gundam fanboy who sucks at Gunpla battling so he teams up with a mysterious boy named Reiji to compete in Gunpla fighting as a team to win the world championship. While the story itself seems…

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren | #Anime Universe

During the light-hearted episodes, things are generally okay. There’s plenty of the same chemistry between the characters and it’s always neat to see how Rikka and Dekomori will turn ordinary things into something fantastical. The episodes that focus on Dekomori and Nibutani are actually some of the series’ strongest and, thankfully, they receive a lot more focus than they did in the first…
