Anime List Other Posts to Crow About

Other Posts to Crow About – 2018 Week 19 Edition

Nineteenth week of 2018 edition!

This is a Crow’s eye view of the posts that caught my attention this week. Typically, they’ll be posts that celebrate some aspect of anime, like strong characters, intricate plots, or amazing worlds.

There are only two rules:

  • I have to find the site to read it. I publish a list of the sites I review every week, so please do look for your site! If you don’t see it, I’d love for you to mention your site in the comments. 
  • ​Your post had to have been published during the last seven days (or so)

Remember, you can find a list of the sites I check every week here

There’re a lot of good posts in the anime space. I hope this post helps you find some of them!

Jerem’s Anime Sanctuary

I Can’t Watch Anime Like I Used To.

What draws us to anime? Will we always enjoy it as much as we do now? What impact does peer pressure have? Or the lack of someone to talk to about anime? In some ways, worrying about this is as normal about any worrying about the loss of interest in any other hobby. But because anime’s an art form, the question seems to be more weighty. Even though I have considerably more time than most fans to have formed an opinion, this post from Jerem’s Anime Sanctuary gave me a lot to think about — and reminded me what it was like to be young! Well, younger…

KAWAIIPAPERPANDAS

Sunday Spotlight: Is a Lie within a Lie a Truth or a Lie?

I don’t want to play favorites. There are so many interesting articles every week, published on so many anime blogs, that I want to spread the spotlight around. But, dang it, KAWAIIPAPERPANDAS had to go and write another praiseworthy article a week after being featured in my last Other Posts to Crow About, this time about one of my favorite characters — Magane Chikujouin — from one of my all time favorite series — Re:CREATORS. And it’s an enthralling post about how Chikujouin’s character and power make her so attractive (in a deadly way). How could I not want to bring your attention to it?

Let’s Talk Anime

Bakugou’s Gauntlets Tutorial

Cosplay’s an important part of anime culture. It’s a great way for fans to express their interests and to share their love of anime with others in a tangible way. Folks who can cosplay amaze me, if for no other reason than for me, it’s on par with acting. Even more impressive to me are the cosplayers who make their own costumes and props! This post from Let’s Talk Anime describes creating Katsuki Bakugou’s iconic gauntlets from My Hero Academia. It’s a fascinating look at a creative process.

The Lily Garden

In Defense of Uma Musume – Pretty Derby, Moe Anthropomorphism, and Homages

We’ve seen battleships as cute (moe) girls. We’ve seen demons and vampires and even computer operating systems as cute girls. Now, with Uma Musume – Pretty Derby, we see horses as  cute girls as horses. I’ve written before how I wasn’t convinced I would even watch this show. Before reading this article from The Lily Garden, I’d already admitted to myself that I look forward to each new episode. But after reading this article, I’m just going to have to admit: the show’s not only beautiful to look at, it’s detailed and well done. What am I talking about? You’ll need to see the article to find out!

Lita Kino Anime Corner

Beautiful But Ugly | This Ugly But Beautiful World.

When I visited Lita Kino Anime Corner this week to look for interesting posts, I saw the shot of two characters and knew I’d seen them before. But I couldn’t place them! Then I saw the anime’s title: This Ugly Yet Beautiful World. That brought a smile to my face! It’d been years since I saw that series. Even as I considered it, though, I remembered having a mixed reaction to the series overall. And do you know what? This post from Lita Kino Anime Corner captured my reaction exactly! If you’ve seen the series or if you haven’t, this is an interesting read.

The Spooky Red Head

7 FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT ERINA FROM FOOD WARS

I’m going to stop saying that making interesting lists is hard. The anime blogging community comes up with so many interesting lists so often, that they’ve changed my mind! Well, even if making such a list really is hard, but they make it look easy. Have you seen the series Food Wars from the beginning? If you have, then you’ll remember how insufferable Erina Nakiri was in the early episodes. If you had told me I’d feel sorry for her at the end of the previous season and be cheering for her in this season, there’s no way I would have believed you. What a difference great characterization makes! This post from The Spooky Red Head gives you some interesting facts about Erina. After reading them, you might feel like cheering for her, too!
