Moonlight Densetsu – Sailor Moon
https://ragashingo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MoonlightDensetsuShort.mp3 The first song I can remember as being from an anime has to be the english version of Sailor Moon’s “Moonlight Densetsu”. Sailor Moon, itself, was, back then, this strange cartoon with super powered girls fighting scary monsters while trying to live out their normal lives. There were awesome elemental…
Episode 6 of Bunny Girl Senpai Might Have The Most Wholesome Twist Ever
I’ve been watching back through Bunny Girl Senpai and just re-finished Tomoe Koga’s arc. I’d forgotten how good it was. Both in the way it played out but I’d really forgotten the way it ended! I gasped when the endgame started and couldn’t help the big smile on my face as the show kept pilling on more and more happiness. For the last three episodes, Sakuta has been…
2022 Was A Great Year for Anime
2022 was a great year for anime. I don’t think I’ve experience a year this good since the phenomenal 2018 which gave us shows like: A Place Further Than The Universe Violet Evergarden Revue Starlight Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai SSSS.Gridman Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms What 2022 gave us was both some wildly popular mainstream shows, and a fair number of excellent shows…

Macross Frontier Episode Guide 28: Labyrinth of Time
After more than a year since its Japanese release, I was finally able to see the Macross Frontier Short Film: Labyrinth of Time. And I really enjoyed it. This story primarily follows Ranka Lee. In large part because with Alto Saotome lost in space and Sheryl Nome still in a coma, she is the only one of Macross Frontier’s three main characters still active within the camera’s eye. But don’t worry,…
The Thaleniel Guards
Sharp sounds of clashing metal ring out beneath one of the many tall, oil burning street lamps that intermittently light Thaleniel’s dark, southern warehouse district. Bathed in orange-tinted light, two figures, clearly engaged in combat, move and circle each other. They trade slashes, thrusts, blocks, and parries as their swords meet again and again. Eventually, one of the combatants gains an…
