Another day, another One Piece feature. This time I took a look at One Piece's use of music, which has really shone since Whole Cake Island. I've always enjoyed anime music, so seeing One Piece lean so heavily into its music is pure catnip for me. And I'll take any opportunity I can get to … Continue reading Crunchyroll Feature-The Special Way One Piece Uses Music to Enhance Its Stories

Crunchyroll Feature: Rimuru’s Most Powerful Skill is Friendship
For my latest Crunchyroll article, I took a look at That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and how being a genuinely kind person has taken Rimuru so much farther than his overpowered skills could've.

Pointlessness is Not a Point: The Last of Us Part 2’s Greatest Weakness
Major SPOILERS for The Last of Us Part 2 Vengeance is a hollow goal that only spreads more pain. It's a common theme in fiction of all kinds, and is the central focus of The Last of Us Part 2. There's nothing wrong with exploring a commonly used theme, but the key to making it … Continue reading Pointlessness is Not a Point: The Last of Us Part 2’s Greatest Weakness
