For my latest feature, I took a look at Re:Zero's greatest strength: Subaru's development. Re:Zero's current season has been consistently excellent, easily on par with the best of the first. I always love writing these kinds of character pieces, and I hope you all have as much fun reading it as I did writing it! … Continue reading Crunchyroll Feature-How Subaru Learned to See Other People

Crunchyroll Feature-Khun is the Anti-Hero Bam Needs in Tower of God
For my latest CR feature, I took a look at Khun's role in Tower of God, and how the nature of the Tower's challenges makes having a schemer like him on your side a necessity. Tower of God has consistently impressed me with its understanding of how to write an engaging shonen, so I strongly … Continue reading Crunchyroll Feature-Khun is the Anti-Hero Bam Needs in Tower of God
Crunchyroll Feature-With the Wano Arc, One Piece is Finally Nearing its Endgame
For my latest CR feature, I returned to One Piece to write about Wano's significance in the broader story. Weird as it is to imagine, One Piece might just be ending soon(ish).

Crunchyroll Feature-How Tower of God’s Top-Notch Atmosphere Makes the Show
For my latest Crunchyroll feature (I know this post is two weeks late, blame forgetfulness and law school) I took a look at Tower of God's use of atmosphere to hook the audience in its first episode.

Crunchyroll Feature-Why In/Spectre’s Kotoko Would Make A Perfect Lawyer
For my latest article on Crunchyroll, I use my experience as a law student to look at why Kotoko's skills as a goddess of wisdom would translate just as well into the practice of law. Kotoko's a fun character to write about, and the fact that she's actually going to law school is just icing … Continue reading Crunchyroll Feature-Why In/Spectre’s Kotoko Would Make A Perfect Lawyer
Crunchyroll Feature-Why KONOSUBA’s Cast is the Perfect Adventuring Party
For my latest Crunchyroll feature, I took a look at why Konosuba's cast is actually a group of master adventurers (with a lot of tongue in cheek). It's a little different from what I usually write, and it was fun to practice something a little different. Read the full article on Crunchyroll!
Crunchyroll Feature-The Most Powerful Weapons in In/Spectre are WORDS
My latest Crunchyroll feature is taking a look at this season's In/Spectre and how it shows what the right words at the right time can accomplish. In/Spectre has great dialogue, and it's a joy to write about how well the anime incorporates it into the plot. Read my words about In/Spectre's words on Crunchyroll!
Crunchyroll Feature – One Piece’s Valuable Lesson on Being True to Yourself
Now that I'm back at Crunchyroll, here's my first article of the year for them! Even with the anime and manga in the middle of Wano, Whole Cake Island's message about being honest about who you are has always stuck with me. Three characters have to learn this lesson, and all of them are better … Continue reading Crunchyroll Feature – One Piece’s Valuable Lesson on Being True to Yourself
