NANA – Anime Playlist

If, like me, you’re a fan of the classic anime NANA – there was very good news indeed this week.  After years of being unavailable, HiDive will start streaming it next Thursday (22nd of April)!

My wife and I have already decided we’ll be watching it regularly, as our schedule allows.  Haven’t seen it since it left Netflix oh-so-many years ago, can’t wait to see it again!

Anyhow, that means it’s a fine time for another edition of Anime Playlist!

Hit the jump and get ready to rock!

Plans revealed! – Winter 2021 – Week 11


I almost titled this week’s post “Endgame“, but that’s not an easy word to use lightly nowadays… Right or wrong, Avengers: Endgame loaded it with baggage and unsubtle connotations. But for Attack on Titan: Final Season and Dr. Stone: Stone Wars it’s definitely suitable.

Hit the jump, and let’s enter the endgame!
