The problem is that fantasy subgenres are very nebulous. Not only have the categories of fantasy been coined without proper definition or consistency, but their application sinks into a tag for marketing purposes rather than a helpful classification for a piece of literature, movie, or game. However, here are some helpful definitions of the three main categories of fantasy as I understand them:

Anime is a genre that many people are scared of. It is looked down upon in many circles, and for good reason. Anime has more perversion and ‘mature’ content that you would think possible, so it is dangerous to find one worth watching.
However, I care about story. I care about action scenes. I care about characters and their development.
And it just so happens that, so does a lot of anime. Continue reading →

Her iron legs were shaky, but she seemed to be recovering from… whatever she was to recover from. She tapped her metal head and frowned. Continue reading →
This is a sad blog, for me personally, but I wanted to discuss some failed project that I have tried in the past.
