About
Hello, friend!
The name is Banjo, an avid anime reviewer, analyzer, and writer. While I haven’t been with anime my entire life, my newfound passion for the medium, mixed with my literary prowess, has given me something special. And that is my hobby of critically looking at all-things anime. As of 03/31/2019, I’ve crafted over 300 separate reviews, and that number will continue to rise in the years to come!
Within my blog, you’ll find the reviews and analyses of every single anime that I complete. You’ll also definitely find references and talk about Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, my favorite anime of all time. I love that show beyond what words can describe.
At the same time, there will be other articles that I publish that still relate to anime but go into a lot more depth about particular topics or a specific subject relating to the medium. Hopefully you’ll still find these pieces fun to read, too.
Beyond that, I’m just a regular guy who loves his family, his friends, and the wonderful people who have been able to help me get to this point in my professional writing career. I’m extremely appreciative of everyone who has supported me, cheered me on, or otherwise helped me in making me the kind of writer and, more importantly, the kind of person that I am today.
While I am still always looking to improve myself, I’m humbled by all the kindness I’ve received thus far. I promise that I will continue to do whatever I can to make myself the best reviewer anime has ever seen!
So sit back, relax, and read some of my stuff. I immensely enjoyed writing them all, and I know you’ll enjoy reading them just as much.
Forever grateful,
Banjo :3

Hey there. I’ve recently started reading your essays of Yuri kuma arashi and they really helped me understand the symbolism. However, one thing still weights heavily on me : What exactly does the bears eating girls represent ? I know it’s supposed to be a stand in for sexual acts but it doesn’t make sense since the girls are treated by everyone to be dead and dissappear completely from the story. It just feels really problematic to have the bears(lesbians) protrayed as unrepentant killers with no remorse.

Hi BanjotheBear! I don’t mean to get all flowery on you, but when I first stumbled upon your website, it was after hours of scouring the internet for any commentary or reviews regarding one of my favorite shows Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu! I found your essay and I was literally so elated and happy that someone took the time to analyze, critique, and review such a worthy anime. Ever since I found your website, I decided to make my own website and write about the things that I love. I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to create my first website, something I never had the courage to do until I saw your beautiful essays. I’m not as skilled as you, in writing, but with much practice I know I can get better! You’re truly amazing! Like I love your website so much! I’m so happy to hear that you’re doing great in your writing career. Thank you for being an inspiration and thank you for being amazing!

Hi there, Joleinn!
I apologize about getting to your comment nearly a month too late. I’m a busier person than usual, so I tend to be slow when it comes to my writing and for getting back to my messages.
But I’m here now! :3
> Thank you for being an inspiration and thank you for being amazing!
I’m extremely humbled by such thoughtful words.
It makes me glad to read that my piece on Rakugo was to your liking and that the entirety of my website has been a fun experience to traverse. Most importantly, I am oh so proud that I could inspire you to pursue the challenges and the opportunities in your own life. I cannot say that that happens often, so I would like to thank you in turn for allowing me to affect you in such a positive manner.
Seriously, this message of yours is one of the kindest I have ever had the pleasure to receive. Trust me when I say that I’ll never forget it for as long as I shall live.
And you’re absolutely right. With practice and determination, nearly anything is possible, so I’m confident that you can become an amazing writer in your own right in due time. We all start somewhere — including myself — meaning there’s no better moment than *right now* to make your dreams a reality.
Thank you so much, Joleinn, for your message. The happiness you have for my successes, the enthusiasm you show for my work, and the sincerity with which you deliver it all. None of it is lost on me.
I will do my utmost best to continue making you and my other fans excited from this side of the Internet. You can count on it. 🙂
P.S. Link me that new blog/site of yours when you get the chance!
