The Return of the Descendants

The Descendants are back! With the threat of Maeve and her armies, the superheroes of Earth are preparing in every way possible; from seeking out the scattered artifacts revealed by Avalon to tapping the captured tools of their foes like the Yellow World fragments and especially the Four books. But the villains aren’t going to wait around themselves: Simon Talbot makes a big move while Liedecker takes a new tact: running for mayor of Mayfield!

New Ere Fiction

Runebreaker isn’t the only tale from the World of Ere. And while the OG of Ere is coming back in a big way, so are other stories: Strawberries and Saltpeter tells the story of how the Grandmother and Grandfather of the Winter Willow Clan met and came together. Not Your Saint George adapts my fanfiction of the same name; a story of how a wannabe knight meets the world’s least threatening dragon in a tale of conartistry and romance. And Finally the Griffinseye Files recalls a short story I once wrote about a fantasy James Bond working for the secret group working to maintain the Thirteen Nations Accord.

The Worst Anime I have Ever Seen

  By

So during the four months I was living in motels looking for a home, my only solace was the free high-speed wi-fi and the various free streaming services. I’ve watched a lot of stuff. I’m even up to date on modern shows I wanted to watch like The Flash, Supergirl, the Librarians, etc.

And I’ve watched a lot of anime. Lots. Like so much anime.

The thing about anime is that it’s a mine field. Saying you’re going to watch some anime is like saying you’re going to watch live action western television: there are so many different genres and styles and brands of humor and drama that you could get anything just picking up a random series. Add in certain proclivities not necessarily in Japanese culture but in the anime and manga culture, and one wrong step and you can be deep in weird-ass panty-sniffing, underaged-girl-obsessed terrible. Even a lot of good or even great shows often have way too much jiggle and fan service.

And if you’re a fan of the medium, you build up a certain tolerance to all that. Otherwise you’ll miss out on some real gems like A Certain Magical Index or Spice and Wolf, … Continue reading
