The Rejection is Strong with this One!     In our household Shippo is known as Mister Cuddles, while Zora is known as Little Miss Independent. She doesn’t ask for cuddles and is usually more content to sit by herself. She does barge into our rooms throughout the day to check on us though, which is about the extent of her showing concern and affection for us. It’s rare for her to want cuddles, usually she’ll only cuddle with you if she gets scared or she thinks that you’re asleep. We’ve been reduced to what we like to call “force cuddling”, which is basically us picking her up as she walks by and giving her cuddles. This is how Rosie has become dubbed as the “Smother Mother”.     Both Zora and Shippo were rescue dogs, and when we first got them they came to us with a lot of problems. One of the main ones was that they were unused to interacting with people. It took Zora nearly a year before she became comfortable being in the same room as people. The f...

    We read a while back that they’re making a live-action adaptation of the hit anime movie “Your Name” by Makoto Shinkai, and all we can think is “Hollywood why are you doing this to us?” Why mess with a good thing?  We’re seriously getting sick and tired of Hollywood taking something phenomenal and deciding to remake it just so they can put their own spin on it. One could almost assume that this is happening because Your Name is now officially the highest-grossing anime film worldwide, having beaten out Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away who’s held the record since 2001.         We hope for the sake of the fans that the studio’s motives are driven by more than just the prospect of the monetary gain, because we’d hate to be stuck with another Dragonball Evolution.  We also hope that they understand that just because something does extremely well elsewhere that it does not mean that that success will carry over to here. There’s ...

  Our Top 10 Horror Anime List : Halloween Edition     Here’s just some of the scariest horror filled supernatural anime that we thought would be perfect to watch on a night such as today’s.

    In the past, for Halloween I always looked at my favourite female superheroes/antiheroes for inspiration like Catwoman, Rogue, Storm, or Raven, but not this year. This year I’m going as the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the World's Greatest Detective, I’m Batman (if only in this comic).     Batman was always my favourite superhero of all time; he didn’t have any special powers, he had the best villains, and he had great sense of justice and detective skills. Also who doesn’t like a dark and brooding hero?   Happy Halloween!      Stay Obsessed ~

Anime Review: Eureka Seven     The Eureka Seven film series Hi-Evolution: Part 1 was just released September 16 2017, with Parts 2 & 3 to follow in 2018 and 2019. From what we understand it is supposed to take place before and during the events shown in the 2005-2006 TV series Eureka Seven. For anyone who was a fan of the original series this is exciting news. Perhaps we will finally get to learn more about our favourite characters and their backstories, and the major historical events that were only hinted at or glossed over. That would be great. Hopefully these new movies will finally give the fans what they’ve been waiting 11 years for.            And for anyone who might be new to anime or just hasn’t heard of Eureka Seven before this, here’s hoping we can change that, because this anime definitely deserves to be on people’s radars. So here we go!      The first thing we have to...

    After the sweltering heat wave we had last week on the East Coast, it’s nice to go outside and discover that Fall has finally arrived! Blessed is the cool breeze. We can finally wear layers and turn off the AC.       If you guys hadn’t already noticed from our previous comic , we’re pretty big fans of the Sci-Fi series called Firefly. While watching the series, the quote “I’m a leaf on the wind watch how I soar!” by the character Wash, was always something that stuck with us. So here’s a little tribute to that. Hope you guys like it. (PS - Mandy really is scared of heights lol)     Stay Obsessed ~ 

    It’s that time of year again, where everyone is filled with a mixture of excitement and dread… it’s back to school time! Well not for us, but for some of you. Glad those days are behind us.     There is always that younger sibling though who can’t bear to be separated from their older sibling, thinking it to be unfair that they get to go to school and make new friends. Not yet realizing just how lucky they are that they get to stay at home. If anyone is wondering what Rosie was like as a child they have to look no further than at Mei from “My Neighbour Totoro” by Studio Ghibli. It’s actually what this comic was inspired by. Whenever we watch it it’s almost like seeing a flashback of our younger days, especially Rosie’s bobble-head and big mouth, which is why she got the nickname Chibi early on 😂     Stay Obsessed ~
