FAQ

Why are you writing a blog?

I graduated without a job and, being a workaholic, decided to set myself a personal project: write a weekly blog about Japan. I love to write and I love Japan, so this seems to be the perfect solution.

When does the blog come out?

Typically, the blog is updated once a week. Sometimes I have to take time off and, if this happens, there will be a very apologetic post.

Why Japan?

I studied History at university so I naturally came across books on Japanese history. It was never something I studied formally so I just picked up a book whenever I had a free moment. Being on the execs for both the university’s Student Cinema and Anime and Manga societies exposed me to a lot of Japanese media (from bad anime series to Battle Royale).

What’s your favourite anime series?

I try to be selective with this list but some of my favourites are From the New World, Psycho-Pass, Kids on the Slope, Full Metal Alchemist and Sengoku Basara.
