Angel's Anime Rating Guide

Years ago, when I installed the Contempo template for the first time, I managed with some brute force tactics and a lot of duct tape, to get the header centered. At the time, It took quite a bit to make it happen and there was a lot of pain involved. The reason for all the pain is that Contempo has multiple headers and the template switches between them depending on if you're scrolling, or are on the main site, or on a post or on a static page. Years ago, I didn't really document what was involved, I just threw everything at it to see what would stick. Now, years later, I don't feel like messing with my old code. Recently, I decided to revisit this issue. After some trial and error on one of my non-anime related sites, I have some basic CSS that will work with out-of-the-box Contempo . If you've heavily customized your theme as I have, your mileage will vary. The coding actually wasn't as complicated this time around thanks to advances in CSS. The necessary code...

I took the opportunity to stream May I Ask For One Final Thing? ... Scarlet has put up with her fiancé’s bullying long enough. Not only is Second Prince Kyle arrogant and crude, but he suddenly called off their engagement during a ball. And if things couldn’t get any worse, he then accuses her of a crime she never committed. Fueled by betrayal, Scarlet unleashes her rage, giving the prince and his nobles a beatdown they’ll never forget.

The series starts with Scarlet having her engagement cancelled at a public event and her former fiancé is standing in the company of another woman -- a pink-haired floozy. Scarlet thrashes everyone at the event including the other woman, who gets the first punch, and saves the last punch for her former fiancé. During the initial beat down of the nobles, Sca...

Recently, I had the opportunity to stream the Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power ... Overshadowed by her saintly sister Flora, plain Carolina seizes a chance to be useful by agreeing to political marriage with a prince rumored to be cruel. But the prince is nothing as expected -- he’s a gentleman, and Carolina feels valued for once in her life. As Carolina blossoms, she discovers a sense of self-worth and a mysterious power, while Flora’s perfect life back home starts to crumble. To say that Carolina and her sister, Flora, don't get along would be understating things quite a bit. As her kingdom's saint and with Carolina not having any affinity for magic, Flora, her mercilessly put Carolina down as useless at every opportunity. When presented with an opportunity to be married off to another kingdom, Carolina jumps at the chance to be away from her sister. With all of the abuse Carolina has suffered, it's no wonder that her self esteem is almost nonexistent. After...

Today, I went to see the latest incarnation of the Resident Evil franchise in the theater... From the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) comes a thrilling -- and terrifying -- reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise. In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos. My niece and nephew took me all the way to New Jersey to see Resident Evil in their fancy theater. We had reclining seats, floors that were not sticky and snuck in McDonalds sandwiches to stretch the food budget. I've seen all of the other movie incarnations of the franchise and although this entry doesn't adhere very strongly with the video game cannon, it was a solid and entertaining entry. I cheated a bit and looked up some spoilers, so, I knew more or less what to expect, but, even with the warning, there ...

I watched Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra ... In Eternal Nations, a fantasy strategy game where players manage an empire, Takuto Ira is a legendary player who sits atop the leaderboard. Takuto goes unconscious during a hospitalization and awakens on the continent of Idoragya, which looks just like the game. Takuto meets Sludge Atou, his favorite unit in the game, and decides to build Mynoghra, an evil empire, in this isekai apocalypse anime. I have a soft spot for villains that are the main character. The story revolves around Takuto, who as the villain, has to create his evil domain, Mynoghra, from scratch. With his trusty right-hand woman, Atou, by his side, Takuto, stakes out his territory and quietly amasses an army of evil people.
