Jacen's Rants
Less structured and more rambly posts
Project Sekai Orientation Headcanons
May 9, 2025
I don't know why this is something that's been on my mind, but I've been thinking about my headcanons for the orientations and identities of the various characters in the Project Sekai franchise. Here's a quick overview of my thoughts and why I think that way.
Read more...OCs Beyond Fanworks
May 6, 2025
A friend recently shared a post discussing OCs. Related to it, I've always found the term "OC" to be a bit confusing outside the context of fanworks.
Read more...IT Pro Tip - Start At Layer Zero
April 25, 2025
This is a story I've told before, but I think it fits well with my IT Pro Tip series. It's pretty short, so I figured it worked better as a rant than a full blog post.

April 13, 2025
Beware of "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!" and "Ave Mujica - The Die is Cast -" spoilers
I've been pretty vocal about my dislike of Ave Mujica. Believe me when I say I really wanted to like it, but it just has way too many issues that I can't ignore.
Despite that, I committed to doing a second reaction post once Ave Mujica finished, and I want to document exactly why I hate it so much. So, I'll be chronicling my thoughts and writing my reaction to my second watch of each episode.

March 22, 2025
Beware of "Hanebado" spoilers
I hate Hanebado.
That's not something I say lightly. I've watched a lot of garbage anime, and the list of shows I can say I legitimately disliked, much less hated, is very short. With that in mind, what could possibly be so bad about Hanebado that I felt the need to dive deeply into the details of exactly why I hate it? Let's jump into it.

February 2, 2025
I had some concerns about Bowman Gray even before NASCAR announced that the Clash would be moving there for 2025. However, by the time we finished Saturday's heat races, I was 100% sure that NASCAR should never go to Bowman Gray again.

Beware of "BanG Dream!" spoilers
Since my last Ave Mujica post, the anime has decided to once again go off the deep end with its pacing.

January 24, 2025
The MX-5s generally put on the best show on any given race weekend. I think they're a great example of "more horsepower does not mean more better". The racing is extremely close, and the draft is extremely important, meaning last-lap passes and close finishes are the norm. So, what better way to kick off Daytona week than with a race with the MX-5s?

An excerpt from Discord on a random thought I had about the Project Sekai April Fools band shuffle.
Read more...An Ave Mujica 3 Episode Rule Rant
January 20, 2025
Beware of "Ave Mujica - The Die is Cast -" spoilers
I do not subscribe to the 3 episode rule. There are plenty of anime that take longer than that to actually click. With that said, I'm excited to announce that Ave Mujica does actually pass the 3 episode rule. Barely.
