I recently read second Simpsons Treehouse of Horror comic collection and I might have read it at a slightly wrong time of year, but I really enjoyed it. It has some classic comics and it's a really well put together book! #thesimpsons #treehouseofhorror #simpsonscomics #book #comic

I recently watched Only Yesterday, by Studio Ghibli and it's a wonderful film of two different, but perfectly matched and equally great parts. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/06/24/o... #onlyyesterday #studioghibli #anime #film #movie

I just read Abroad in Japan, by Chris Broad and it's a somewhat up and down, but ultimately funny and engaging recounting of a decade spent in Japan. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/19/a... #abroadinjapan #nonfiction #book #chrisbroad

I watched King Kong vs. Godzilla recently (the original Japanese version) and it's just tons of fun! Godzilla and Kong made for a good match up! See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/18/k... #kingkongvsgodzilla #godzilla #kingkong #toho #film #movie

I just finished Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club for the Switch and it's a really nice little game! It's pretty simple and not the longest, but it's also really endearing and full of Peanuts charm. Great for fans of Charlie Brown and the gang! #snoopy&thegreatmysteryclub #peanuts #game #switch

Why are the Oscars always a category on quiz shows? Nobody ever seems to know anything about them.

I watched through the episodes of Old Enough that were (until recently) available on Netflix and it's just a very cute and endearing show. A shame it's not available any more! See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/05/o... #oldenough #tvseries

I recently watched The Tale of Princess Kaguya, by Studio Ghibli and it's so amazing the word "masterpiece" doesn't really cover it. Beautiful in every way. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/t... #thetaleofprincesskaguya #studioghibli #anime #film #movie

I recently finished watching the Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin anime and it's a good adaptation of an amazing game. I prefer the game it was based on, but it's nice to visit that world again. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/04/28/s... #sakunaofriceandruin #anime
