Steins; Gate

Steins; Gate is a well done, time travel anime! It is also an interactive visual novel. I have never read one of those, but it sounds a lot like a “choose your own adventure” book. Finally, it is known as a science adventure game with a non-linear plot line. This story seems very interesting and…

“The Garden of Words” Poem

This poem is from the anime, “The Garden of Words” by Makoto Shinkai, a beautifully done film with excellent art work. I love the Tanka poem that was used in it. Below is the English translation of the poem, but, because it was originally in Japanese, the number of syllables in each line is not…
