Forward-Facing Nostalgia: Ogiue Maniax Status Update for April 2025

Spring Anime is here! Between Gundam GQuuuuuuX, Kowloon Generic Romance, and Anne Shirley, it feels like we’ve got lots of shows that touch on nostalgia but aren’t necessarily nostalgia-grab shows. I just wish these anime could appear on more than one platform, so fans can support the ones they prefer. Exclusivity is a pain in the ass.

Thank you to my Patreon supporters. With the season in full swing, I hope you’re doing well, and haven’t been too thoroughly bamboozled by April Fools.

I’ve also been thinking of enabling fan donations on WordPress, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. Any feedback is appreciated.

Blog Highlights from March

A brief review of the coolest Mechagodzilla figure ever, followed by my thoughts as to why I like this Showa Era design so much.

My thoughts on this year’s hololive fes concert.

I think the portrayal of Megatron and who he is at his core is especially effective.

Kio Shimoku

At last, my thoughts on the Kio artbook in all its glory!

And here are the tweets.

Closing

This past week, VTuber Nanashi Mumei of hololive English Promise announced that she will be graduating from hololive primarily due to throat-related health issues. I don’t know if I’m going to write anything about her in particular, but I do have a post partially about her that I had been saving up. Expect to see it in the coming days!
