  • My Anime OP/ED 3×3, Celebrating Two Years of the Otaku Exhibition

    I have spent a lot of time thinking about what to do for the blog’s second anniversary. If I thought one year was a fluke, two puts that suspicion to bed. Funnily enough, some people want to hear what I have to say about anime, and even more of them than last year. For that,…

  • My Anime 3×3, or Celebrating a Year of the Otaku Exhibition

    When I began this blog, I didn’t think it was going to last. A month or two, three at the most. I have a tendency of creating big, ambitious plans that I fail to follow through on. Making a blog where I organize all my weird thoughts about anime and games was a neat idea,…

  • A Note About the Otaku Exhibition’s Posts

I submitted the first chapter of my story, The Hands of Time, and thought, “well, the people reading my blog probably like my writing, so they might like…

  • A Notice About The Otaku Exhibition’s Reviews

    This notification will not be a surprise to you if you’ve read my review on Mushoku Tensei, in which my first impressions were mostly positive. The first couple of episodes are mostly harmless, though it soon become an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but with the predator as the hero. After I…

  • Introduction to the Otaku Exhibition

    If you’re here already, that probably means that you have an interest in anime, games, writing, or most likely all three. That’s great, and it means you’re certainly in the right place. The Otaku Exhibition is a project designed to share analysis and discussion of a lot of things, and geeky passions of mine like…
