Finally, some time to make more space for...stuff... As I head into what will inevitably be a very tumultous final few months of my schooling, ever...again...and with the Funimation cut having come and gone, there was no way I was ever going to be able to finish everything I ever watched on Funimation. I've been... Continue Reading →
The Quest for an Anime About Hacking Continues (AKA Summer 2022 First Impressions: Yurei Deco)
Details can be found in this post. It's said there's an anime or manga about everything on occasion and that seems to be right to some degree...except for hacking/coding, which ends up being massively sensationalised to the point most of the time it's depicted, it's not particularly realistic. (Plus translation/interpreting, but that's 1) extremely meta... Continue Reading →
Summer 2022 First Impressions: Tokyo Mew Mew New
I had my reservations about this series, but since it's a reboot and not a sequel (...so far...), it should be safe...right...? If I could make this post incoherent screaming of something to the effect of "Magical girls rule!", then I would. However, you want more words from me than that...so if you've seen the...

Summer 2022 First Impressions: Phantom of the Idol
This anime kicks off the summer 2022 season, so check over there for some more notes on this series. Look, HiDive - if you're going to advertise me your newest anime on your front page, at least link to it properly somewhere? I mean, I had to figure out what the link slug for Phantom...

Hyping Up Summer 2022
Here we go again! To be honest, there's a bit to be nervous about...first of all, real life caught up to me, so I'm a few episodes behind with Spy x Family. Secondly, I'm going to cut myself off from Funimation come early October, so summer is my last (legal) chance to watch stuff that... Continue Reading →
Spring 2022 1st Episode Impressions: Paripi Koumei (Ya Boy Kongming!)
Let's get into it! Oof...when I heard Crunchyroll was almost about to lock everything behind a paywall, I thanked my lucky stars I was now able to pay for it, after many years relying on free legal streaming. As of me starting this post, I haven't shelled out for Crunchyroll yet, but if I clean... Continue Reading →
Hyping Up Spring 2022
I...think I'm ready to come back...? Talking with my anime club at their biannual barbeque made me realise something: I've been working through the spreadsheet so long that I'm starting to miss simulcasts. I also have less time on my hands overall now, due to the job I mention in this post. So I'm sitting... Continue Reading →
Hyping Up Winter 2022
Noting how much I've got backlogged, I'm probably going to sit this one out entirely. If we count the rewatches (+ Kekkai Sensen and Beyond) and this upcoming week's ATW (2 eps) from the post I linked in the intro (as of the time of writing) plus the fact I attempted to watch Disappearance of...

(Late…?) Fall 2021 First Impressions: For the Artsy Ones
You might've thought I was gone from seasonal anime for good, after I chose not to catch up to the summer season. Well, you can't keep a good(?) blogger down. No ratings this time. I'm just taking what I'm getting, in an attempt to get back into the swing of things. As promised in this... Continue Reading →
Hyping Up Fall 2021
Welp, after a season's hiatus, I have a list! Note I’m still chipping away at my spreadsheet of over 100 episodes so my hype is low for everything and I’m seriously restricting what I’m considering checking out, but the current 122 episodes (as of the time of writing) is more reasonable than the 130 –...
