Random Musings on Given’s First Episode

Is Given going to be like Orange, where you discover why the anime is called what it is at the end...? After reading a comment from Prattle that said he didn't find much coverage of Given and really liking the first episode (even if it is coming in at the lower end of my rankings -...

Summer 2019 First Impressions: The Final Stretch

I don't think I have any snarky puns for the post title anymore.Previously, I watched Sacred Beasts, Astra, Maou-sama Retry! and UchiMusume. The post after that had Fire Force, Dr Stone, Granbelm and Ensemble Stars. I'll be skipping the recap of DanMachi (I saw s1 at the start of the Spellbook's existence!), so then it's Arifureta, Cop Craft, DanMachi,...

Summer 2019 First Impressions: Hot Blood and Even Hotter Spirits

Geddit? "Hot Spirits"? Senku in Dr Stone wants to make brandy?...Okay, my jokes are getting more terrible as I continue these summer premieres...Previously, I watched Sacred Beasts, Astra, Maou-sama Retry! and UchiMusume. This post has Fire Force, Dr Stone, Granbelm and Ensemble Stars. I'll be skipping the recap of DanMachi (I saw s1 at the start of the...

Summer 2019 First Impressions: One Demon Lord Too Many

Turns out I didn't need to worry - Funimation and my regional service are together again and providing less buffering than Crunchyroll.This post contains Sacred Beasts, Astra, Maou-sama Retry! and UchiMusume. Next up is Fire Force, Dr Stone, Granbelm and Ensemble Stars. I'll be skipping the recap of DanMachi (I saw s1 at the start of...

Demon Slayer Corps: Kimetsu no Yaiba 10 – Being Susamaru is Suffering

More like "Being Tanjiro is suffering"...if you're a few episodes ahead, I think you'll know why. I have some good news: Ply was able to bring himself back to the collab. I'll let him speak for himself when it's his turn again (if he wants to), though, since we've all got things we're dealing with....

Looking Back on Spring 2019

Again, I've forgotten to go back and recap my season until it's too late... Spring 2019 was pretty great for me, so I still don't quite understand rumblings this was a terrible season. At this point, you know the drill: best to worst. I'm still missing a few episodes so I'll put down my episode...

Hyping Up Summer 2019

It feels like an eternity since I did the last one... The Usual Spiel If a show doesn’t appear here, it may show up if it gets favourable ratings before I begin the summer 2019 season. Bold is Crunchyroll, underlined is Funimation (or my local sublicensor) and strikethrough is locked behind the paywall at Sentai/HiDive...

Demon Slayer Corps: Kimetsu no Yaiba 6 – 7 – Damsels in Distress and Confronting Cool Villains

We're catching up, somehow... Although Astral's in hospital because of reasons I want him to explain, Ply mysteriously dropped out on us, citing being "in dying mode" as the reason why. That's why I've got both episodes. Context: I told Astral he should tell his readers why he's not been blogging. He's apparently been in...
