Summer 2020 First Impressions: A Supernatural Summer

  Page jumps are geting harder to wrangle as the editor continues to evolve, so I'm skipping them and changing my posts to match. I've also started linking where you can see the anime yourself, although that may only apply to certain regions. The previous post contained: Get Up! Get Live! (TV short) Misfit of...

Looking Forward (?) to Summer 2020

...oof. I seem to have missed a memo that one of my final new rays of hope for the summer 2020 season, Get Up! Get Live!, was a TV short. I did some digging around to see if that news was recent and I was only just playing catch-up, but nope - it's been out...

Sending in Spring 2020

Hey, people! Where'd you take winter 2020? In amongst all the Fate/ stuff, it feels like it's been nothing but Fate/ this entire season and the simulcasts were happening on the periphery...until Iruma-kun came to an end. The people who normally alert me to the end of the season started, for me, about 3 weeks...

A Magical 2019 Pt. I (4th Day of Anime 2019)

This is the yearly rankings post. Just to make it faster for myself, I've left the month that I finished at the end of each entry of these non-simulcast commentary lists. Top (?) 10 Worst Dropped Anime According to My AniList Rating Due to the fact an anime needs a rating to be eligible in...

Looking Back on Summer 2019

Yikes...I almost forgot to wrap up the season again. I've finished all the shows bar Dr Stone, so here's the last impressions of summer 2019. Previous impressions on the season: Summer 2019 First Impressions: One Demon Lord Too Many Summer 2019 First Impressions: The Final Stretch Random Musings on Given’s First Episode Summer 2019 Mid-Season...

Summer 2019 Mid-Season Check-In

Normally I wouldn't do a mid-season check-in, but I've come to realise I don't really know what I love this season anymore since I just watched a few weeks' worth of anime over the past few days... After all my lamenting of being behind in this Demon Slayer collab post, the side effects are starting to...

8 Manga Recs to Resist the Romantic Anime Drought

Inspired by Karandi's lamentation of pure romance series in anime. My recommendation to Karandi in the comments section of the linked post was to read some manga. Not all of these are pure romance, but I'm currently in a bit of a writing slump due to being stuck somewhere between my KyoAni anime for OWLS...

Fruits Basket Another: Children are Not Their Parents

The problem with Fruits Basket: Another is that Takaya still seems to be in love with her old characters… Fruits Basket: Another, as a sequel to an anime (albeit a reboot/continuation) that’s airing right now, is timed to fill a Fruits Basket itch with an artstyle that better resembles what’s on the screen right now....

Spring 2019 First Impressions: Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice (and a Call for Questions!)

This post managed to drop just in time for me to realise we're in need of some celebrations! Hitoribocchi and Yu-no have been covered previously. This post has Fruits Basket, Demon Slayer, We Never Learn and Kono Oto Tomare. Next is Sarazanmai, Carole and Tuesday, Fairy Gone and Midnight Occult Servants. After I'm back, I'll release Rendai Utena...
