Final Impressions for Summer 2018

I almost forgot it was time to wrap up another season... Since I've already watched the first episode of Double Decker! Doug and Kirill (if it's October where you are, check here for what I thought of that show) and written up what I want to see for fall 2018 (if it's past September 26th...

Summer 2018 First Episode Impressions (Pt 2)

Reminder this is a continuation of part 1. All notes that apply to it apply here too. Update: Due to a scheduling oversight, this post initially went out about 12 hours ago without a Muhyo and Roji's first impression, even though that's what I held it back for...sorry if you got affected by that. I...

Sending Off Spring 2018

There was way too much good stuff this season, so putting down some final thoughts for each will be pretty hard... Boueibu is still missing an episode due to its delay, plus Nobunaga no Shinobi and Boku no Hero Academia are continuing, but otherwise these should cover the entirety of the show. If not specified,...

Summer 2018 Predictions

Well, both my collabs from last season got extended, so it sure doesn't feel like the summer anime season yet... Reminder that this is from greatest to least hype and if there's something missing from the list, it's probably because it's known to be taken by Amazon or Netflix/it's a subsequent season to something I...

Great Gals From the Anime World

This is somewhat inspired by Lita Kino's post. I've given more than enough lip service to my many, many husbandos, but great female characters are a rarity in comparison. So let's discuss a few I think are "great" and compare/contrast the reasoning... Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury, Sailor Moon Let's start with my favourite female character. Much...

Spring 2018 First Episode Impressions

Since I have the New Year’s resolutions this year, I’m trying to be as forgiving as I can to all newcomers (hence putting a lot of stuff on hold). However, that does mean more to clean up in 2019… HiDive is not letting me get at a few shows, but as a tradeoff watching Crunchyroll...

Spring 2018 Predictions

Here we go again... The bold titles are accessible to me (or will be soon) through Funiroll or other legal means, while the underlined titles are part of the resolution to "vary my genres". (Of course, this is only what I know as of this post. The special debut of Mahou Shoujo Ore made me push...

Sticking Up For a Little Shinobi (and a Little Show)

Nobunaga no Shinobi is a show pretty much nobody’s heard of, but it’s a show that made me more supportive of a lot of things I didn’t know I had support for… Well, it’s known as Ninja Girl and Samurai Master on Crunchyroll, which should explain part of the problem – that licensing name’s just...
