It may not be the perfect time for a Christmas episode, but the timing isn’t bad. This season has been consistent when it comes to pushing Hayase and Naoto together. The first season had g...
This show continues to go in interesting directions. There wasn’t a lot in this episode that I would have outright predicted. But it’s definitely been fun seeing how events are playing o...
It’s kind of fun how Nagatoro and Naoto really have turned into a cute (not yet dating) couple already. The feelings for both sides and their interactions just continue to get cuter as the...
Just another great episode this week. It was nice to focus a bit more on Lieselotte and Fiene for a bit. The main heroine and the villainess from the original storyline really have become a ...
This visit really did push things forward a good deal. Naoto found out that Nagatoro’s first name is Hayase! For them that’s a big development. A lot of thanks goes to Anetoro for pushin...
This episode continues to hammer home the stakes involved in all this. Obviously, they can’t just let something terrible happen right away. But layers are being added that should keep thin...
The scheduling situation for Nagatoro is creating one interesting benefit. It is satisfying my desire to see what is going to happen next for this show. I presume the releases will settle in...
The whole situation unfolding in this show is honestly really engaging. Things seemed relatively simple when coming out of the previous episode. They must keep Lieselotte from getting turned...
That was certainly an unusual approach to a first episode. Not often that you get a first episode that goes a bit out of order and fragmented like this. Just jumping from one little sequence...
On August 4th 2022, Crunchyroll officially closed the deal to purchase anime retailer Right Stuf. The move dramatically increases Crunchyroll's merchandising options and catalogue of availab...
On July 30th it was announced both through Twitter and at Otakon that Symphogear XV would receive an English subtitled Blu-ray release. There was no official release date given as part of th...

Unexpected news dropped that Spice and Wolf would be getting a new animated project. The announcement dropped on Twitter and the Dengeki Bunko Youtube channel. There were few details about t...
The Macross series, which is known for its Valkyrie VF mecha action, its love triangle subplots, and most importantly, its use of music as a key story element, will celebrate its 40th annive...
An announcement was made for a new anime Pride of Orange which will be arriving in the Fall 2021 anime season. For anyone that happens to be both a fan of anime and hockey, this was a pretty...
It has been a long wait, but a new movie for the Prisma Illya franchise has been announced. The fourth season of the franchise aired back in 2016 with the Oath Under Snow movie airing in 201...
An absolute tragedy struck the anime industry last night. As reported by NHK (Japan’s national news agency) and later by Anime News Network, a fire was set at Kyoto Animation’s 1st Studi...

I’m kind of surprised that the end of 2022 has already arrived. The end of this year kind of crept up on me to the point where suddenly it was time to write about my top 10 shows of the ye...
Winter has of course not crept on me in terms of the weather. But I’ve had my hands full, and the end of the Fall season did actually catch me by surprise. Fall was such a wild season that...
It was clear for a while that Fall was going to be a huge season. But as time has passed that certainty has only gotten strengthened. Tastes will always determine whether a season is minor o...
Now that winter has finally ended (seriously my weather has been nuts) it’s nice to look forward to the anime coming this summer. The only downside is having to say goodbye to what has bee...
I can’t say that the Spring season has caught me by surprise since I’ve been looking forward to it for months now. There are a lot of shows coming this season that I’m sure will conten...
Since this is Symphogear’s 10th anniversary I really have wanted to do something to celebrate it. This franchise won me over pretty early on and just kept going strong until it was one of ...
There is something enjoyable about looking back on the past year and seeing the good that came from it. There are great shows that lived up to your expectations or you didn’t see coming. O...
A new year is ahead of us and with it a new season of anime. Winter is truly here and we’re just going to have to stay warm and enjoy some new shows. This time of year is always the busies...
Time keeps moving along and another fresh season of anime is ahead of us. Summer has been an interesting ride in how I’ve whittled down the shows I’ve been watching to a handful. It hasn...
I love it when shows surprise in a positive way. Lycoris Recoil wasn’t a show that I expected a lot from before it started. Part of that was that it was an original show so there wasn’t ...
It is always fun seeing series catch me by surprise. That is definitely the case with Aharen-san wa Hakarenai. This show had a slow first episode to introduce things from the perspective of ...
First impressions aren’t always everything. I find it easy to get swept up in making pretty quick decisions about new shows I’m watching. They either appeal to me pretty quickly or I’m...
How does one review a sequel that is this disappointing? There is no good way to cut away emotions from something like Higurashi Gou and Sotsu. All the more so when my initial statement to p...
It can be difficult at times to be purely objective when reviewing a show. That is all the more difficult with a show like Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S. There’s no ignoring that this...
There is no doubt that the isekai (transported to another world) boom has led to a lot of novels, manga, and anime being created to capitalize on it. Some of those series haven’t been all ...
You always hope that shows both know what they want to be and that they can execute it. That unfortunately doesn’t always work out. Thankfully, Dynazenon completely delivered an enjoyable ...
There are times you hope a show can live up to your expectations even knowing that doesn’t happen very often. Thankfully Bloom lived up to everything I could have hoped for. It was exactly...
Following up on a truly great season after many years is hard. That is the challenge that To Aru Kagaku no Railgun T had to take on. The positive thing however is that it still managed to be...
