So, we’ve finally made it to the last episode. Definitely gives the feeling of the summer season being over. It wasn’t a surprise that this episode ends without a firm conclusion on thin...
It took me a while to decide how I felt about this episode. A lot was handled in this episode, and it set up a final showdown for us. In some ways though it does feel like the status quo fro...

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...

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...
