The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor Review — B
A little girl gets a second chance at life and chooses a different path. Ok, objectively speaking this isn’t all that great, and we’ve seen this a million times before. But hey, I had fun with it which is more than I can say for most other anime this season. It was fun to watch … Continue reading The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor Review — B
Demon Lord 2099 Review —B-
The demon lord revives in the future and becomes a streamer. This was way better than I expected given the concept. Has the ridiculousness, imagination and absurdity which are what make me like anime in the first place. My main complaints are that the shift to the second arc did not work as well as … Continue reading Demon Lord 2099 Review —B-
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Review — C-
Isekai where the main character’s overpowered ability is evaluating other people’s talents. I do enjoy the central concept of this, where it turns the idea of isekai with overpowered abilities on its head a bit by pointing out it’s actually much more effective to lead a team of multiple people with various talents than to … Continue reading As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Review — C-
Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii Review — B
Girl dates a nutjob. The thing I like the most about this show is how crazy it is. It’s basically shoujo romance meets its logical conclusion: normal girl dates someone she definitely shouldn’t and the audience has the expectation that he’ll grow and mature and they’ll be happy together. But then what makes this show … Continue reading Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii Review — B
Negative Positive Angler Review — B-
Fishing! I was worried this would become a sports show but I didn’t need to. It’s all about the characters. And it shows fishing but it’s not particularly in a competitive way— just people enjoying their hobby together. Solid show, although it never really wowed me. Storytelling – B – Consistent and interesting. Voice – B … Continue reading Negative Positive Angler Review — B-
