Good Night World Review — B+
A family plays an MMO. It’s hard to review this without spoilers, but wow does this not go where you are expecting in the first couple episodes. I thought I would get Sword Art Online but instead I got Serial Experiments Lain. The brutal alienation between people, the confusion between digital and reality, the loneliness. … Continue reading Good Night World Review — B+
Bang Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! Review — A-
Cute girls with problems play in a band. First, I want to say how much I appreciate how the number of exclamation points in the title is an important plot point. Second, you all need to watch MyGO. You know me— I hate idols and this entire genre, so if I’m saying it’s good, it’s … Continue reading Bang Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! Review — A-

Rental Girlfriend S2 + S3 Review — F
Someone please put this story out of its misery already. I actually kind of liked the first season! It was dramatic and emotional and you could never guess what would happen next. But when season two came around, it lost the fun factor. Season three even attempted to tell some half-assed serious sob story. What … Continue reading Rental Girlfriend S2 + S3 Review — F
TenPuru Review — C-
Guy moves in a temple with cute girls. I love this manga, but the anime just didn’t do it for me. I think what makes the manga special is that the art is so amazingly horny. In the anime the art is bland. But honestly the story is fairly generic. Storytelling – C – It was … Continue reading TenPuru Review — C-
Undead Girl Murder Farce Review — D+
Not at all what I expected from the first episode… I wish this had focused on the main characters rather than having a series of arcs involving different semi-historical characters… I was quite intrigued from the first episode, but then lost all interest as it went on. Maybe that says more about me than the … Continue reading Undead Girl Murder Farce Review — D+
Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence Review — C+
They are very cute. This was honestly pretty good, just not my genre as everyone has likely realized by now. I spent most of the time watching this trying to figure out what the hell is going on with this religion. I still have absolutely no idea. The saints are identified while they’re still alive, … Continue reading Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence Review — C+
