Date A Live S5 Review —- B-
More dating. I loved the earlier seasons of this show but it really outwore its welcome. There are just two many girls. They could have easily done without that stupid loli, the idol, the witch, the mangaka, Tohka (I wish) and probably a few others I’m forgetting. It was hard to keep track of everyone, … Continue reading Date A Live S5 Review —- B-
Mahouka S3 Review — F-
I missed this. The new season did not disappoint, bringing back all the greatest hits: We get another year of Serious Adults trying to murder people at the high school sports festival, which features the dumbest most boring games ever invented (and I say this as someone who has played baseball) The high school science … Continue reading Mahouka S3 Review — F-
Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Review — B+
Cute girl failures form an art collective. I quite liked this— it’s a very emotional story, seeing all of the different struggles these people have and how they come together to deal with them. My favorite was the episode they introduced Kuiui which actually made me cry. I was a bit confused by the whole … Continue reading Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Review — B+
Train to the End of the World Review — B
Train journey through a transformed magical world. It’s visually gorgeous and very creative but I felt there wasn’t much there in terms of substance. Which is fine, just I thought it could have been more than it was. The plot is superficial, the characters are quirky but lack depth. Many of the train stops are … Continue reading Train to the End of the World Review — B
KonoSuba – God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World!! S3 Review — B+
Our heroes continue to be pathetic losers. I love this show. Season 3 did not disappoint. Anime comedies often… are not very funny… but konosuba has always had me laughing. It follows a simple formula of coming up with four characters who are complete morons in their own unique ways and just seeing what happens. … Continue reading KonoSuba – God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World!! S3 Review — B+
Sound! Euphonium S3 Review — A-
The band is back. Kind of just amazed they finished this after the tragedy at KyoAni and how many years it’s been. It did not disappoint. And actually managed to come to a proper conclusion (although not one that wraps a bow on everything neatly— all the characters remain true to themselves and continue to … Continue reading Sound! Euphonium S3 Review — A-
Astro Note Review — B-
An alien moves to a shared home. There was a lot to like about this show— stylistically it’s beautiful (and not the typical anime style), the characters are very quirky and don’t go where you expect at all, and the love triangle had an excellent setup. But the last two episodes dropped my opinion drastically… … Continue reading Astro Note Review — B-
An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How To Love Your Elf Bride Review — C+
I… actually liked this anime about elf slavery??? What I most enjoyed about this show is it had some compelling conflicts. The socially awkward guy and the elf who was a slave (she is admittedly the weakest part). That whole arc with betrayal from a friend. The orphan and her quest for revenge. The knight … Continue reading An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How To Love Your Elf Bride Review — C+
Re: Monster Review — C-
Endless power-ups and harem. This one you knew exactly what you were getting and it delivered it. The main character is so powerful! And gets more powerful forever and literally everyone wants to have his babies. Yeah it’s not very good. The show suffered from a lack of any compelling conflict whatsoever and everyone loving … Continue reading Re: Monster Review — C-
Chillin’ in Another World With Level 2 Super Cheat Powers Review — D
Why did I watch this again? Oh right I was drawn in by the cliffhanger at the end of the first episode where the wolf girl transformed into an evil monster and was about to eat a bunch of people. Sadly in episode two the main character tamed her and she became his puppy. Should … Continue reading Chillin’ in Another World With Level 2 Super Cheat Powers Review — D
