Frieren is old. I love this manga and the anime did not disappoint. Beautiful story, lovingly told. I see so much hate for this show on twitter and I really don’t get it. Yes it’s repetitive— repetition is useful to bring a theme across. Yes Himmel and Frieren never got together— that’s kind of the … Continue reading Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Review — A- →

Rouge likes chocolate. That’s more or less the only coherent part of the plot. Should have just gone all in on lesbians instead of whatever the fuck this was. What a mess. Part of what makes me so disappointed in Metallic Rouge is that the initial episode was promising! The character designs (especially Naomi) are … Continue reading Metallic Rouge Review — D →

Hunting witches. Whenever I watch an episode, I’m always left wondering— why? It’s a smooth production. The battles can be cool. But it feels so hollow. Vaguely mean and despairing. What’s the point? Why should I care? Storytelling – D – All style, little substance. Voice – C – They tried… Characters – D – Weak. … Continue reading The Witch and the Beast Review — D+ →

Like the title says. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this show. It’s the type that takes the stupidity up to 200% and never stops, never looks back. It kept getting more and more ridiculous. The structure is a little repetitive but entertaining enough since it’s so different (for good reason) from everything else— … Continue reading My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered Review — B- →

Big Bang Bravern!!! Ok so I was extremely wrong about this show from the first episode. And understandably so! I tuned out before Bravern even showed up. But after that it ruled. Bravern’s character is just so funny, and seeing all the other characters react to him as well. I also liked Isami’s character— he is … Continue reading Brave Bang Bravern Review — B+ →

Yet another isekai. But hear me out, this one rules. It’s a different premise with the whole healing magic gimmick, where the main character is overpowered but in such a way that no one wants to trade places with him. The show has a great sense of humor, from the central premise with the healing … Continue reading The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic Review — B+ →

The elite love to abuse their children and teach them to be dicks. This show is so pretentious and I love it. Possibly the dumbest school setup in anime, which actively tries to destroy its students in the guise of educating them. People go to the hospital for the sake of their grades in this … Continue reading Classroom of the Elite Review — B →

Mecha!!!! Objectively, maybe it wasn’t great. But it sure ticked all the nostalgia boxes for me. Robots! Singing! Betrayals! Lots of random goofiness! A convoluted love triangle! Some very confusing plot about saving the world from some weirdo’s stupid plan! This is everything I expected from a mecha show 15 years ago. It was great … Continue reading Synduality Noir Review — B- →

Our main character moves to Hokkaido and finds out. I’m not sure why this show got so much hype in the circles I run in. I’ve certainly seen worse, but it was ultimately pretty forgettable. I did appreciate how the setting was slightly different (in Hokkaido) with a different type of female lead, but aside … Continue reading Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable Review — C →
