Meiji Gekken: 1874 Review — D-
It’s the Meiji era. This had a decent first episode, which ended with the main character becoming a cop. I should have dropped it then and there. Could have just read Harry Potter if I wanted that shit, which at least had the decency to make Harry a cop in the last chapter and not … Continue reading Meiji Gekken: 1874 Review — D-
Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun Review — C+
Tomozaki is leveling up. I felt similar to the first season. An interesting premise but I think it could have taken it in much more interesting directions. It felt superficial, with these characters in high school having conversations about things that they simply don’t have the experience to understand or have an opinion worth listening … Continue reading Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun Review — C+
Banished From the Hero’s Party, I Decided To Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside S2 — B
A new hero appears. I started out wondering why on earth this was getting a sequel. The last one had come to a very satisfactory conclusion, with the main character’s sister overcoming her hero’s blessing / fate to live how she wanted. But actually, the second season ended up being worthwhile. It took things in … Continue reading Banished From the Hero’s Party, I Decided To Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside S2 — B
The Foolish Angel Dances With the Devil Review — C+
Enemies to lovers! My favorite! I am biased because I love this shit, but honestly, it was just ok. The premise was weak, the characters didn’t have much personality, and it was way too tame and predictable. The switch from enemies to lovers was not convincing, nor was their enmity in the first place. It … Continue reading The Foolish Angel Dances With the Devil Review — C+
A Sign of Affection Review — B-
Cute deaf girl hooks up with hot mysterious stranger. For what it is, it was pretty good. The love triangle is half-baked and since they hooked up halfway through the second half mostly lost my interest. For shows like this, I feel like it would be much more interesting if the lead characters were more … Continue reading A Sign of Affection Review — B-
The Fire Hunter Review — C-
A very ambitious story that completely fell apart. I have to give this credit for having ambition. It’s probably the most interesting sci-fi premise we’ve seen since Shin Sekai Yori. It feels like it has an interesting story to tell and a well thought out setting. So I tried to give this the benefit of … Continue reading The Fire Hunter Review — C-
