Ayakashi Triangle Review — B-
Trash. I honestly enjoyed this quite a bit. It feels like a throwback to the 2000s with this kind of fanservice. It knows exactly what it’s going for and it delivers. It also has the brilliant idea of realizing that no one likes the self-insert male character, so they have him transform into a girl … Continue reading Ayakashi Triangle Review — B-
Zom 100 Review — B+
The world is overrun by zombies. It’s the perfect time to take a vacation and accomplish your life goals. Fun show but this production schedule was so screwed up. I think it will be more enjoyable for people watching it after release who don’t have to wait. It did have the feeling the end was … Continue reading Zom 100 Review — B+

Tearmoon Empire Review — B+
Fleeing the guillotine, living your best life. Another isekai which I absolutely loved this season. What sets this one apart is the cheerful upbeat attitude of the show itself and how everything always turns out well for Mia, coupled with her constant fear of the guillotine. Sometimes you need something light, cheerful and hopeful, and … Continue reading Tearmoon Empire Review — B+
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess Review — B+
Lesbian harem where everyone also wants to murder the main girl. I love an anime which doesn’t hold anything back and just goes nuts. That’s this show. Highly recommended, it was fun. Storytelling – B – It’s more about the crazy people and the ridiculous battles. Voice – A – Yeah, it knows what it’s … Continue reading The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess Review — B+
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Review — A-
What if Scott Pilgrim died in his first fight? I barely remember the movie (haven’t seen it since it came out) but this ruled so hard. I’m kind of shocked. What makes it feel so unique I think is how it’s an international collaboration. It’s animated by Science Saru (heavily influence by the original comic … Continue reading Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Review — A-
Eminence in Shadow S2 Review — B-
Our hero continues being the world’s biggest chuuni. I’m still recovering from the first episode last season, but it’s been consistently pretty decent. This season included my least favorite arc from the money (the monetary policy arc) which I thought was pretty boring. I actually thought the anime did a better job with this part … Continue reading Eminence in Shadow S2 Review — B-
