I have no idea what happened. It ruled. Storytelling – A – Not sure what the story was entirely but it sure was told. Voice – A – Definitely unique. Characters – B – Hard to keep track of them honestly. Attention Grab – B – Kept my interest. Production – B – Looks good. … Continue reading Under Ninja Review — B+
16bit Sensation: Another Layer Review — B+
A girl makes bishoujo games (and travels through time). I had a lot of fun with this. I appreciated how razor-focused the show was— it loves Akihabara and bishoujo games, and lets you know it! Much of the focus of the show is on this industry— but it presents it in a way where it … Continue reading 16bit Sensation: Another Layer Review — B+

Protocol: Rain Review — D
Kids take video games way too seriously. This is the show for the season which objectively sucks but I enjoyed it anyway. There’s something pleasant about a show that throws out all sense of subtlety and is clearly written for teenagers. I can just imagine the planning meeting for this anime. “What do kids like … Continue reading Protocol: Rain Review — D
Stardust Telepath Review — B
Cute girls form a rocketry club. As my readers are doubtless aware, this is not my genre. So when I even watch a show like this to the end you should take it as high praise. To start with, what went well? Perhaps my favorite part is how not all is well for the cute … Continue reading Stardust Telepath Review — B
Bullbuster Review — C-
Monsters have overrun an island. A small company is the only one who can stop them. I appreciated that we got a more practical Patlabor-style mecha show, where the mecha are used in everyday settings. In this case, the main focus of the series wasn’t actually the robots, but the office politics. Dealing with retirement, … Continue reading Bullbuster Review — C-

Attack on Titan FINAL Season [Parts 1 through 4b] Review — F
The fascists sure look cool in their uniforms while they murder people. The last time I posted about this (years ago at this point?) the fanbase got really mad at me, but whatever. It’s still fascist and antisemitic. This time, check out this excellent podcast from someone much more qualified to talk about it than … Continue reading Attack on Titan FINAL Season [Parts 1 through 4b] Review — F
