Dungeon Meshi – 18 [Shapeshifter] To absolutely no ones surprise, Dungeon Meshi continues to be great.

Spring 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 2

Jellyfish Can’t Swim at Night – 2 [Mei the Fangirl] Jellyfish was fantastic this week. I’ll admit, early on I was a tad put off.

And I feared that Jellyfish would somehow end up supporting her antics, justifying them or … Continue reading Spring 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 2

Spring 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 1

Bucchigiri – 12 [Fateful Duel! Beyond the Gyoza Dumplins] And so ends the final seasonal of Winter, barring Dungeon Meshi which still has a whole other cour. I gotta say, Bucchigiri was a lot of fun. The finale wasn’t perfect, Arajin returning to his age old “I want to lose my virginity” after finally progressing … Continue reading Spring 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 1
