Shin no Nakama – S2 04 – Slow Life Assassin
This week chronicles a typical day in Ruti’s new life as a former hero. After a very intense morning stretching session, she has a bath and then tends to her herb garden, which she considers her main job now, adventuring being a side gig.

Ao no Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati-hen – 04 – Angels and Demons
Damn Takara Nemu, the little shit! Izumo is about to be fashionably late for her food stall duty, showing she really does care about not breaking her word to Rin.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – 20 – All’s Fair in Love and War
As I expected, Ehre was wrong to scoff at Fern’s “basic” spell. When that spell is launched at her hundreds of times in the space of a few seconds, so rapidly that Ehre can’t keep up and eventually runs out of mana for her defensive power, well then there’s nothing really wrong with basic, is … Continue reading "Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – 20 – All’s Fair in Love and War"

When the heroes of Limia and Gritonia meet, it’s extremely awkward thanks to Tomoki. Whether he’s determined not to show any affection for Limia’s hero in front of his lover or party, he’s very rude, curt, and petulant with Hibiki, who is only trying to get along. I have to think part of it is … Continue reading "Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy – S2 03 – Now for Wrath, Now for Ruin"
Shin no Nakama – S2 03 – Time for Her Happiness
As I suspected, “Esta” is actually Theodora. I appreciate that she’s staying close to the new Hero Van, and when she hears that he might be headed to Zoltan, she sends Albert there first to inform Red of the situation. I seriously don’t want Van anywhere near Ruti! Zoltan, meanwhile, is ablaze in festive spirit … Continue reading "Shin no Nakama – S2 03 – Time for Her Happiness"
