Two girlfriends are not enough (but 100 may be too many). This was not quite as good as the excellent first season, in my humble opinion, but still enjoyable. It probably didn’t help that there was so much great competition this season though. Mirika is a riot. I appreciate the sense of humor and continue … Continue reading Girlfriend, Girlfriend S2 Review — B →

Rentarou begins his journey of 100 girlfriends. This is a show where when I think about it objectively, it’s pretty good. But personally I don’t like it.

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+ →

「水炊き/タルト」 (Mizutaki/Taruto) "Hot Pot/Tart" It may be my first of the season, but to say this premiere was a long time coming is an understatement. The post Dungeon Meshi – 01 first appeared on Random Curiosity.
