Episode 2 of How Not To Summon a Demon Lord might be more appropriately described as ‘How Not To Put Together a Coherent Episode’. Irina and I discuss the episode and what worked and what missed the mark this week. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 2 — 100 Word Anime
Remember when I mentioned last week that my biggest challenge when reviewing Pretty Boy Detective Club was going to be keeping the screencap count down so that these posts don,t spiral out of control. Well, I was right! And it’s not just because there are all these pretty boys. A lot of the fun of…
I’m not seeing that many people talk about Shadows House. Am I the only one watching this series? If I am, everyone else is missing out! It’s been a great season so far. Ok so I’ve only watched like 1 episode of most shows but I’m enjoying everything. And Shadows House is currently near the…
We are back with the second episode of one of the more unusual offerings this season: Mars Red. I have a feeling this is the type of show that manages to not be divisive by showing all its cards. Anyone who wasn’t on board with the stilted rhythm and muted storytelling was going to drop…
I’ve been waiting for To Your Eternity for.. well forever! It was first announced something like 3 seasons ago. But then, you know, the world kinda ended, and then I guess there were other delays. In any case, the show kept getting pushed back and pushed back. Now you would think that this would be…
Lately, I’ve been picking pretty niche subjects for my top 5 lists. So it’s been a while since I’ve run into this particular problem. What problem you might ask. The problem of having way too many options to pick from. Anime is a huge pantheon! There are Gods all over the place. Big strong powerful…
That title is too fancy for me. It sounds like a research paper. This is not going to be anything close to a research paper. If you print it out I guess it could technically qualify as “paper”, that’s as close as we’re going to get. Some of my readers may know that I am…
Titles: Joukamachi no Dandelion; Castle Town Dandelion Genre: Slice of Life, Comedy, School, Siblings, Super Powers, Fantasy Episodes: 12 Studio: Production IMS The Sakurada family are perfectly normal. Well no exactly, they do have 9 children and that’s a bit excessive. But those 9 children are just your average everyday siblings, except that their lives…
Ok, that title is clickbait. I baited you. I’m sorry. I don’t actually think the manga is always better than its adaptation. In fact, I’m one of the few people out there that tends to prefer the anime to the manga by default but that’s really not the norm. In general, you see manga readers…
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
I mentioned this in my Shadows House review but I’m not sure how many of you will read both so here we go again. I did a poll on Twitter asking people if I should review Shadows House, Pretty Boy Detective Club or both. And Pretty Boy Detective Club won in a landslide. Which was…
I asked on Twitter whether I should review Shadows House, Pretty Boy Detective Club or both. And Shadows House cam in dead last. But you know, I finished the first episode just a few minutes ago and I had to tell you guys about it. So I’m going to do some mini reviews. Or at…
Well, this is quite a hit of nostalgia for me. Here I am watching How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, a show I had enjoyed more than I expected to in its first season. But I’m also back doing episode reviews with Karandi. Always great to have a chat with you, K! Wait I…
This post is brought to you by Rachel of No Filler Anime: I may not always watch the most popular anime on the shelf, but I’m watching what intrigues me and I think that’s the beauty of anime – there’s something for everyone. I came to anime and manga late in the game. While I…
You know, I think that even quasi-professional is too strong a term here. I do like that title though, it makes me sound like a light novel protagonist! As some of you may know, a little while ago I started to publish more PR and Solicited posts. I always tell you when I do and…
