Genre: Slice of life, comedy, foodservice Episodes: 13 Studio: Asahi Production Basking in the glories of her energetic teenage metabolism, Minami has resolved to eat all the bread and nothing but all the bread forever. Apparently this is what all the cool kids are doing because she soons finds herself surrounded by a posse of…
Indeed, it’s a pretty decent stopping point, if we didn’t have another season, I feel pretty satisfied with this ending similar to a light novel ending and it’s not so bad in the end. I know there have been quite a few detractors who have been up in arms since that fanservice episode, I think…
Out of all the episodes of Tsurune’s second season, I would say that this one most closely resembled the first season. And by that, I mean that it was mostly drama and personal strife with very little actual archery going on. There was a moment early in the episode but that’s about it. It’s not…
I’m keeping my little Yosano avatar for this week as well. I know I’m repeating myself but Yosano rocks. She always did, she just rocks harder now! I really like her. This was another rough episode. There was a lot of action to distract us from the hopelessness of the situation but things are really…
Play it cool, Guys continues to be one of the sliciest slice of life shows I have ever watched. As I expected, it’s not getting tons of attention but it seems that the few people that have decided to try it out are generally happy with what they see. I’m glad to hear it. It’s…
There’s a basic formula that’s been used in dramas since the dawn of time. It probably has a name but I just call it “darkest before the dawn”. That’s when the narrative really lays on the despair and angst super thick right before giving our heroes some type of glorious victory. Basically, it’s exactly what…
Genre: Beautifully undefinable Episodes: 24 Studio: Brain’s Base I don’t know what a Penguindrum is. Not exactly. We’re never told in clear terms. That’s the type of story this is. A lot of it is up to you. It’s not the type of story that lends itself well to a summary. It’s not that clear…
The world ended…again. Ok not completely, the planet is still there and there are a few humans but those humans aren’t very happy. And they certainly aren’t living in the lap of luxury. Trapped in an endless war for survival, trying to scrape by. There are also a lot of vampires around but they’re not…
Last week I said that Mima was my favourite and now I get a Mima episode! I’m not sure how many people are watching Play it Cool Guys. I hope it’s a few because it is one of the most relaxing anime experiences I have had. In any case, it seems like the producers have…
I told you right? I told you you would love Yosano even more once you saw. Is it just me? Am I the only one that finds this particular backstory just tremendous? Not only did I find it one of the more genuinely emotionally devastating tales but also it weaves in so well with the…
Man, they sure are going all out in developing the Tsujimine team. I am not complaining…at least not yet. It’s going to be very difficult to root for any one school at nationals though. I wonder if they’ll do that cop-out that Sports! anime sometimes resort to and have a completely different school we’ve never…
Remember when I started doing episode reviews cause I figured they would be nice short posts I could just get out in a couple of minutes? No? Yeah, me neither…. Admittedly, I don’t pick series that are very easy to review in just a few words. So that’s on me. To Your Eternity has a…
Genre: Science fiction, mecha, action, adventure, heartbreak in the best way Episodes: 27 Studio: Gainax I don’t know if I can do this one. I finished Gurren Lagann last night and it broke my heart in that delicate and pretty way only the right show at the right time can do. I’m grateful for it….
I had a bit of a busy weekend last week and just didn’t get around to my Play it Cool, Guys post. I do feel a little bad about it. Rest assured, I haven’t dropped the show or reviewed it, no matter how little I have to say about it. Since the show airs so…
You know, I really tend to prefer anime to manga. It’s supposedly not a popular opinion. People don’t usually share it on their blogs and stuff. It certainly sounds a bit lowbrow for some reason. But I can’t help it. All the extra elements that anime layers on really bring a story to life for…
