Well, things are certainly looking though in Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 9, “Defeating and Upper Rank Demon”. That’s quite a misleading episode title there! I’m going to break up the post in a more general discussion of the seasons as well as a few targeted observations about the episode itself. I do plan…
Can you believe that My Dress-Up Darling is already one-third of a way through the season? Seems like it just started yesterday, right? I’m thinking that the anime will remain a lot more PG than the manga. That’s just fine by me. I find that the adaptation is doing a great job at highlighting the…
Once in a while, The Case Study of Vanitas plays it straight. Not often, but there are moments that feel earnest. Glimpses of actual sincere drama where the show explores the inevitable pain all these characters have gone through. Well, not Noé. He seems to be able to reset to blissfully glee in minutes regardless…
A couple of episodes ago, I predicted that Platinum End had nowhere to go but up. And I would like some type of cookie. I’m not saying the show is good now but it’s better. At least I think so. This particular episode was mostly set up as we are essentially starting over now that…

Hello one and all, welcome back to my weekly My Dress-Up Darling post! I did notice a few people starting to get less enchanted with episode 2 of the show. I was sort of expecting this. I do know that not everyone is a fan of this genre and the premiere was a bit tamer…
I don’t know if you guys read my review for last week’s Platinum End. The short version is, I really didn’t like last week’s episode. In fact, I decided that I was bound to like whatever was coming up next more because I couldn’t like it less. Well, I’ve now seen what was coming up…
You may not believe this but I have a number of friends who refuse to watch The Case Study of Vanitas no matter how much I assure them they will love it. Which once again makes me think that reviews may just not be my strong suit. And to them, I say…you guys are missing…
