You know, if there’s one thing I tend to enjoy even less than a pure romance anime, it’s a romance anime that ends badly. What can I say, I’m a fragile child and I don’t like sad endings. But sometimes, a sad ending is just what a story needs to really get the emotion across….

The Red String of Fate is another one of these legends that comes up from time to time in anime and manga and I swear I have known about it since I was a kid. Except did I? Did I actually just see it in an anime and decide, yeah, that sounds like a legend…
A few months ago, I met up with a friend and noticed that she was wearing a Demon Slayer hoodie. A really nice one. I didn’t make her strip in the middle of the street so I could check out the tag, but I bet it was an officially licenced product. A nice heather gray…
Hi Irina! Here we are at the weekend again and I am glad we are discussing this series yet again. Its so much fun and just continues to be adorable. Hi Scott, I hope this weekend was better than the last! How are you feeling this week? I saw that you’re getting ready for the […]…
There are a lot of alternative titles for this mang. My Love Mix-Up! is what’s on AniList and how you’ll find it at RightStuf. The original title is Kieta Hatsukoi. I’ve also seen it as Faded First Love and Vanishing My First Love, both of which sound way too dramatic for this story. In any…
The Penultimate Episode of Demon Slayers Entertainment arc is upon us. It’s been quite a fight to get here and I think we are all a little out of breath. Crow and I discuss this episode over on his site, check it out! Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc Episode 10: Not Over Yet In my…
It seems that My Dress-Up Darling is leaning into its ecchi source material every 3 episodes or so. I don’t remember if that’s just accurate to the manga or an adaptation quirk. I seem to recall a more even distribution. Then again, when you’re reading, it’s not always obvious where an episode would end. I…
I’m just going to lay it all out. I have enjoyed The Case Study of Vanitas since episode 1. I think it’s a surprisingly good show with an adaptation that outdoes the source material, or at the very least, brings out the best of it. But this arc elevates the whole. The Beast of Gévaudan…
So uhmmm, I don’t know how to say this. It’s really embarrassing. But I guess I should be honest with you guys. Platinum End is sort of o.k. It’s not good or anything but I’ve seen worse. And like, this episode was the type of thing I would normally bash. It has a certain whiff…
Let me preface this post by saying it was super hard for me to find 5 anime I thought I would hate and still watched at all. I’m something of a gerbil-faced optimist when it comes to anime and I tend to maintain the mindset that if it qualifies as anime, I will probably find…

Sometimes I catch myself having negative feelings about an anime for reasons that have nothing to do with the anime itself, and it’s something that I want to be able to identify quickly because I think I shouldn’t let it affect my reviews.
Titles: Ohedo Rocket, Ooedo Rocket Genre: Comedy, historical, parody Episodes: 26 Studio: MADHOUSE The Edo period was a tough time. Japan decided it was time to make sure the citizenry was upstanding and righteous and strict morality laws started to be imposed everywhere. But we only really care about this specific group of row houses…
Hi Guys, I’m taking over hosting duties this week because Scott is having a very busy weekend. Hi Scott, I hope you still had a bit of time to unwind over the weekend. I know how exhausting it can get when you come off a long week just to have to work and do chores…
