Genre: CBDCT, School, Slice of life, brothers, idol, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: Bandai Namco Pictures Being an idol is an underappreciated art. It’s a lot more work than people think it is. Gruelling workouts and rehearsals to keep your voice and body in top physical shape. Constant promotion to get your name out…
And Irina and Karandi are back discussing the latest episode of Jeweler Richard and the important lessons learned. via The Case Files of Jeweler Richard Episode 4 — 100 Word Anime Look at that! I’m getting a gallery out in a reasonable amount of time after the review post has been published. That’s amazing! O.k., maybe…
In the intro to our review of the previous episode, Irina spoke of the re-contextualization the series has undergone in the last several episodes ( 2,445 more words via Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep79: An Overwhelming Onslaught and The Crumbling Symbol —
Anime characters sure have though childhoods. Well the action ones at least. If you sit down and really think about action anime, it’s a sea of PTSD. You can’t be a proper hero without a bit of tragedy in your background. At the very least your parents can’t just be healthy. And don’t even get…
Of course! Of course, the week after I praise Haikyuu for the surprising (to me) and slightly unusual decision to focus the start of the season so tightly on Hinata and how that has shaped and curved the narrative of season for (for the better in my opinion) rendering it more personal and relatable, the…
Could Irina and I get more enthused about this anime? I guess it is possible but I’m pretty sure I’m going to run out of ways to say “I Love It”. via Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! Episode 4 Review — 100 Word Anime OMG guys! I’m getting this gallery out before the next episode airs….
These reviews are starting to show a very peculiar naming convention. I’m rather fond of it. Partly because I think I may be the only one still watching this show and as such it’s like a private joke. 25 more words via PET episode 4 – Catfish — 100 Word Anime Like I said in my…
With every passing week, Somali and the Forest Spirit is reminding me more and more of Ghibli with maybe just some traditional Disney sprinkles here and there. And I know we’ve been very disillusioned with Disney (with good reason I might add) but there’s no denying the impact and importance of the studio on the…
Slowly I am starting to get to know (and talk with) more and more anime fans. And guys, they’re just like normal people! 😏 This has led me to discover that although we are all very different, there are some things that seem to unite almost all Anime fans. Anime specific experiences we’ve all gone…
In/Spectre episode 3 concludes one mystery and jumps into another (after a time skip). Irina and I discuss our thoughts on the episode. via In/Spectre Episode 3 Review — 100 Word Anime Guys guys, this is coming out in the same week it aired! Woooohhh!!!! We did it! Progress. Let’s all celebrate, get the drinks…wait, this…
Irina and Karandi discuss episode 3 of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard. Eventually. After we get over discussing spelling. via The Case Files of Jeweler Richard Episode 3 — 100 Word Anime Oh boy, I’m super late with my Gallery again. Just like with Eizouken last week, I actually uploaded my screencaps for the next…
Genre : Comedy, drama, spiritual, slice of life, romance, rabbits, magical girl Episodes: 10 Studio: Toei Animation This one is going to be a little different. Maybe you can tell already because I usually reserve this part of my reviews for a series synopsis and instead I’m already editorializing. You see, I just know…
Having any sort of online communal experience is a weird thing. We all experience things in different ways so it can already be a little tough to understand each other in the best of circumstances, but when you add on the digital veil over that it becomes even more nebulous. It’s a telephone game where…
I am very inconsistent with my opening paragraphs. I sort of switch between a personal introduction to ease readers into the post and just jumping right in without any warning. I haven’t really decided which approach suits me best yet and my readers have been too polite to point it out. This is a brand…
So how do you follow up an episode like Bright Future? An unenviable task for sure. Last week’s My Hero Academia rocked me and essentially recontextualized the entire season for me. Potentially the entire series. It’s a much harsher and more uncompromising world that greets me this week, but also more empathic. One with real…
