Oh! Edo Rocket is Completely Impervious to the 4th Wall

Posted on February 1, 2022February 1, 2022 by Irina

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…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep12 – Last Dinner

Posted on June 27, 2021June 26, 2021 by Irina

Normally I’m not a fan of clip episodes. It’s one thing if you’re doing one in the middle of a long season as a recap or reminder and it doesn’t count as an official episode but when shows dedicate their finale to reusing scenes. Well, it’s just not very beautiful, now is it? Or that’s…

The Risk of Parody

Posted on June 22, 2021May 28, 2021 by Irina

I like Parodies. I like them a lot. Ok, that’s an easy statement. I like most comedy genres so there’s nothing new here. But in watching Pretty Boy Detective Club, I have been thinking about just how tricky it can be to pull off a good parody. It’s a genre that comes with a whole…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep11 – Probatio Diabolica

Posted on June 20, 2021June 19, 2021 by Irina

This was one of these episodes that inspired a myriad of post titles. “A smart looking guy”, “An un-individualistic face”… in the end I had to go with Probatio Diabolica because it was just too cool. Ok, I thought it was cool which might not be the best reference. Probation Diabolica is what Dojima said…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep10 – Ugly

Posted on June 13, 2021June 12, 2021 by Irina

Cards on the table, this was kind of a weird episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club. Saying that an episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is weird seems like a waste of time. But it was. Potentially because in many ways, this might be the most down-to-earth episode so far. I liked it! I say…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep9 – Choir Contest

Posted on June 6, 2021June 6, 2021 by Irina

Well I’m stumped. I thought I liked this episode of Pretty Boy Detective club less than previous ones. I’m pretty sure I did. Yet I finished it a few minutes ago and now feel great. Like happy and in a good mood. And I know the two are related. I just don’t know how to…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep8 – Zashiki-warashi

Posted on May 30, 2021May 30, 2021 by Irina

I really like zashiki-warashi. For one, I have an interest in yokai in general but I’m also a coward so a cute little Yokai that will play a few pranks then bring me good luck is going to rank really high in my book. I have also noticed that I tend to really like all…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep7 – Constellation

Posted on May 23, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

In retrospect, this was probably my favourite arc of Pretty Boy Detective Club. At least so far. I’m having the inverse reaction that most people are having, as the show gets increasingly more abstract and really more like a piece of performative art rather than an actual story, I’m liking it more and more. I…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep6 – Masterpiece

Posted on May 16, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

The actual title of this week’s episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is The Pretty Boy in the Attic. That’s a great title. It’s super silly and evocative. I would pick up a movie or book called The Pretty Boy in the Attic. But I also wonder if it’s a nod to Edogawa’s Watcher/Stalker/Stroller in…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep5 – Thin Air

Posted on May 9, 2021May 8, 2021 by Irina

It was such a passionate shoutout that I had to beleive it was the main topic. You see now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the crux of the issue. After a whole 5 episodes, almost half of the season, I still cannot tell you with any degree of certainty what the main topic of Pretty…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep4 – High Roller

Posted on May 2, 2021May 1, 2021 by Irina

I think this episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club may be the one I found the most visually interesting. And if you have been following my posts you know that means a lot. The casino setting allowed to add a lot of lavish details. And of course, it also used the usual little visual oddities…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep2 – Twinkle

Posted on April 18, 2021April 17, 2021 by Irina

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…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep1 – Upon a Star

Posted on April 11, 2021April 10, 2021 by Irina

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…
