Hmmm, does this count as a filler episode? It is in the manga but then again, a lot of episodes that are considered filler are also in the source material. That’s not something I can go by. It was a bit of an odd episode all things considered. I’m not sure how I’m going to…
I just love Maomao’s over-the-top dislike of Jinshi. I think I’ll use her shivers of disgust as a header gif whenever possible and build up a little collection of them. It’s going to be great.
I’m so glad the anime introduced a lot more people to the Apothecary Diaries. I remember that I never had much luck getting people to read the manga before the show was even announced but now those same folks are eager to talk about it with me and it makes my day. It’s a story…
I just saw that the Apothecary Diaries is slated for 24 episodes and I’m a little stoked, I won’t lie. I did have some trouble adapting to the…adaptation… but now I really look forward to every new episode and the fact that I will get to see so many of them makes me pretty happy!
You have to pay attention! I must say watching the adaptation does have the added bonus that I’m picking up on little details that I might not have in a cold viewing. That’s what I’m choosing to call watching an anime without any knowledge of the source material. Essentially what I do 90% of the…
I was talking with a friend about Apothecary Diaries (one I lent the manga to) and she brought up a good point. When watching the anime, you get the impression that they really put in a lot of effort designing Maomao but the rest of the characters where left by the sideline. And I agree….
I had almost lost hope for this one. I remembered it being announced for the 2023 winter season but as all the premiers came and went and I started on the third episodes of some of the shows I’m watching, I figured it had been pushed back to a future season. So imagine how delighted…
Tomo-chan is a girl. Sure she’s taller than most of the boys and can probably beat them all up if she wanted to. It doesn’t take much for her to want to… And she can’t exactly be described as demure or dainty… and she’s not allowed on the girls’ karate team anymore… but she’s clearly…
There is no ZOM 100 this week, so how about an extra series review 😉 Hime is adorable, isn’t she? She might be the cutest girl you’ve ever seen. She’s always smiling, always nice, and super friendly with everyone. She’s pretty much perfect. And let me tell you, it’s exhausting pretending to be such a…
Ann is going to be a master sugar artisan. It’s her birthright, after all her mother was one of the best artisans in all the land. Granted this is not a title usually given to women. And now that her mother has passed away, Ann is nothing but a poor girl without any allies or…
I might have whined a bit on this site about how I didn’t get to see Suzume in theaters. Well…I lied…I did! I found one artsy theater that was still showing it in Montreal and even managed to convince a couple of friends to go with me. And check out this poetic turn of events….
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….
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…
Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck. But I figure I might as well use the opportunity for some advertising. So if you actually came across this post on Anime…
