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…

Welcome to Demon School Iruma Kun 3 – The Tournament Arc
TIruma is back and after all he’s been through, maybe he can finally enjoy his high school life…in the demon realm. It’s actually pretty nice! But it turns out that there’s no time to rest. It will soon be time for the Harvest and Music Festivals and Iruma and his classmates are going to have to…
Yuri is My Job – Sweet and Forgettable
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…
Ippon Again – I am too easily influenced
Michi or should I say Ippon Michi loves Judo. Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say Ippon Michi cause she really doesn’t do many Ippons at all. In fact, she’s never won by Ippon even though she’s been trying to for years. And this time might be the last time. After losing this tournament and all their…
Tsurune 2 Episode 13 -Full Anchor
I can say it officially now. Season 2 of Tsurune was exponentially better than season 1. At least for me. The rating is a little better but only by 4 or 5 points. But I thought it was a full letter grade better. If ever you had any doubt that reading anime is useless, I…
Tsurune 2 Episode 12 -Small Victories
I had to look it up after the end of the episode but there is one more left this season. This episode really felt like a finale to me. And a good one at that. It gave me all the emotional closure I needed and even a few of the good old competition jitters. I…
Tsurune 2 Episode 11 -Round 1
Nationals have finally started and all the teams made it to the tournament. Well, probably not ALL the teams but all the teams we care about, right? I actually had a great week of anime. All the shows I watched had great episodes, Tsurune included. But I noticed that I took way more screencaps of…
Classroom Of The Elite Season 2 Review & Reaction : This Season Could Do So Much Better!
Indeed, it’s a pretty decent stopping point, if we didn’t have another season, I feel pretty satisfied with this ending similar to a light novel ending and it’s not so bad in the end. I know there have been quite a few detractors who have been up in arms since that fanservice episode, I think…
Tsurune 2 Episode 10 -Uncle
Out of all the episodes of Tsurune’s second season, I would say that this one most closely resembled the first season. And by that, I mean that it was mostly drama and personal strife with very little actual archery going on. There was a moment early in the episode but that’s about it. It’s not…
Tsurune 2 Episode 9 -Coach
Man, they sure are going all out in developing the Tsujimine team. I am not complaining…at least not yet. It’s going to be very difficult to root for any one school at nationals though. I wonder if they’ll do that cop-out that Sports! anime sometimes resort to and have a completely different school we’ve never…
Tsurune 2 Episode 8 -Practice Match
We are 8 episodes into the second season of Tsurune so I feel like I can say this pretty confidently now, I really like this season. As in I think it’s considerably better than the first. But I can see it also be a little alienating. Season 1 was a little like KyoAni’s other big…
Tsurune 2 Episode 7 -Teamwork
I have to say, I’m really enjoying this second season of Tsurune. That wonderful episode last week has now been followed up by an equally lighthearted and joyful episode this week. What do you expect when you put Ryouhei at the center of an episode, of course, it’s going to be happy-go-lucky. His unexpected budding…
The Daily Life of the Immortal King 3 – A Boy and His Dog
The great Demon Empire has been brought to its knees. The Demon king was slain and his kingdom lay in ruins. Humans can finally rest easy, no longer daunted by the threat of Demon kind, right? Right??? You know what they say, you can’t keep a good demon down…or a bad one. Actually, this mostly…
Tsurune 2 Episode 6 -Be Careful What You Wished For
As soon as the girls mentioned entering a Kyoudo competition themselves as a three-person team, I got very excited. Tsurune is a fairly rare Sports anime in that not only are there female characters with talking parts who aren’t managers and/or potential love interests but actual competitors with their own arcs. Nevertheless, the girls’ characterization…
The Solitary Castle in the Mirror – Manga First Impression
Once you decide that fan translations are ok, it’s difficult to stop. Yup, The Solitary Castle in the Mirror is another manga that hasn’t quite been officially licensed yet. It’s actually based on a novel that might have an official translation. I’m afraid I didn’t do my homework there. The original title is Kagami no…
