Hi Scott, Hi everyone! Sorry I’m a little late with this week’s post for Sasaki and Miyano. I decided to try to make pelmeni from scratch and it turned out to be a considerably more ambitious endeavor than I had calculated. On the upside, they are delicious! Like almost worth it delicious. How are you…
Everyone’s favourite seasonal ship has sailed. I think My Dress-Up Darling took a lot of people by surprise. There’s a lot to be said for shows that know how to use their charm and this is certainly one of them. For my money, the adaptation actually manages to bring the very best out of the…
Titles: KazeTsuyo, Run with the Wind Genre: Sports!, comedy, drama, slice of life Episodes: 23 Studio: Production I.G Running is hard. It’s so hard! It’s one of the toughest physical activities you can do for any sustained amount of time. And it hurts like your whole body. The risk of injury is high and the…
I’ve managed to stack quite a few manga first impressions which have allowed me to hold out for full series reviews once in a while. Boys Run The Riot was a perfect candidate for that. It’s a relatively short series as it only has 4 volumes and the final one came out relatively recently. I…
Well, this is kind of a predicament. I watched Vanitas yesterday and I liked the episode but I had so many things to say I didn’t know how to stat. Today I watched My Dress-Up Darling and I liked the episode but I don’t know where to start because I don’t really have anything to…
I’m officially going back to the office this week. Only one day a week but it’s quickly going to go up to three. I’m not too thrilled about it and it’s going to make working on the blog a bit more difficult but I guess it will be nice to get a change of scenery….
There were some anime where I was really happy to realize that there were only two episodes left. But in the case of My Dress-Up Darling, I’m already a bit nostalgic. Even though the season is mostly over, I still find the show refreshing and a great way to ease into the weekend. I guess…
Despite everything I wrote, I’m still buying physical manga. For example this first volume of Fairy Tale Battle Royale. You know one thing that’s really nice about having actual physical copies, aside from the no bleu light? It’s being able to lend them out to people. Lately, I’ve turned into something of a mini manga…
You know, every week I start watching My Dress-Up Darling thinking maybe this is the episode I’m not going to like. It’s ok. A single episode I like less isn’t going to discredit a show. A lot of my favourite shows have episodes I consider weak. That’s perfectly normal. And I was all set to…

Hello everyone. I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I know it’s Monday but don’t worry, the weekend will be here before you know it! Of course, a big hello to you Scott (guys check out Mechanical Anime). How are you this week? It’s been snowing quite a bit here so we’re getting out the…
Wee wasn’t this episode of my Dress-Up Darling just so… precious. I feel like that’s the perfect word for it. The show has started piling on the sweetness and I’m all for it. It’s cute and the characters manage to carry it off without making it cloying. Well at least to me. I hope you…

My title is a direct quote from this week’s episode of My Dress-Up Darling. I picked it because I feel like it will give you realistic expectations for the rest of this post. I’m having a tough time…
