Some of you already know this. I create the gifs that I use as headers for my episode reviews. I particularly like using animated gifs as header images with this blog template. I think it works well and creates some interest on the page. But of course, when reviewing an episode that has just aired,…
I’m just going to lay it all out. I have enjoyed The Case Study of Vanitas since episode 1. I think it’s a surprisingly good show with an adaptation that outdoes the source material, or at the very least, brings out the best of it. But this arc elevates the whole. The Beast of Gévaudan…
So uhmmm, I don’t know how to say this. It’s really embarrassing. But I guess I should be honest with you guys. Platinum End is sort of o.k. It’s not good or anything but I’ve seen worse. And like, this episode was the type of thing I would normally bash. It has a certain whiff…
Well, things are certainly looking though in Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 9, “Defeating and Upper Rank Demon”. That’s quite a misleading episode title there! I’m going to break up the post in a more general discussion of the seasons as well as a few targeted observations about the episode itself. I do plan…
Once in a while, The Case Study of Vanitas plays it straight. Not often, but there are moments that feel earnest. Glimpses of actual sincere drama where the show explores the inevitable pain all these characters have gone through. Well, not Noé. He seems to be able to reset to blissfully glee in minutes regardless…
A couple of episodes ago, I predicted that Platinum End had nowhere to go but up. And I would like some type of cookie. I’m not saying the show is good now but it’s better. At least I think so. This particular episode was mostly set up as we are essentially starting over now that…
I don’t know if you guys read my review for last week’s Platinum End. The short version is, I really didn’t like last week’s episode. In fact, I decided that I was bound to like whatever was coming up next more because I couldn’t like it less. Well, I’ve now seen what was coming up…
You may not believe this but I have a number of friends who refuse to watch The Case Study of Vanitas no matter how much I assure them they will love it. Which once again makes me think that reviews may just not be my strong suit. And to them, I say…you guys are missing…
In Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 7, “Transformation,” Nezuko’s confrontation with Warabihime/Daki seems to be a draw. Although Nezuko winning this fight might mean her losing something a lot more precious. But thankfully her brother is there for her. Meanwhile, Uzui finally catches up with them. It seems that there’s more than just flash…
The Case Study of Vanitas is back for its second cour and I couldn’t be happier. I think this should make you happy as well because if it wasn’t, I would just have a Platinum End post on Saturdays and that just won’t do! I might as well come clean. This episode thrilled me. I’m…
Here’s the good news. I’m pretty sure there’s no place for Platinum End to go but up. Because this episode was the worst one yet. Well at least for me. The first few minutes were fine but like 80% was just plain tedious. I was actually wishing for characters to die just so the episode…
Titles: Monster Incidents, Kemono Incidents, Kemono Jihen Genre: Yokai, action, supernatural, found family Episodes: 12 Studio: Ajiado Kohachi Inugami is what you would call a special detective. A very special detective. Let’s just say he specializes in cases most people would consider downright impossible. But you know, in a big city like Tokyo, pretty much…
The Winter 2022 anime season has just started and I’m not gonna lie, there are a lot of shows that look way more exciting than Platinum End premiering. But you know, I think my OCD would go wild if I left the series only half reviewed. Besides, I do rag on this show a lot…

Always going on about some old legend. Granted, the old guy is the head of a…
This week, we will be looking at Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 5, “Things Are Gonna Get Real Flashy”. This is the establishment of Tengen Uzui’s “redemption”, if you could really call it that, established in the first episode of the arc. For those of you that remember, episode 4 ended on a bit…
