Shinozaki-kun no Mente Jijou or The Everyday Maintenance of Shinozaki-kun is my latest random manga discovery and I am really digging it. There is a genre called High Fantasy and I’ll be completely honest with you, I never looked up the actual definition. It gets associated with Tolkien a lot, so I always just assumed…

I first heard of Giant Spider and Me through my comments section. The title really grabbed my attention, and I knew I wanted to read it at some point. Unfortunately, as it tends to happen to older manga that aren’t super well known, it was actually very difficult to find. But I finally got my…

Ladies and Gentlemen, we made it to the end… the Platinum End. I have to be honest with you guys, I’m not even sure if that was sopposed to be a joke. But we did it. The season is over and if nothing else, I have to give it to Platinum End, it sure has…
The official title for this penultimate episode of Platinum End is “At The End of Thought”, and that seems impressively self-aware for this show. If it was in a different series, I would have been impressed by the witty self-depreciation there. Also, I think this title pretty accurately reflects my personal experience throughout the entire…
I’m not going to lie to you guys, I’ve sort of checked out from Platinum End. Mirai had this big love speech or something in the latter half of the episode and 30 seconds after it was finished, I couldn’t have told you a single thing he said. And that was supposed to be the…

There are only a few episodes left to go in PLatinum End and I’m not going to lie, it’s a bit of a drag. I stand by the fact that I think the second cour was a bit better than the first but it’s still not great and the last few episodes have been pretty…
I have to be honest with you guys, this episode bored me to tears. It might just be my state of mind but I could be bothered to care about anything that happened in Platinum End this week. I don’t even have anything to complain about really. This is going to be a short post.
Is it just me or was this episode of Platinum End kind of ugly? It wasn’t dramatically different from the rest of the show but the character models seemed to have lost a lot of integrity and they looked really odd to me in some scenes. On top of that, there was very little visual…
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,…
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…
