Karen's Anime Blog

Watching television can be fun, but it sure does take time– time that you likely no longer have in the fast-paced world of today. Instead of laboriously tracking the output of the frighteningly prolific island nation known as Japan, we now provide this exquisitely-curated service to give you the main idea of everything remotely important that happened in the programs called “anime” this week. Now you can spend all that extra time petting your cats, knitting a sweater, or playing a dating sim where you can date an orc.

This Week in Anime:

1. This fashionable young lady just ate a huge bowl of spicy noodles and is not going to be able to eat her dinner when she gets home.

2. Nozomi helped herself to some of Sayuri’s gummies because when you get suddenly plopped onto a battlefield during the Sengoku era, you need to keep your blood sugar up.

3. A contestant on a game show run by Cthulu got an artist killed by a blade-wielding, toothy moving vagina because he didn’t like the way his manga ended. To be fair it didn’t sound like the manga was very good.

4. A witch with heavy social anxiety got pushed down the stairs, but that was okay because she’s really good at math.

5. A psychic high-schooler defeated a Giant Mongolian Death Worm, with a little help from her demon boyfriend and the local fire department. Unfortunately, the situation with her other demon boyfriend is fraught.

6. Shizuka is all set to enjoy summer vacation. Now all she has to do is find her dead dog and not think too hard about the nine-year-old boy she just got to take a murder rap for her. Her pink octopus friend is really out of his depth by this point.

7. Alicia learned that being immortal really, really sucks. But she fed a bunch of scummy bandits to a pod of fish monsters, so that’s a check in the win column.

8. A woman with uniquely terrible fashion sense tries to rope a man into being her surrogate father; so far, against all odds, it’s working.

9. Two students who have a Romeo and Juliet-type situation going on get to study at a pretty freakin’ awesome looking library.

10. A boy in a sleepy mountain town is quickly falling in love with the demon who body-jacked his dead best friend– there are numerous boundary issues.

11. Yuu is a bad girl who does very bad things like beating up cops. Her girlfriend is not convinced.

12. Anti-social novelist takes her “dog” to the beach, having somehow failed to notice that her dog has special powers and is not at all a dog.

13. A girlfriend told a cross-dressing man to stop dressing as a girl; he told her to go pound sand.

14. A college student who works part-time at an arcade decided to start dating a twelve-year-old girl because…why exactly….

That’s all that happened in anime this week! Come back next Sunday for more hits from the world of Japanimation!
