Last time, Rintarou and Kaoruko scheduled a study date for Saturday in the hopes of helping Rintarou pass his midterm exams. Saturday morning, Rintarou wakes up early and takes the train. People on the train are scared of him two separate times in this episode, and it really shows how tiring it must be for…

This week, it’s time to prepare for that school anime staple, the cultural festival. Gojo and Marin’s class decides to do “Russian Roulette Takoyaki” and err, I have some concerns. I’ve had takoyaki before and liked it, but would I really want to eat takoyaki when some percentage of the fish balls have a giant…

Last time, Sakuta had just met up with the mysterious Touko Kirishima, the mysterious singer in a Santa suit. Touko reveals that she’s been giving out Puberty Syndrome as “presents,” so Sakuta naturally asks her to cut it out with that nonsense. Touko agrees, because she’s already done with it: she’s gifted Puberty Syndrome to…

I’m a little late getting to this episode; I wanted to sit on it for a few days and see if I could make more sense of my thoughts. But everything is still a jumble. Shizuka’s trip to Tokyo went almost exactly how I thought it would, except I did not expect the earlier parts…

Now, everybody is working together to rebuild the village, despite the heat. Hulemy is working on getting the transportation circle back up and running, while Lammis helps by…

Note: Crunchyroll’s subtitles keep switching between “Clen” and “Klen” for Clevatess’ human form. I’m going to stick with Klen because I like it better. Last time on Clevatess, Alicia got a whole bunch of bandits eaten by fish monsters while she sunk to the bottom of the lake in pursuit of Khordwar’s sword. Now, she…

I’ll level with you guys: I am not enjoying this anime. Right now I’m liking Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show more than Turkey!, and Necronomico…is not a good anime. There is something uniquely tedious about Turkey! though, with how it’s managed to take a completely batshit insane premise and make it a stultifying bore.…

Last time, Rintarou and Kaoruko decided they weren’t going to let the beef between their two high schools interfere in their friendship, but this episode shows that becoming close may be more difficult than they thought. Chidori Public High School. Rintarou and Usami are excited for the upcoming Sports Festival, except there’s a problem: the…

Last time, Amane promised to show Gojo and Marin some boobs, and in this episode, he delivers. He takes them to a huge cosplay specialty store with a dizzying array of supplies, including fake plastic boobs. Amane puts the plastic boobs on Gojo, so of course Marin has to squeeze them, then Gojo reacts like…
