Last time, our intrepid vending machine hero helped close the gap in the village wall for Clearview Lake Village, and the constant monster attacks have died down. 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…

This is the conclusion of Uzuki’s arc. We start at a Sweet Bullet concert, pre-show: the girls get some snacks to eat. I’d make a bad joke about idols not eating real food, but I don’t think Japanese celebrities have the same problems with starving themselves to death that we have in the US– I…

This was a really well-directed episode; practically every shot was cinematic, and the facial expressions showed a lot of nuance. It was a bit of a retread though– we already knew that Azuma’s mother is terrible and this episode spends a lot of time showing us that she was even worse than we thought. If…

When we last saw our heroes, Alicia took a plunge and battered her body on the rocky coast. Thanks to her undead status, she’s alive, but in no condition to fight. An apparition of Clevatess appears from her blood, and we learn that it’s the dark ichor in Alicia’s blood that keeps her undead; if…

We’re continuing with the siege of Clearflow Lake. Suori popped in at the very end to lend aid last week, and it turns out her aid is a whole lot of money. A group including Boxxo and Lammis goes to Suori’s mansion to get the gold coins out of her safe; the money will give…

This episode deals a lot with academic snobbery, and I’m actually really sensitive to that. I went to a really highly-ranked high school where a lot of the kids were overachievers who were planning to go on to Ivy League and Tier-1 schools. A lot of these kids thought they were destined to be the…
