Ruri Rocks is a gorgeous looking anime. It’s a slice of life anime about two girls who enjoy hunting for minerals, but the outdoor environments are so beautiful, it feels like it’s a fantasy anime with an enchanted forest. Like at any moment, elves are going to come out dancing or something. I would recommend…

Arrgh, this show makes me so mad. Shizuku, the female lead, is one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever seen in anime. She books a spot at a campground with very little camping experience, doesn’t bring a tent, then crashes the male lead’s campsite. She then proceeds to act like everything the guy has…

I realize this is not a pleasant topic, but since it keeps coming up, there’s a few things about it I want to get off my chest. I already started talking about it in my post about Dan Da Dan, explaining why I was still willing to watch it even with the repeated SA of…

When we last left our intrepid vending machine hero and his friends, they had just gotten bamboozled by the Demon Lord, who purposely baited them into sending their best warriors to fight him while his minions terrorized the villages. The group hurries back, but it’s too late; Clearview Lake Stratum’s main town has been all…

I think there is value in reading someone’s impressions of a show before you devote time to it, but sometimes, it’s best just to go in blind. Turkey! is one of those times. Please stop reading and go watch the show if you haven’t already. …..Are you sure you don’t want to watch it? I’m…

This is the third Clover Works show this season, along with Rascal and My Dress-Up Darling. Netflix licensed it, but they’re not releasing it in the US until the fall. So I did what any good aniblogger would do: I hopped a flight to Japan, watched the first episode, ate some melon bread, then flew…

I like the premise of My Dress-Up Darling: it combines the cultures of New and Old Japan in a clever way, and it’s a funny romcom on top of that. Gojo, traditional dollmaker turned cosplay creator, is one of the most lovable male leads in romance. How much of that is the writing, and how…

I didn’t jump to cover this one right when it came out, so I’ve had a few days to read some responses to it. There’s a big issue where some viewers are really put off by the fact that Episode 13 is the second time the character of Momo has been sexually assaulted, the first…

This is one of my favorite shows of the season so far, and it’s about a whole lot of nothing. Okay, not really– conversations count as something— but there really isn’t a plot. It’s just two girls chatting, over snacks. Wada and Yamamoto are two girls who are unpopular in school. One a teacher’s pet…

We seem to be in the middle of a witch boom. We’ve got Witch Watch (great show by the way), Maebashi Witches and Once Upon a Witch’s Death from last season, and Secrets of the Silent Witch for summer. I’m a big fantasy reader, so this is relevant to my interests. So far, this show…
