I loved Restaurant to Another World from a while back, so I’m excited for another fantasy restaurant show. So far, Welcome to the Outcast’s Restaurant doesn’t seem very food-focused, but I’ll take what I can get; the other food show this season, Fermat no Ryouri, isn’t licensed yet. This show uses a couple of tropes…

Oh, they say that this Takopi show is good, what kind of weird title is ‘Tacopi’ anyway? Whatever, I’ll try it LOL” *watches first episode*…

Sometimes, I enjoy trashy shows that don’t appear to have much redeeming value; In fact, I may be the only person who enjoyed Astralotte’s Toy who is not on some kind of government watchlist. Because of this, I decided to give Duke’s Daughter a try, even though from all appearances it’s…well…entertainment for men who like…

Many moons ago, on a different website, I used to do anime blogging. Recently I took a couple of years off from not just blogging, but from anime as well. I did watch Frieren, and one or two episodes here and there of whatever my husband was watching, but I was totally checked out of…
