Did someone come over to CloverWorks and bring a dump truck full of money? Because this episode is really well animated, and to be honest, the material doesn’t even call for it; it’s just extra. I’m not complaining, but I do wonder why this show seems to be getting special treatment among the three CloverWorks…

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…

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…

We return to the Halloween Karaoke party. Gojo has just spit out his drink after Nowa asks if he and Marin are dating, and unlike most instances of this trope, he actually did get soda all over himself. Gojo loudly denies that he and Marin are dating, and Marin pulls him out over to the…

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…
