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…

Content Warning: Sexual Assault I was planning on covering Clevatess, then I saw how dark the second episode was and went “nope.” I felt bad that I went back on my word though, so I decided to do it: if I can handle Dan Da Dan, I can handle this– probably. Last time, our heroes…

Last time, Idol Uzuki managed to read the room and Idol Nodoka was shocked, and this has somehow become Sakuta’s problem. We start off at college, and Mai is on campus for once. She’s rocking some glasses and an atypical (for her) hairstyle, and I think she’s trying to camouflage a little. Everybody at Yokohama…

Where we left off: In the Old House Graveyard Pit our trio of heroes are stuck dealing with the sheer evil of the Mongolian Death Worm, a gargantuan man-eating…er…worm. Momo and Okarun started freaking out, with Jiji remaining sane (for the time being). As the episode starts, we find out what Momo and Okarun have…

Disclaimer: This show is very messed up. I am going to write about some very sad things here. If you can’t handle reading about bad things happening to kids (which I totally understand), you’ll probably want to give this post (and this show) a skip. Last time: Benevolent alien from outer space accidentally bludgeons a…

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…

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…

I’m a big fan of the Rascal Does Not Dream….series. It’s kind of looked down upon by some as kind of the poor cousin of the Monogatari series, since both series feature a male MC who helps different girls with various supernatural problems. Personally, I just like the characters of Rascal better. Sakuta, our main…
