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…

It’s time for episode two of everyone’s favorite troll anime, Turkey! When we last left our heroines, they were transported back in time to the Sengoku era because an ancient bowling ball was excavated on a construction site; I’d like to say “it makes sense in context,” but it really doesn’t. We get the OP,…

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…

It’s getting a little late in the season for “First Look” posts, but I thought I would be remiss not to mention this one. It didn’t originally catch my eye for this season, but I kept seeing people rave about it on social media after the first episode, so I decided to jump in. It’s…

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…

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 that happened…

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…

It’s time to check out HIDIVE’s sole new show this season, Bad Girl. High schooler Yuu has a massive crush on her upperclassmen Atori, but can’t seem to get the older girl’s attention. She eventually decides that the problem is Atori’s role as the school’s Public Decency Officer: Good girls who follow the rules must…
