Actually, I Am
On a random night in the middle of the summer, this recommendation came to me from Christian. Now we’re nearly into the next summer after and I’m finally watching, and this is only 13 episodes. Catching up is a lot of work it turns out. It was worth including this in my catch up though,… Read more

Summer Time Rendering
Watched: Dub This is an anime that I think went a little overlooked due to it only releasing on Hulu and then only dubbed, with the former being a bigger reason. I think that’s a shame, as it’s pretty good. The story revolves around Shinpei, who learns that people on his home island are being… Read more

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Note: Mild spoilers for the first three episodes. We have to go back in time to talk about this show to understand what it is. Originally announced as Spider-Man: Freshman Year, the show was meant to basically explain how MCU Spider-Man came to be. Now given the rehashings of Spider-Man’s origin story so many times… Read more

Violet Evergarden
Watched: Sub Covers: Show, OVA, and both movies This show had been on my watchlist for a while. I don’t know how I first became aware of it or what drew me to it. I do think part of it was misunderstanding the premise and thinking this was a steampunk anime with our MC being… Read more

I Have a Crush at Work
Watched: Sub Also known as: Can You Keep a Secret? Many romance anime take place in high school. Maybe it’s because so many focus on your first love or it’s a bigger deal when you’re young. But there are those with an adult cast, sometimes even out in the working world rather than college to… Read more

Okitsura
Alright the full title for this one is, “Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She’s Saying” and so for obvious reasons I’m just going with the shortened version of the Japanese title, Okitsura. Now I don’t know that I’d even be able to distinguish Japanese dialects, but… Read more

I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class
Watched: Sub It feels a little weird having this anime so soon after Ranma 1/2 given its similar premise. In this case our leads, Akane and Saito, have already known each other for a while before their marriage is arranged, as opposed to meeting and having it arranged. This also means there’s a history of… Read more

The Owl House
Disney has given us some great works in terms of cartoon shows on TV, but since I’m not generally the primary target audience it’s not something I generally seek out. Luckily there are others like Michael who are aware of other happenings, and since he often recommended this show I decided to finally give it… Read more

I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness
Watched: Sub Following my mega watch of romcoms in early 2024 Christian gave me two more recommendations, this being the first of them. Now I was actually previously aware of this one but the title did detract me from it. However, I decided to have faith. Unfortunately though, I couldn’t quite get into this one.… Read more
