Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 This was consistently one of the most popular shows of the summer season, and I was regularly seeing clips or screenshots before getting caught up. I was immediately delighted with the cast and basic premise. Alya is a half-Russian girl who is seen as very cold, but often reveals her… Read more

Astro Bot
Astro’s first full-fledged outing continues celebrating PlayStation, putting a spotlight on its famous characters while solidifying their position as a mascot for the brand. Astro’s Playroom on PS5 was a great little game that served in some ways as a tech demo of the DualSense controllers, as well as a showcase of PlayStation’s history, and… Read more

The Vampire Dies in No Time
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1 & 2 First off, great OP in the first season, like the electro swing sound and should probably invest in seeking music of that style. Second, what a great start to the premise, immediately dropping the pretense that Draluc is some great vampire. Love watching him “die” repeatedly in the… Read more

Mashle: Magic and Muscles
This anime was recommended to me by both Christian and Michael. Now by the time I decided to start watching this I had forgotten the details of either review I read, which is probably a good thing as I wouldn’t be too influenced by what they thought other than that they liked it. And I… Read more

Kaguya-Sama: The First Kiss That Never Ends
Watched: Sub Covers: Movie If you haven’t read my review of the 3 seasons preceding this, please do that. Now for the movie, it’s so good, please watch it. While season 3 did wrap things up nicely, this is a really strong arc that I think elevates it above other works in the genre. It… Read more

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War
Watched: Sub and Dub Covers: Seasons 1-3 If you’ve ever talked to me about anime I have almost certainly mentioned this. I liked this so much that on finishing the second season I read most of the manga that same night, starting from the beginning just to see what chapters weren’t covered. While waiting for… Read more

So I’m a Spider, So What?
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 After planning to stay a few days at Christian’s we were presented with the perfect opportunity to watch one of his recommendations. And honestly the trip would have been worth it for this alone, it is such a fun show. High school girl is reincarnated as a spider in another… Read more

Jujutsu Kaisen
Watched: Dub Covers: Season 1, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie, Season 2 Finishing the first season left me overall unsure of how I feel about the show. I think up until about the halfway point, the show wasn’t really getting my attention. While the introduction of Mahito and gradual escalation going on from there was better,… Read more
