The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1 & 2 I originally meant to watch season 1 for the massive romcom watch effort, but when looking ahead at what was coming for the year I saw a second season, and decided I’d just watch it all at once, assuming it was good enough. Season 1 proved to be… Read more

Days with My Step Sister
Watched: Sub Covers: Episodes 1-3 I know, I know. But My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex ended up being pretty good, so I decided to give this a shot despite the title. I think this one has some real potential, but it’s just not for me. And not because of the title and what it… Read more

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 Now while playing catch up on the summer season I was seeing at least some things related to this show, but I really didn’t know what to expect. One thing I noticed right off the bat is the weirdly high quality animation. I would say it compared more to a… 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

Too Cute Crisis
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 Now Christian showed the first episode of this at a party. I was already pretty sold on it from when he described it before this, and watching the first episode I was happy to see it even exceeded my expectations. Basically an alien comes to earth to investigate it before… 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
