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

Reign of the Seven Spellblades
Watched: Sub Magical school is probably not an uncommon setting to find in anime, but it is hard not to find similarities between some of the characters and tropes in these shows and Harry Potter. While Mashle takes that concept to a generally more comedic route, Reign of the Seven Spellblades instead has a more Read more

Metallic Rouge
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 This is an anime original series apparently produced to celebrate Bones’ 25th anniversary. And they mostly did a great job with it. A story that drops you right in, some memorable character designs, and a sci-fi setting with especially notes of cyberpunk in its initial episodes. Add in some great Read more

Gods’ Games We Play
Not exactly recommended by Christian as he only watched one episode of the anime at the time of his seasonal reviews, but he did read the light novel so that’s good enough for me. Basic premise is that gods have set up rules and games for humans to compete in, with chosen humans also receiving Read more

KonoSuba: Mega Review
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1-3, the movie, 2 OVAs, and the spin-off series It’s not unusual for me to talk about a show as a whole when I catch up on years of content, but this one was quite a bit. 3 seasons consisting of 31 episodes, 2 additional OVA episodes, a movie, and some Read more

Winter 2025: The Shows I’m Dropping
I like to give every romance anime a shot at least, casting a focused yet broad net as I look at what’s coming each season. This season has a number of misses in my book, so I’d like to take some time to talk about each of them. Note that this is only for things Read more

Nana
Watched: Dub Covers: Season 1 Now I wrote a little about this a while back as I watched the first 11 episodes, but wasn’t quite up for a drama at the time. Continuing a few months later, a recap episode proved helpful for once. Now for my own quick recap, basically we follow the lives Read more

The Dangers in My Heart
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1 & 2 Now I browse a little Reddit now and then to see if there’s anything I should keep an eye on. This anime has been mentioned a few times, and always in a very positive way. I remained skeptical though, as I hadn’t heard of anybody in my circle Read more

I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History
This otome game isekai romance genre is somehow really niche in premise and yet seems to be abundant in titles. This time our MC is someone who loved the villainess in their previous life and is reborn as them, deciding that they will be the best version, one who goes down in history (this will Read more
