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.

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.

This also means there’s a history of… 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

Ted Lasso
It’s incredible how much this show captures the essence of Premier League football while also being a wonderful show as a whole. The biggest endorsement I can give it is that my wife loved it and she is not a sports person, so watch Ted Lasso, and most importantly, “you do whatever you like!” Read more

Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld
This show had no business being this good, but man oh man is it good. Jentry Chau is an orphan teenage girl with superpowers, but she wishes she could just be normal (sounds basic but stay with me). She accidentally burned down her hometown when she was eight so her Great Aunt Gu Gu sent… Read more
