Blah Blah I Hate My Wife Blah
Have you ever been at work or doing some kind of group activity and someone fucks up so much that you have to sit there and wait for a whole day bored out of your mind while they clean up their mess? That’s probably a comparable level of boredom to how I felt trying to… Read more

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

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

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

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

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
