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.

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. Now I don’t know that I’d even be able to distinguish Japanese dialects, but… Read more

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. 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.

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

2.5 Dimensional Seduction
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 Being focused around cosplay, this anime has to draw an immediate comparison to My Dress-up Darling. However, there is an immediate difference noticeable in that this anime leans a bit more towards fan service, if the title wasn’t already an indication. However, the ecchi takes a bit of a backseat… Read more
