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

A Semi-Comprehensive Guide to Which Parts of “Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon” You Should Watch
In honor of Season 5 of the show airing and being extremely disappointing I’ve opted to replace my usual review with an effort to guide my readers through the harrowing journey of watching this show. I’ve always said this show was good at some points and struggling to keep its head above water at others Read more

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World
Sometimes I have a lot of trouble writing stuff for shows that I really enjoyed but don’t feel too strongly about. It kind of toes the line between the various styles of writing I favor and really leaves me in a tough spot. Fortunately, this isn’t one of those times. It might be the utter Read more

Let This Grieving Soul Retire
So, I may have briefly forgotten what I’m doing here. Not in some kind of cringe amnesia type way but in a “I’m just staring at the blank screen without the words that I definitely wanted to write about this show coming to me” kind of way. I think we can work through this together 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.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Note: Mild spoilers for the first three episodes. We have to go back in time to talk about this show to understand what it is. Originally announced as Spider-Man: Freshman Year, the show was meant to basically explain how MCU Spider-Man came to be. Now given the rehashings of Spider-Man’s origin story so many times Read more

Violet Evergarden
Watched: Sub Covers: Show, OVA, and both movies This show had been on my watchlist for a while. I don’t know how I first became aware of it or what drew me to it. I do think part of it was misunderstanding the premise and thinking this was a steampunk anime with our MC 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

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
