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. This also means there’s a history of Read more

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

Ted Lasso

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

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
