My Happy Marriage Vol. 1
★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2
Recently watched the ongoing anime of My Happy Marriage and decided to pick up the light novels and let me tell you, they don’t disappoint! Volume 1 is a delightful read filled with action romance and comedy in a perfect blend. Definitely looking forward to reading the rest and will report back with each novel’s review as I finish them!

Agent 355
★ ★ 1/2
Could have been something really interesting as this story hits the right amount of historical accuracy with exciting embellishment, however while I don’t mind the RomCom elements, they lean a little to heavily into it at times. Get me back to the historical spy drama and leave some of the RomCom out.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
Verdict: Definitely Watch
This show had so much hype around it that I knew I’d get to it eventually. I expected it to be sooner than this, but better late than never. That being said, I don’t actually have too much to say other than this is really good, easily a contender for the top of all time, but we’ll have to wait to see more.

Kraven: The Hunter
Did you really think this was gonna be worth watching?
Only managed to sit through it all cause I was at some weird Tempur-Pedic bed movie theater. Like watching Morbius’ slightly older and more muscular cousin with an alarming familial resemblance. Might as well watch it if you hate yourself that much.

Golf Peaks
Verdict: Play
This is a nice little puzzle game where you have cards that define how the ball will move. As you progress obstacles are added in the form of different terrain, starting with just different levels and soon adding different types. Like many puzzle games it’s not terribly long, something you can knock out in a few hours and feel satisfied with and maybe a little smarter. Me, I’m a dumb fuck so I just followed a guide for the last world.

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc
★ ★ ★
I suppose not everything can be a hit. Demon Slayer has been a great show that I think has done a lot of things right, but this might’ve missed the mark a bit. While I loved the background info we get in this arc on all the Hashira, the pacing was Demon Slayer’s best feature, and for me the Hashira Training Arc was just too slow… That last episode though was a masterpiece and gives me hope for the Infinity Castle Arc.

Murai in Love
Don’t Even Bother
This one actually started airing while the summer season still had several weeks left, so it was ahead of schedule. That’s not the reason this review is done first. Now typically I do try to stick with things through the third episode, but this one I just couldn’t really engage with. None of the characters really seemed interesting, the premise didn’t really have a draw either. So I left it at just the first episode.

Delicious In Dungeon
★ ★ ★ 1/2
Really fun show, I loved the characters and the premise is awesome. It has a really good mix of serious plot lines with wacky goofy shenanigans. Excited for season 2 to come out hopefully soonTM so I can enjoy more wacky fun and crazy story.

Umbrella Academy
★ ★ ★ 1/2
Definitely worth a watch if just for the sound track alone. Seasons 1 and 2 were elite and 3 and 4 were kind of mid. Would love to have had it end after season 2. If the show ended at the high point of season 2 it would have been in the upper echelon of sci-fi action shows for me.
