The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible
I really will never get tired of the sentence like titles some of these shows roll up with. In fairness to them we are slowly running out of unique one- or two-word titles, if we haven’t already, but I still don’t think that quite justifies… 14 words? I’d criticize it more for this, but it…

My Deer Friend Nokotan
In a world where there were no big-name anime coming out this season and people apparently couldn’t figure out what to do with themselves, one deer-based comedy show gained unusual levels of popularity for about three weeks and then was rarely spoken about again. People were talking about it, friends who aren’t that into anime…

Neon White
Played on: PC Neon White came on to the scene and was a quick hit, with its focus on speedrunning and offering plenty of experimentation. For me, a focus on gunplay and speed is obviously a good thing. However, this game wasn’t really offering what I hoped it would. I did only some mild experimenting…

Echo Point Nova
Played on: PC This is a game from the makers of Severed Steel, which is another movement focused FPS that is very difficult. This one takes the idea of Severed Steel and turns it into an open world game and also adds co-op, which unfortunately I can’t cover in this review. I’ll say the story…

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feeling in Russian
Ah, one of the oh so many romcoms this season. I swear there are normally like one or two that show up every other season but for whatever reason they really piled them on this summer. There has to be at least five. I’m sure of it. I’m definitely going to get a full count…

Basically it’s about comedy groups doing their routines which are usually just things that actually happened to them. This seemed like an interesting premise, and Christian has steered me in the direction…

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Finding the “American Dream” one drug fueled bender at a time Gonzo Journalism has always sparked a certain curiosity in me. Something about telling a story about your experience with something or at an event to tell a larger story about the thing your covering is such a unique way to conduct journalism. The absolute…

The Owl House
“In a world where you can be anything, we should all strive to be a little more unique, Luz Noceda from The Owl House taught me that” would be an insane thing to say, however I do feel that no show has captured that feeling quite like The Owl House has in the last couple…

Wistoria: Wand and Sword
In a world where every character has a hair color that perfectly matches the element of magic that they use, one boy will have somewhat confusingly colored hair to indicate that he can’t use magic. Instead, he wields a sword. I just noticed this hair coordination thing while watching the very last episode so I…
