Senpai is an Otokonoko
Watched: Sub Covers: Episode 1 First off, like me you probably have no idea what an otokonoko is. Apparently it’s a term for guys with feminine features, often depicted as crossdressing in media. Our protagonist doesn’t seem to identify as a girl, just dresses as one. A girl confesses to him, and despite learning he’s…

Pseudo Harem
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 Honestly I wasn’t sure how the premise of this one was going to work, but it does better than expected. A girl tries to impress her senpai with her acting skills, taking on the role of several archetypes so he can have a harem. In reality she has a big…

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1 & 2 I originally meant to watch season 1 for the massive romcom watch effort, but when looking ahead at what was coming for the year I saw a second season, and decided I’d just watch it all at once, assuming it was good enough. Season 1 proved to be…

Days with My Step Sister
Watched: Sub Covers: Episodes 1-3 I know, I know. But My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex ended up being pretty good, so I decided to give this a shot despite the title. I think this one has some real potential, but it’s just not for me. And not because of the title and what it…

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Watched: Sub Covers: Season 1 Now while playing catch up on the summer season I was seeing at least some things related to this show, but I really didn’t know what to expect. One thing I noticed right off the bat is the weirdly high quality animation. I would say it compared more to a…

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

I was immediately delighted with the cast and basic premise. Alya is a half-Russian girl who is seen as very cold, but often reveals her…

Astro Bot
Astro’s first full-fledged outing continues celebrating PlayStation, putting a spotlight on its famous characters while solidifying their position as a mascot for the brand. Astro’s Playroom on PS5 was a great little game that served in some ways as a tech demo of the DualSense controllers, as well as a showcase of PlayStation’s history, and…

Delicious in Dungeon
Have you ever wondered what monsters taste like? We really weren’t ready for this one huh? The show kicks off by throwing you into the mix of a dungeon party fighting a big dragon. Right from the start something appears wrong as we are seeing the view of the party leader and he is having…

The Vampire Dies in No Time
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1 & 2 First off, great OP in the first season, like the electro swing sound and should probably invest in seeking music of that style. Second, what a great start to the premise, immediately dropping the pretense that Draluc is some great vampire. Love watching him “die” repeatedly in the…
