Ted Lasso
It’s incredible how much this show captures the essence of Premier League football while also being a wonderful show as a whole. 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!”

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…

Bodies
4 detectives attempt to solve a murder together, only they don’t know it as over 150 years is between them. The same body and same murder connect them across the years.

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…

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…

Gods’ Games We Play
Not exactly recommended by Christian as he only watched one episode of the anime at the time of his seasonal reviews, but he did read the light novel so that’s good enough for me. Basic premise is that gods have set up rules and games for humans to compete in, with chosen humans also receiving…

KonoSuba: Mega Review
Watched: Sub Covers: Seasons 1-3, the movie, 2 OVAs, and the spin-off series It’s not unusual for me to talk about a show as a whole when I catch up on years of content, but this one was quite a bit. 3 seasons consisting of 31 episodes, 2 additional OVA episodes, a movie, and some…

Winter 2025: The Shows I’m Dropping
I like to give every romance anime a shot at least, casting a focused yet broad net as I look at what’s coming each season. This season has a number of misses in my book, so I’d like to take some time to talk about each of them. Note that this is only for things…

Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles Season 2
Do you ever just watch a show and have no fucking clue why you’re enjoying it? Eh, enjoying it’s the wrong way to put it. I don’t think I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy playing my 31st favorite game or watching a show that’s actually decent. It’s more like I’m just sitting…
