Ubel Blatt
I’m just so fucking confused by this show. It’s your typical dark fantasy action show with all the blood and gore and edgy characters you’d expect from such a prestigious genre but it feels like they totally missed the mark on what people are looking for in that kind of thing. I hope I’m not… Read more

Blah Blah I Hate My Wife Blah
Have you ever been at work or doing some kind of group activity and someone fucks up so much that you have to sit there and wait for a whole day bored out of your mind while they clean up their mess? That’s probably a comparable level of boredom to how I felt trying to… Read more

Shangri-La Frontier
I can’t remember if I wrote a review for the first season of this show and I don’t feel like checking so I’m just going to make this a review of all of it up to the end of the second season. This show has a lot of ups and downs and swings in momentum.… Read more

Solo Leveling Season 2
Some of you might remember that I was not a fan of Solo Leveling season 1 and might be wondering why I even bothered with season 2. Well, it’s because several people couldn’t shut up about how good they thought the show was and I felt the need to prove them wrong. As part of… Read more

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World
Sometimes I have a lot of trouble writing stuff for shows that I really enjoyed but don’t feel too strongly about. It kind of toes the line between the various styles of writing I favor and really leaves me in a tough spot. Fortunately, this isn’t one of those times. It might be the utter… Read more

Watched: Sub Also known as: Can You Keep a Secret? Many romance anime take place in high school. Maybe it’s because so many focus on your first love or it’s a bigger deal when you’re young. But there are those with an adult cast, sometimes even out in the working world rather than college to… Read more

Okitsura
Alright the full title for this one is, “Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She’s Saying” and so for obvious reasons I’m just going with the shortened version of the Japanese title, Okitsura. Now I don’t know that I’d even be able to distinguish Japanese dialects, but… Read more

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

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… Read more
