New shows – Winter 2023 1

Welcome to the first installment of my new series reviews for Winter 2023. Mind you, I'm not going to watch everything, or even half of them. I'm going to talk about series that I might actually watch to the end. That means no sequels for shows I never finished in the first place. Also, as …

Fall 2022 3

Our first dull concrete shot of this post. I try not to read reviews of shows until I've seen them myself, but even with that I got weird vibes from the reactions to Akiba Maid Sensou, shock, amusement, disgust. As for the episode, yeah, pretty much those things. We start in 1985, where a couple …

Episode 2s and one new show

The second couple could be as fun as the first. The first half of Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru 2 brings us to the sports festival, where Ayumu is the best at everything and Ayumu is the worst. When they team up for the three-legged race (after Urushi's friend Maki sneakily bows out) we learn that …

We learn that he gave up his memories in order to get some higher stats, a decision he celebrates and regrets in turn, both admiring his former self for his game-smarts and regretting …
