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.

When they team up for the three-legged race (after Urushi's friend Maki sneakily bows out) we learn that … Continue reading Episode 2s and one new show

I think that's the gateway to the next world. Kuro no Shoukanshi has Kelvin as the one reincarnated to a fantasy world. 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 … Continue reading Summer 2022 4
