Tantei, Maid Dragon, and 100-man 10-11

Well, the story was screwed up to start with ... Back to a new arc for Tantei wa Mou Shindeiru, where Kimihiko, Nagisa, and Yui are on a cruise ship for some fun, but Char shows up too saying that Siesta's "bequest" is on board, and they should find it. We don't know what the …

100-man 8-9, Peach Boy and Hamefura 10-11

If this is a village, where is everyone? 100-Man 8's big question (to me) is why chief Cox want to grind his village into the ground like he's doing? There are hardly any people left that we can see. It can't be simply greed or desire to keep power; he should easily see that the …

Riverside, Hamefura, Tantei, and Kobayashi-san 8-9

When it looked like we'd go off to meet a mysterious witch in Peach Boy Riverside 6, instead we hop, er, forward, to Sally's big decision, Mikoto or Sumeragi, from episode god-knows-what. I was hoping she'd go "fuck both of you, I'll go my own way," but instead she chooses Mikoto, the obsessive ogre-killer over …

6-7, Tantei, Kobayashi, 100-Man

Okay, that's a cool-looking monster. I've talked about Peach Boy hopping around time, but Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru does the same thing. At least with episode 6 we head straight to the confrontation between Hel and her Monster and Siesta, Kimi, and their mecha, ready to duke it out under the houses of Parliament of …

4s, 5s, 6s, and a couple 7s–Maid-dragon, 100-man, Idaten, Peachboy, Hamefura

I find I have nothing whatsoever to say about Koboyashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon 4 and 5. Episode 5 might be the more productive in that Ilulu finds something she wants to do and so stops lazing around the house, that is, work in a candy shop so she can hang out with kids, which …

4-5s, Peachboy, Hamefura, Tantei, and Jahy 1

Back to Peach Boy Riverside, a show that apparently likes to hop around. As I recall there was a fighting contest going on, but episode 4 gives us a flashback of young Princess Saltherine, bored with her stuffy life, meeting Mikoto and marveling that he could wipe out a whole squad of ogres (not too …

2-3s, Shinigami, Maid dragon, 100-man, and a new one.

And four days pass before I can watch another episode, and longer when I finally post this … Anyway time to catch up with Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid and decide if I want to keep watching. Episode 2 was a mixed bag. We meet Rob the butler who is good for impeccable service but …

2-3 Peachboy, Hamefura, Genjitsu, Tantei

Both choices suck for different reasons. Peachboy Riverside 2 and 3 takes the setup and hops around a little, so that it's confusing. In ep2 we meet Mikoto, who beats Meki and takes her horn and evil eye, making her basically human. Mikoto's motives are easy to understand: she hates all ogres for some reason …

Summer 2021 3

Kobayashi 2 begins with a view of Kobayashi's happy apartment building. This time we start with Kyoto Animation's return to TV, Kobayashi-san chi no Maidragon S. The show eases us in with a simple story of Tohru going to attack a new, nearby maid cafe and winds up working there as head chef. Her magic …

Summer 2021 2

Your average quiet university before the fun starts. We start with Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki, where a college boy named Kazuya is shunted off from his school library to a land where demons are taking over the north, and the remaining kingdoms are trying to muster up a defense. Kazuya is meant to …
