Tower of God 12 turns out to be a typical penultimate episode, with the good side rallying, the bad side dying or retreating, and a seeming betrayal at the end, though with all the intrigue and minor politicking going on it's hard to tell what is happening exactly. While Bam and Rachel continue to float … Continue reading Finales, Tower, Kakushigoto, Nami, Hamefura
They want the truth. Kakushigoto 10 doesn't have much theme-play this week. The closes thing we get is Hime being a bad girl for eating the cookies and her dad being a bad man for being unmotivated at work … until Hime wins a three-day holiday at an onsen (bring the dog!) and he now … Continue reading Tens: Kakushigoto, Tower, Nami, Hamefura
When it became clear that Minare would meet Mitsuo again in Nami yo Kiitekure 9, well the episode pretty much played out like I expected, though I was worried that Minare would get sucked in by deadbeat Mitsuo's charms. That did happen, after the expected prequel where she plans various ways to kill or injure … Continue reading Nines: Nami, Tower of God, Kakushigoto, Hamefura

So Nami yo Kiitekure 4 introduces who might be the last of the regular characters, or at least the ones capable of making messes of lives. This week's plot has the restaurant owner Takarada getting injured so Nakahara and Minare (rehired) run the place alone, the former treating it as a married couple situation and … Continue reading Nami yo Kiitekure 4-5, Railgun T 13, Kakushigoto 4
Railgun T and Magia Record will go on my wait-list for a while so I can start writing about the new shows. Same format as before: only shows I might follow, a screenshot of the first intelligible moment, etc. Here we go! The season starts with Tamayomi and two little girls playing with a rubber … Continue reading Spring 2020 1
