More finales, and Komi-san 10

Last week's Sakugan gave Memempu and us the news that Gagumber is not her real father, and this naturally became the theme of the finale. Oh, and she's a rainbow child too, but that hardly seems important at this time. It's all predictable. That kid with the mask (who takes it off) is about to …

11s and some finales

She says this ten seconds into her conversation with Memempu. Sakugan 11 is a routine episode where Merooro takes the gang to see the Dream City's princess and head diva Sina at a concert, which she's holding even with threats of Shibito around. It's one of those "cloistered characters break free and have fun in …

Mieruko, Laika, Takt and Nakama 11, catching up with Senpai ga Uzai

Turns out the ghoul is his mom. Mieruko-chan 11 gives us an unexpected twist. We see a flashback to Zen's early life and his psychotic, controlling mother, and the point where it looks like he's going to kill his first cat from all the guilt and pressure, then to now, where Miko is so desperate …

7-8-9s, Komi-san, Sakugan, Senpai ga Uzai, Mieruko-chan, Laika

Meet Komi's mom. After the extended drama of last week's Komi-san Comyushou desu, we go back to short skits this week. The first has Makeru challenging Komi in the fitness tests, though again, Komi is not aware that there's a challenge. Like most of the more comic scenes in this show, it's held up by …

Sakugan and Senpai ga Uzai 4-6, Komi-san 4

Sakugan's quest seems to be to toss in as many different types of plots as it can. In episode 4 they arrive in Jolly-Jolly, a town of passion, so they say, and it has Roman ruins in it, everything is Italy-based, which is great for the endlessly curious Memempu and not so much for Gagumber, …

Komi-san 1, Nakama, Sakugan, Senpai ga Uzai, Gyakuten, Insanity 2-3

This is actually a beat moment --Rit just suggested something embarrassing. If I'm going to catch up at all I'm going to have to stop reviewing every episode for a while. So a quick look at Shin no Nakama 2 and 3, the former introducing Rit, formidable B-class warrior and princess, who shows up at …

New Fall 2021 #3

He's talking about his previous, miserable life. Saihate no Paladin is an isekai story where the despondent adult is awakened as a baby and is being raised by three undead people, Gus the ghost, Blood the skeleton, and Mary the, er, well, she's very nice. In fact, they're all very nice, even if the two …
