Konosuba

…never does the show feel like it slows down, misses a beat, or runs out of ideas; and despite how unavoidably incompetent Kazuma and his party seem, the show never strays too far from their ultimate goal of defeating the Devil King, always driving the plot forward in the most unexpected but welcome ways.… Read more.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

…it’s actually quite sad when it ends because it leaves you desperately wanting more. Like, I’d literally pay to see the remainder of Chiyo, Nozaki and everyone else’s high school lives animated in full.… Read more.

Tonari no Seki-kun

…when I lifted Re:Zero up onto its lofty pedestal, I tried to make the point of how deep and well thought out the story was and how interesting the core characters were, but Seki-kun is hardly a show that rides off its interesting plot and excellent characterization.… Read more.

Yofukashi no Uta

…but now that I finally have the chance to sit down for this review and I’ve had a couple of weeks or so to stew on Yofukashi no Uta, I’ve come to realize part of the issue I was having was writer’s block, which is never fun and tells me something important about the show itself I’m trying to review; I’m apathetic towards it, regardless of whether or not it’s good or bad or somewhere inbetween.… Read more.

Mahou Shoujo Site

Looking around on the internet, it’s not hard to find that not only did the anime adaptation of Mahou Shoujo Site not perform particularly well, but it was largely glossed over as being little more than a grimdark, edgy rip-off of Madoka Magica with little in the way of substance, and that’s a damn shame because I genuinely think Mahou Shoujo Site is a very solid and enjoyable show.… Read more.

Tokyo Ghoul

Now, normally I would segue into what the overall story or plot is supposed to be about after the intro sequence is over, but to be perfectly honest I have no idea how to explain the plot of Tokyo Ghoul to you.… Read more.

Interspecies Reviewers

If you haven’t already heard of Interspecies/Ishuzoku Reviewers, it’s quite infamous; before Redo of Healer, this was essentially the de-facto anime that became controversial for being extremely sexual/graphic in nature despite being released as a legitimate anime rather than a hentai.… Read more.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War

While criticism of any show—no matter how amazing—is always warranted, blindly attacking something and calling it “overhyped” just because it’s popular is not. That couldn’t be further from the truth; Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen is a show that succeeded because it deserved to, has genuine substance and I absolutely loved every moment of it from start to finish.… Read more.

Nekopara

…take away the sex, and the game has literally nothing—it can’t justify its own existence without it. So why in the name of God almighty did somebody decide it would be a fuckin’ awesome idea to take this game, strip away the only part of it worth a damn and turn it into a “family friendly” 12-episode long torture session?!… Read more.
