Watamote

…and you know, let me say this right off the bat—Watamote (with the full Japanese title of “Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!” or the English title of “No Matter How I Look At It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Not Popular!”)… Read more.

Bocchi the Rock

I found out about Bocchi the Rock sometime either around when its first episode aired or shortly before then—I got recommended some random article about it and thought it seemed interesting, so I put it on my ever expanding plan-to-watch list assuming it was probably obscure.… Read more.

K-On!

Many, many times in the past, I have referenced K-On’s “sense of grand scale”, a point of discussion I use for many other shows I watch both in and out of its genre—but what exactly does that mean?… Read more.

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.

Tonari no Seki-kun

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.

The Bathroom

Now, in theory The Bathroom does share some elements with shows like Kappo and Utsu Musume; it’s an avant-garde comedic 10 minute movie depicting a bunch of weird shit without any real story or voice acting, except it’s actually really fucking funny, creative and clearly took serious amounts of effort.… Read more.

So I’m a Spider, So What?

Now, I know I’m kinda ranting a bit here about the issues this show has, but the truth of the matter is that I actually really liked it and enjoyed my time with it! The thing about Kumo Desu ga is that it does a poor job of playing to its strengths; but those same strengths are so strong and so well done that they redeem a lot of its weaknesses.… Read more.
