This may genuinely be the worst of these things this season. Impressions: AKA Strongest Rearguard. And in a sea of utterly generic garbage, this is even more generic. I don’t have a superfluous description for what the most generic thing is, but imagine I did. Also, imagine you were trapped in the character creator …
Iron Wok Jan #01 — “Go Buy the Manga, Now!”
I like how everybody’s clothing is pristine at the end of a shift. I need to get the dogs out before the heat. I see other (awful) shows like Rearguard already up. I’ll deal with it in an hour or two. Impressions: I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anime end with a straight …
