If I had to sum up my feelings about Chi Chikyuu in a single word, I think it’d be “bemused”. I’m not checked out on it – I’m still interested. But also baffled a lot of the time. And not remotely invested in the story or characters like I was in the first cour. This …
Ao no Hako (Blue Box) – 18
Amazing how fast a dream can turn into a nightmare… As I’ve noted before, one of the things I like about Ao no Hako is the way it balances the sports and romance sides of its story. It doesn’t do so in the same way that Adachi does, but there are broad similarities in the …
