The production meetings for this show must be interesting. Impressions: You know, a pretty solid twist on that corny-ass opening segment would have been revealing that it was all AI and the actual characters hated it for how utterly generic, overproduced, and lazy it was. Alas, no. That is the magic of music, and meant to …
Magical Girls Lulu & Lily #01 — Alien Intentions
Just handing out super powers to whatever idiot yells at you, huh? Impressions: Look on the bright side. No CGI concert or idol schtick this episode.

Spring 2026 Impressions: Dorohedoro S2, The Ramparts of Ice, Petals of Reincarnation
Dorohedoro S2 Short Synopsis: Season 2 of Dorohedoro, I don’t know how to explain it other than that, it’s crazy. Lenlo: Ah Dorohedoro, you’re just as insane as when I left you. It took me all 3 episodes to figure out where the hell we were and what the fuck was happening, but once I …

Kusonoki Pokemon Manor #01 — Bad Penmenship
I legitimately almost fell asleep. I did flip through Agents of the Seasons’s second episode, but other than having about 30 seconds of fighting some random thugs, it was the same as the first, just focused on the winter dude and his moody bodyguard instead. But they were both doing the same thing, lamenting …
