Man, six years? Hard to believe, but that’s how long (a bit more actually) it’s been since One Punch Man last graced our screens. The manga is ongoing and continues to be a pretty massive seller. I’d rank this franchise as just below kaijuu level. To say it’s been a checkered journey for the anime …
Alma Wants a Family #02 — “I’m Stuck, Step-Roomba”
At least he tried. Impressions: The middle roomba segment was decent enough, mainly for some actual effort put into animating her scampering around and chasing after it. Very kind of Potemayo vibes.

SI-VIS #02 — Sad Boy Sad Dances
Dance dance devolution. Oops. I completely missed that this was entirely a Sunday morning broadcast now. Or late-ish Saturday US time. Impressions: But also, this episode was terrible. Terrible in exactly the way that I expected the first episode to be. In that it wasn’t about fighting evil bugs or aliens at all, and …
The Vampire Girl Can’t Suck Right #01 — Glasses Over Hair
When your character designs are clearly not a mess. Impressions: Another mostly inoffensive but not actually particularly funny comedy. I find it slightly more tolerable than Mechanical Marie, but that may just be that it’s on its second episode and the joke has been entirely run into the ground just yet. It’s only 80% …
John’s 2025 Tokyo Trip Day 6
Phil & I began our day’s adventure by traveling to Asakusa. We exited the train station’s Senso-ji exit, turned left, then headed toward the crowd of people.

Ranma ½ ( 2025) – 02
It’s good that Ranma ½ airs more or less at the same time of the week (for my blogging purposes it’s materially the same time) as Witch Watch. From a mood standpoint they fill absolutely the same slot for me. Abjectly silly comedy that puts a smile on your face and doesn’t make you work …
