Oh boy, even more yelling. Impressions: I can’t say that this is winning me over, but it is staying firmly… okay.

Given that immense starting bias, Shuumatsu Touring’s been on my radar since the preseason. …
May I Ask One Last Thing #03 — Woman Sits
Look at that story blaze ahead. Impressions: The terrible writing of episode two continues, with even less punching, and my hopes for this show continue to crumble.
