I don’t think they actually know what gorillas are. Impressions: It’s the closest thing to an actual comedy of the three Sunday shows calling themeselves one, but that’s a very low bar to clear. That’s not even taking the exceptionally weird premise into account. Everybody gets a blessing from a random animal god in …
Maebashi Witches #01 — An Assault on Aesthetics
Finding a way to be offensive to the maximum number of senses. Impressions: This show is… exhausting on every level. Painful even. Well beyond just being boring or soulless.

Not sure if opening a new ticket daily will help, but willing to try. Impressions: It’s certainly a Jump comedy. You want sudden, abrupt overreactions as your joke? Well, ya …

It has numerous Japanese translations (Anne-taku like Princess Usagi bicker over which is the best) and at least two manga. And anime is no …
