Dazai goes to another world and keeps trying to kill himself. I surprisingly didn’t hate this. One of the better isekai this season. It takes a very different approach with the main character having zero interest in fighting or saving the world and just wanting to record people’s stories and try and fail to end …
The Fable – 25 (End) and Series Review
Saturday late night (or actually Sunday early morning, or in practical terms just plain Sunday for me) was a flashy anime time this season. Nige Jouzu, Yatagarasu, Makeine. It had really good shows with a big range of styles. But The Fable was always lurking there in its low-key fashion. Anything but flashy to be …
Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! (Too Many Losing Heroines!) – 12 (End) and Series Review
I started out the day knowing I’d be doing two season finale posts for shows under the A-1 umbrella. If you’d told me neither would come with a sequel announcement, I’d have been very surprised. But the feeling with each is very different. No need to rehash the bleak depression of the Nigewaka situation again …
Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi (The Elusive Samurai) – 12 (End) and Series Review
Well, I’m obviously pretty pissed to be typing that. There was no announcement of any kind at the end of this episode of Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi. And the Occam’s Razor explanation for that is always “that’s it”. One and done. That does happen with WSJ adaptations, though not very often. I’d allowed myself to …
Polling Place for Disaffected Labrador Retrievers and Fall Season Rundown
Aaah, the season of all election ads and lunacy. Stick a fork in “girls in a hobby club” shows, because they’re clearly done. It’s all cheat power reincarnations and RPG worlds, all the time. Especially when it comes to sequels/continuations, because as we wind our way through the once again double digit new iterations of them, …
The Elusive Samurai #12 — General Concerns
Ha ha. Puns. Impressions: I like the idea more than the actual execution. It was largely focused on Kojirou and him learning the Valuable Lesson™ about being a better leader from the dudes he’s commanding. Two issues though, aside from the usual bizarre Cloverworks nonsense, like screenshots of CGI horses over random narrator exposition. …
