“Binetsuma (微熱魔)” by ZUTOMAYO (ずっと真夜中でいいのに。) Aharen-san wa Hakarenai is back. And to be honest, it’s not a scenario I ever expected. This series had “one and done” written all over it, the latest in a string of similarly quirky and charming romcons with modest followings. The first season was certainly well-received but the manga has …
First Impressions – Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals
OP: “Kekka Alright (けっかおーらい)” by Kocchi no Kento (こっちのけんと) The other half of this season’s big four both premiere today, and it’s a stupidly busy anime day for a Monday. Heroes are very much the theme here, but that tempts me into a little sidebar. Bones really are heroes of the TV anime industry. They …
Chuuzenji’s Demon Lectures #01 — Failing to Solve Lost and Founds
Detectives these days are pathetic. Impressions: What’s amazing to me about this show isn’t the godawful production values. Yes, you’re seeing those screencaps correctly.

Sword of the Demon Hunter #02 — Daddy Issues

I’ll get to it probably this afternoon after I’ve had a chance to… not deal with this goddamned BS that has …
#Compass 2.0 #01 — Obligatory Idols
Obligatory everything, honestly. Impressions: At least it was relatively well animated for an action show, but it was completely incomprehensible. Well, relatively. You could cut a few clips out and be impressed at least. I imagine that fans of the game probably have at least some idea who all these characters are and what’s …
Spring 2025 Impressions: Shin Samurai-den Yaiba, Kowloon Generic Romance, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl
Shin Samurai-den Yaiba Short Synopsis: A young swordsman raised in the jungle is shipped off to live at the dojo of his father’s rival. Lenlo: You know, there’s something almost nostalgic about an almost 40 year old Shounen. It just feels… fun, like it lacks a lot of the self-serious trappings so many modern series …
