If ever a series were bubblicious, it’s Trillion Game. It doesn’t have anything about it that especially stands out. But it does deliver what it promises. Even when Madhouse isn’t trotting out their A game their shows have a look, and Trillion Game has it. And while nothing here is flamboyantly exceptional, everything here is …
Kekkon suru tte, Hontou desu ka (365 Days to the Wedding) – 03
I continue to be pretty impressed by 365 Days to the Wedding. Even in a crowded season’s crowded-est day it stands out as intelligently written and distinctive.
