Another week, another jaw-dropping episode of Pluto. Each one is a little masterpiece in its own right, and this one was no exception. I feel as if two things were made absolutely clear here. First, if there were any concerns that the narrative would be thrown off by the absence of Gesicht, they were summarily …
Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2 – 21
Does the fact that I just don’t care about any of this make me a bad person? Because I don’t, not really. None of this Lucy or Philomela stuff has any emotional traction with me – it’s just static. You can’t just drop new characters out of the sky and expect me to get all …
