I almost feel guilty liking Red Cat Ramen as much as I do. A show about either cats or ramen would already have a big head start with me (though there are plenty – they still have to actually be good). But one about both? That’s a first as far as I’m aware. Layer in …
Pseudo Harem #03 — Artistic Styles
Why not do segments in those styles? Come on, show some flair. Oh god. This new WordPress update slightly broke my editing interface. Ugh. Impressions: It’s stil cute enough, but… yeah.

“Oshi no Ko” Season 2 – 03

With all due respect to Yonaoshi Kyodai-hen – which is really rather a lot – for me this is the true premiere of Sengoku Youko. Both in the sense that this is when Mizukami’s writing goes from good to great, and that the “World Reform Siblings” arc was truly a prologue. Like all good prologues …
