And we are finally done with being teleported and given cheat powers. Quasi-Impressions: I’m going to use this as a dumping ground for the rest of the Sunday shows because I blipped through all three and really don’t want to actually sit down and fully engage with any of them. This one’s the easiest. …
Red Ranger Adventurer #01 — Large Round Objects
Nice hat. Impressions: Oof. Weekends are looking pretty awful this season when a Jump show is at the top. As expected here, about 98% of the jokes are the girl smuggling basketballs in her bra saying “That is the wrong cliche for this setting” when he does a cliche sentai thing. I’m not sure …
First (and Second) Impressions – Sakamoto Days

First Impressions Digest – Übel Blatt, Babanbabanban Vampire

And ironically that of course was my big worry going in. But some elements of the writing definitely aren’t clicking with me yet. And there are some visual …
