Technically speaking, I guess I should have titled this an “End” post rather than a season finale. This is not officially a split cour, and there’s been no official announcement of a sequel (and timetable). But we didn’t need that *see you next x mission” end card to know it’s only a matter of time. …
Patron Pick Fall 2023: Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen – 12 (End) and Series Review
If ever a show came along I’d expect to have its cake and eat it too, it’s Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen. It’s grounded in something rather serious, but executed mostly in the realms of fantasy.

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto – 12
Cour one of Kusuriya no Hitorigoto comes to an end, with what I might call a pretty typical transition episode. Some multi-cour series choose to treat these as just another week, but I rather like it when an effort is made to make them feel like both a reflection and a look forward. It was …
Dr. STONE New World P2 – 10/11 [Treasure Island/Beyond the New World]

At some point. Over Christmas. God …
The Apothecary Diaries #12 — Collective Punishment
You could just skip over the horrific violence instead of explicitly bringing it up, you know. This show’s off for at least a week for the holidays. Also, Zom100’s last three episodes are airing as a special on Christmas day. I’ll get to it eventually, but for obvious reasons, it won’t be with my …
Shut-In Vampire Princess #11 — Talking is Always a Free Action
Shut up and be stabbed. Impressions: On one hand, the plot certainly got accelerated as hell this episode. On the other hand, more than once, that manifested as skipping past things that really seemed like they could’ve/should’ve been major events while introducing absolutely random stuff at the same time. Apparently there’s a peasant uprising …
