RJ Writing Ink’s Picks for Fall 2024 Anime Summer’s over, so it’s time for the cozier part of the year to begin. Fortunately, when we’re not outside enjoying the changing weather and prepping for Halloween (and Thanksgiving), we can enjoy plenty of anime beneath the comfort of a warm blanket. And this year, it looks …
Puniru is a Cute Slime #01 — Serial Dysmorphia
Wherein I mostly compare it to other better comedies. Grieving Soul basically re-ran the first episode. Sure, the first ended with saying they were off to do a quest, but first they needed to test their mettel in a pre-quest. So they had the two characters who fought last week, spar again this week.

Re:Zero S3 Short Synopsis: Season 3 of Re:Zero. Lenlo: The premier Isekai is back, with a triple length pilot episode! And you know what? It was… alright. Probably didn’t need to be an hour and a half, and some of the issues from the previous season like characters not shutting up and getting to the …
