It’s not as though I can point to any single extraordinary element of that episode, but it was one of my favorites so far. Everything flowed and came together seamlessly, the story was interesting, and the humor clicked. I also quite enjoyed the interaction between Maomao and her “father” (I’m starting to develop my own …
Patron Pick Fall 2023: Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen – 08
I realize I’ve used the word a ridiculous number of times already in relation to Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen. But how can I not keep repeating “shameless” with episodes like that one? It’s a double-barrelled assault, because while the wholesomeness is the main weapon, the tail gunner is in there with the puns too. …
The Apothecary Diaries #08 — Gratuitous Bath Scene

It makes the same mistake that so many of these anime mysteries do. The fun is in the procedural part; investigating, interacting with various colorful …

Scanlan’s plan to leave an Immovable Rod (well, short sword, but same difference) inside a dragon has quasi-succeeded, while leaving plenty …
Shut-In Vampire Princess #08 — Torture Porn
This cult badly needs someone intelligent in it. Impressions: I really don’t know what anybody’s plan here was.

Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2 – 20
If I’m honest, the first part of this episode was a complete snooze for me. I just don’t care that much about Philomela and worse, I don’t even really get why I’m supposed to care. There just hasn’t been the buildup necessary for a storyline to dominate the way this one has. And half an …
