And so it ends. And my AotY dilemma begins, though there are only two shows in the running for it at least. Recency bias can be a hurdle in that process to begin with, but certainly minutes after finishing a series is not the time to begin it. It’s a nice problem to have as …
Weekly Digest 12/10/2023 – Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2, Spy x Family Season 2
Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2 – 22 Back to digest mode for Mahoutsukai. But honestly, at this point that was the only way I was going to be able to cover it. I’m thoroughly bored with all this, and nothing that’s happened since Morrigan exited stage left has been of much interest. The scene with …

This show sure has a hard on for poisoning babies. Impressions: I feel like I’ve said my piece at this point about why the mystery isn’t working for me, and as we approach the end of this cour at least and it keeps trying to act like all these tiny non-mysteries are part of …
