Yes, believe it or not, he actually got freakier. Two eps in a row without Onoda, apart from a cameo and the omake this week? It’s a stretch, especially given that we’ve only got three more episodes left until the hiatus, but this whole inter-high arc is taking on a […] Read more
What a strange and beguiling little series this is. It was announced this week that Gaworare is going to get an OAD this December (a Christmas episode, written by the original author, Takei Touka). That’s nice to hear, especially as we’re certainly not going to get another season – I’ve […] Read more
Against all odds, Gokukoku no Brynhildr got even more awesome. OP2: Virtue and Vice” by Fear, and loathing in Las Vegas I must confess I did a bit of a double-take when the new OP for Gokukoku no Brynhildr kicked in – I thought it was some kind of in-episode […] Read more
“Helm’s Deep” “The Watchers on the Wall” Not much for me to do here, really – you saw it. And if you didn’t, you certainly shouldn’t be reading this post. The 9th episode of any Game of Thrones season can pretty much be assumed to mean one thing – epic. […] Read more

SquareSphere joined the ranks of Patreon patrons last week – many thanks! Squaresphere requested something on Leorio, so here you go… “Ode to a Butt-monkey” He seems useless, but He got mad doc skills. Besides, Someone has to drive Read more
You can skip the well drinks – that was top-shelf stuff right there, the good stuff. This episode of Baby Steps was awesome every day and twice on Sundays, and since it’s Sunday that means it was even more awesome. As I said last week, it was very obvious that […] Read more
The baka looked at the baka from across the diamond, and their eyes met… Episode 35 of Ace of Diamond certainly gave us a long-awaited showdown, but it took an unusual route in getting us there. This was about an interesting outing as I’ve seen for Furuya for starters, and […] Read more
Moments like we saw this week are why shows like Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii are such a welcome part of the anime scene. I only wish we got more shows like it. I won’t make the argument that this series has been absolutely consistent, but there have been constants even […] Read more
