The truth is, JItsu wa Watashi wa #6 is another terrific 22 minutes of comedy. Read more

Kyoukai no Rinne – 19
It’s sure funny, but boy – this show is actually pretty dark. There’s a sort of ruthlessness to Kyoukai no Rinne that I find really appealing, and I don’t think there’s any doubt it does wonders for the humor, too. When you step back and think about it, some of […] Read more
Ore Monogatari!! – 19
Anytime this series goes to the hospital, that’s an episode you don’t want to miss. It’s no secret that Ore Monogatari!! is at its best when it’s bittersweet, because the rest of the time it’s merely sweet. I love desserts, but any dish that can offer complexity and subtlety of […] Read more
Diamond no Ace Season 2 – 19
Why in the world are they still sliding into first base?? And some other stuff happens too… Read more
Akagami no Shirayukihime – 06
You couldn’t swing a dead squirrel without hitting a prince this week. This has turned out to be quite the interesting anime season. Not a great one by any means, but certainly unusual in that the best series (with some help from spring carryovers) have neatly arranged themselves by genre […] Read more
Shokugeki no Souma – 18

When will the dog learn – this cat has claws… The anime competition is pretty fierce at the moment – Ushio and Tora, Working!!!, Baby Steps and Gangsta have put on a masterful display this week of how to execute their genres and demographics pretty much flawlessly. But let there […] Read more
Gangsta – 06
Of all the myriad Seinfeld quotes that seem to fit every possible situation that presents itself in life, perhaps none is so useful to the anime blogger as “It’s so nice when it happens good.” I’m starting to get that giddy feeling with Gangsta – that one that hits somewhere […] Read more
Baby Steps Season 2 – 19
Poor Sasaki-chan – she’s definitely been broken at love. How do you follow up an emotional blockbuster like last week’s episode of Baby Steps? Well, the answer of course is that you can’t. It’s tough enough to do so in any type of series, but with a sports anime especially […] Read more
Working!!! – 06
A master class in comedy like that is a joy on so many levels. The only thing I didn’t like about this episode of Working is that it takes us one step closer to there being no more episodes of Working. Comedy is somewhat unique in that when it’s at […] Read more
