“We must hurry! Protect the urine!” Aoharu X Kikanjuu – 02 I have to admit I got pretty bored by the latter stages of this ep of Aoharu X Kikanjuu. I still quite like the visual style, but I don’t find any of the characters especially interesting and the execution […] Read more
A VRMMORPG? What could possibly go wrong? Himouto! Umari-chan – 01 I can sum up my reasons for giving this series a shot in two words: Oota Masahiko. And that’s no exaggeration. I can truthfully say there’s nothing else in the premise that would have made me give Himouto! Umaru-chan […] Read more
When you look at a batch of shows like this, the best one on screen isn’t always the best-looking one on paper. Rokka no Yuusha – 01 There might have been a time when I found Rokka no Yuusha engaging, but to be honest this light novel adaptation left me […] Read more
You think that was bad, you should see what it’s like during a big sale at Mitsukoshi. Classroom☆Crisis – 01 Full disclosure: I didn’t make it through the entire first episode of Classroom☆Crisis. I think it’s always important to note that so as not to give the impression that I’m […] Read more

In the name of all that’s holy, Gil, please blow it up. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 09 This has been kind of an odd season for Sidonia no Kishi. Compared to the first the story really hasn’t progressed all that much – partly because of an increased […] Read more
Sidonia no Kishi is starting to resemble one of the strangest reality shows you’ll ever see. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 08 On the face of it, not a whole lot of ink need be spilled over this episode of Sidonia no Kishi. It was a sitcom ep […] Read more
I’ve heard of self-loathing, but this is ridiculous. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 07 For a Sidonia episode with this much comedy in it, this week’s effort was surprisingly good. In fact I’d wager to say it was about the best yet in terms of humor, though parts […] Read more
Sidonia is developing one of the weirdest love triangles in recent anime history. Owari no Seraph – 07 If Owari no Seraph were a one-cour show I obviously would have committed one way or the other by now, but because it’s a split-cour I’ve let this drag out longer […] Read more
