Douse yourself in water, and repent – heso forte is back! Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Crystal – 02 So the new Sailor Moon turns out to be a bi-weekly series, interestingly enough. And the second ep turns out to be somewhat better than the first one, though I pretty much […] Read more
Right now Glasslip is like a P.A. Works cover band – everything basically looks and sounds as it’s supposed to, but the experience is strictly superficial. Glasslip – 03 To a certain extent I do see improvement with Glasslip, but there’s enough good shows this season to where if it […] Read more
Two shows, same, studio, each primarily on my radar because of one man – but the experiences are intriguingly different. Love Stage!! – 02 I certainly enjoyed the first episode of Love Stage quite a lot. I’d give an educational series on canine oral hygiene a couple of episodes to […] Read more
Someone really should have worked it out so Ao Haru Ride aired before Nozaki-kun, because watching it the next day is a little… Ao Haru Ride – 02 When it comes to shoujo, I tend to like those that take themselves a little less seriously even when dealing with serious […] Read more
Let’s give this format a shot and see how it turns out… Diamond no Ace – 39 In the never-ending quest to try and survive Sundays, I thought I’d combine two sports shows this week, as they certainly make sense as a thematic pairing for a digest post. I definitely […] Read more

Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen – 02 Thursdays have always tended to be one of the two busiest days for decent anime, thanks in part to the former tradition of NoitaminA having two shows every season worth following. This season is a prime […] Read more
When it comes to anime blogging, weekends are survival of the fittest. Haikyuu!! – 14 The new season has me in a bit of a pinch, schedule-wise. Sundays were (as usual) the busiest day of the week last season, and that problem has only gotten worse with most of my […] Read more
Here’s a couple of premieres from substantially farther down the expectations list. Rail Wars! – 01 It’s fair to say I didn’t come into Rail Wars! with huge expectations, but as someone who loves trains and generally dislikes privatization, the idea of a series where JR was still government-owned and […] Read more
A squirrel or a bust – which would you choose, Akari? Sidonia no Kishi – 10 I’m quite stumped as to where Sidonia no Kishi is headed with only three episodes left. The story is definitely still in the expansion phase with no signs of that reversing soon, and the […] Read more
I’ll say this for Sidonia no Kishi – it’s certainly giving us an interesting love triangle. Boy, placenta, and gender unspecified (though there is the annoying overachiever XO Midorikawa in there too). Sidonia no Kishi – 09 There was an interesting development in the world of Sidonia no Kishi this […] Read more
