The bugs are getting bigger, right alongside the plot. No Haiyore! as a dance partner for Mushibugyou this week, but that’s fine – I’m more than happy to give this series its own post. Occasionally I get one right, and I think I did when I pegged this series as […] Read more
I don’t think I reacted to this development in Haiyore! as I was intended to. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 06 I don’t tend to think much of the episodes where Haiyore! Nyaruko-san tries to get serious, but this is one of the better examples so far. It certainly isn’t thanks […] Read more
