Dimension W is, I think, a series very wedded to anime history. And as such, I think it prioritizes differently than most shows we see produced these days. Read more

Boku Dake ga Inai Machi – 12 (End) and Series Review
I have everything to say and nothing at the moment, because this has been a pretty draining ride for me. Read more
Concrete Revolutio – 13 (Season Finale)
Concrete Revolutio doesn’t seem to be the anime we wanted, but it might just be the anime we needed. I’ve had the increasing sense while watching Concrete Revolutio – and never more so than this week – that this is an anime that will be regarded as a classic say, […] Read more
Working!!! Lord of the Takanashi (Series Finale)
That was everything I hoped it would be, and more. There’s only one thing wrong with a series finale as great as “Lord of the Takanashi”. Namely, it was so good that it makes the pain of knowing it was the finale that much more acute. if “always leave them […] Read more
Noragami Aragoto – 13 (End) and Series Review
I knew I was right not to trust that kid… And so we come to the end of another season of Noragami. And so we once again are left to muse on whether we’re going to see more. If pressed I’d say I’m somewhat less optimistic than I was last […] Read more

Subete ga F ni Naru–11 (End) and Series Review
Ending or not, that felt like a fitting conclusion. Without a doubt, coming into the season I viewed Subete ga F ni Naru as the appetizer for NoitaminA mystery, with next season’s Boku Dake ga Inai Machi as the main course. I still feel Boku Dake is going to be […] Read more
Kekkai Sensen – 12 (End) and Series Review
Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Yes and no – but this one was already pretty fond. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to write about Kekkai Sensen – just a little over three months, in fact. And that’s too long, given the circumstances behind this […] Read more
Jitsu wa Watashi wa – 13 (End) and Series Review
The last finale of the season (not counting Manglobe, apparently) comes from one of its most underrated simple pleasures. Read more
