Wonder Egg Priority
A beautifully sad parade of personalities.
Platinum End
One of the few real-world issues I will lament in this forum is the unhappy love of death that occasionally finds its way into Japanese anime. This show, Platinum End, is another iteration of the kind of show that’s obsessed with death and dying. While this anime is intriguing at times, ultimately it is completely overshadowed by that darkness which […]
Aquatope on White Sand
Does anybody know what an “aquatope” is?
Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department
A little hilarious, a little confusing, a little pretty, a little relatable even, Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department combines the fantastical with the mundane and does it pretty well.

We’ve had enough of these essay-length titles! Let’s just use a number for a title!
Ranking of Kings
As Bojji would put it, “Aaa aaa aa aaaaauhaaa!” Or, as Kage would translate for me: I hate this show.
White Album
This is one of the finest examples of anime drama I have ever seen.
Wave, Listen to Me!
I love this show! You know I love unique efforts in anime. And you know I tend to categorize individual anime based on whether the series is driven by its characters, artwork, or story. It’s a rare bonus when the soundtrack for a show plays a big role in any of those factors. It’s an even rarer bonus when purely […]
Trigun
Another great example of late 1990s anime! Beautiful art style, winding storylines that don’t quite fit a single genre (for more reasons than one here), and entertaining characters that scream nostalgia and classics. Trigun is above all entertaining, and has some academically interesting parts as well. It’s somewhere between a masterpiece and a giant mess though, and it’s sometimes difficult […]
Nichijou
Jou-jou-yuujou magi magi kaichou! This whole review could be the translation of that entire second half opening and pretty sufficiently describe this show. Other possibilities include me simply repeating “Omg, what is this?” as I close my mouth previously agape with shock and laugh my head off, tears rolling down my face.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
This is not typical isekai. This show is way off the ordinary isekai track. Most isekai shows are subjected, unfairly I believe, to the charge of being very cookie-cutter, sharing too many characteristics, to the point that one seems very much like a copy of the next. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation definitely does everything it can to buck that label. […]
Tawawa on Monday
Monday is a terrible day of the week isn’t it? It’s disliked worldwide it seems. Boy did one illustrator find a solution with this series! And it has gone on a horni boi rampage ever since.
Mieruko-chan
A very curious anime. And it’s spectacular!
Ganbare Douki-chan
The phrase “short and sweet” was made for this anime. Emphasis on “sweet.”
The Detective is Already Dead
This was bad.
Remake Our Life!
We reserve a special kind of feeling for regrets, an emotion somewhere between sadness and anger. Sadness because the opportunity is gone, anger because we know things could have been very different. Sometimes the simple fact that others chose a path we didn’t and end up seemingly successful and happy makes the feeling worse. And on top of it all […]
