Otaku Elf
A true anime fan’s anime. Perfect from start to finish and throughout every aspect, this is 100% an anime that an anime fan should like.
Tonikawa: Over the Moon for You
What a magnificent mixture of slice of life and rom-com and a little mystery and total cuteness! This show is full of heartwarming moments and beautiful characters. It’s so simple yet so sweet, I looked forward to this every week as I watched the simulcasts. You wouldn’t think a show that dwells on the ordinary as much as this one […]
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
The award for Kawaii-est of the Kawaii for 2022 goes to…
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!
“Put that ass away!”
Sabikui Bisco
Sabikui Bisco is one of those wild shounen anime that brings back fun memories of a bygone era in the world of anime. And I really like it. Hang on a second while I crank up my giant crab, and we’ll get started.
The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated
A popular manga and a lot of fanfare don’t always translate to a successful anime. The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated had both and still only turned out mildly interesting.
Komi Can’t Communicate
This is how anime should be.
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.
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.
Mieruko-chan
A very curious anime. And it’s spectacular!
The Detective is Already Dead
This was bad.
Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy
Another predictable isekai anime? Really? No Hawk, it’s parody. Oh, it’s parody, you say—well that just makes everything better doesn’t it?
My Next Life as a Villainess
All routes lead to doom! Our poor protagonist (antagonist?) finds herself reincarnated into an otome game where she’s the villain! In a rarer form of isekai where a girl finds herself transported to a new world, this show is funny and fast-paced with amazing characters and beautiful artwork. Definitely one of my favorites from the 2020 lineup! S2 just wrapped […]
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
This could be the sweetest, most ridiculous anime ever made! The name says it all. It’s about a dragon who becomes a maid for Miss Kobayashi! It’s cute, heartfelt, silly, borderline ecchi at times, and so much fun!
