Color me confused. I’ll get to my main issue right off the bat – I have no clue what’s happening, why it’s happening, or why I should care about either of those things. Look, it’s definitely not a bad thing for any show to keep a few cards up its sleeve, and if it’s a […]

Yes, I genuinely like the pun. Given the synopsis, I was fully ready to experience something… well, pervy, for lack of a better term. What I wasn’t ready…

Let’s all ganbaru together.
Anime Taste Testing: Pet
An adult anime for teenage edgelords. It seems that nearly every time I see a psychological genre anime marketed explicitly towards the seinen crowd, it feels exactly like…
Anime Taste Testing: Gibiate
This one’s gonna be quick and dirty, because to be honest, I didn’t even make it through the whole first episode.
Anime Taste Testing: ID:Invaded
Finally, the detective anime we didn’t know we needed (but that we definitely deserved). You’d be forgiven for wanting to give up on the anime detective/mystery genre entirely…
