Tens and an eleven (how did Tokidoki Bosotto get ahead, anyway?)
Yuki and Kuze show off their scary looks. Tokidoki Bosotto 11 gets back to the story, well, after some cute “Kuze-kun’s sick so I have to go and…

Patron Pick Summer 2024: Shoushimin Series – 10 (Season Finale)
Ironically given the series' title and theoretically its central theme, Shoushimin suffered from nothing about it really being extraordinary.
Nines and a Ten
Say “Aahh …” Tokidoki Bosotto 10 thankfully doesn’t digress as much into silly territory like it did last week, but there’s no straightforward story either. There̵…

Top Five Anime Openings (OPs) of the Summer 2024 Season

Eights and a nine (late, sorry)
I’ll do that for this episode. Tokidoki Bosotto 9 wastes an episode with only one meaningful thing in it. Alya, though she won the debate, feels sorry for…

Patron Pick Summer 2024: Shoushimin Series – 08
For me at least the ship has long since sailed on Shoushimin Series being remotely realistic.
Sevens and an eight
Dramatic camera framing. “Should teachers recommend or appoint student council officers” or something like that, is the story in Tokidoki Bosotto this week, or rather, the big debate.…

Patron Pick Summer 2024: Shoushimin Series – 07
It’s always a bit of a minefield when pure slice-of-life series get serious in their final episodes.
Sevens and sixes
Yeshi-yeshi. Onto the sevens, mostly. Tokidoki Bossoto etc’s episode spends most of its time examining the relationships between most of the main characters. First we get the odd…

I almost expected him to light a cigarette.
Various fours through sixes
