Komi Can’t Communicate
This is how anime should be.
Aharen is Indecipherable
If I could write this review in a whisper, it would be very appropriate. Imagine, the text being so quiet that you have to get really close to…
Wonder Egg Priority
A beautifully sad parade of personalities.
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!
“Put that ass away!”
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,…
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…
86
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Komi Can’t Communicate
This is how anime should be.
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.”
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…
Girlfriend, Girlfriend
This isn’t the kind of harem that you meet out in the streets and be like “Hey how you doing? How’s the family?” This is the kind of…
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…
Shiki
Shiki is a really good vampire story, until suddenly it isn’t.
The Duke of Death and His Maid
Good CGI does exist. And yet that’s not even close to being the best thing about this show.
I’m Standing on a Million Lives
I honestly watched this show this year because I knew Chiwa Saito was playing Kahabell (the sadistic knight if you’re not super familiar with the names yet). I…
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,…
To Your Eternity
Few of us will ever experience what it feels like to fall in love at first sight. But here, in To Your Eternity, I think we all got…
OsaMake
This is not harem. This is raging steroid harem.
Shimoneta
What do I think of Shimoneta? I think it’s perhaps one of the stupidest, most shameless, mind-numbingly insane, funniest shows ever made! This show fires off one hilarious…
Land of the Lustrous
A strange and wonderful experience!
Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro
This show knows what it is and doesn’t give a hoot whether you like it or not! But I do like it.
86
We’ve had enough of these essay-length titles! Let’s just use a random number for a title! I guess it’s a random number. If there’s significance to the “86”…
Higehiro
Hige o Soru, Soshite Joshi Kousei o Hirou is another of those modern anime afflicted with a paragraph for a title. I don’t understand how we went from…
Mars Red
I like this anime for a small handful of reasons. Otherwise it’s just confusing and therefore impossible to like or really even dislike overall.
Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song
I took one look at this title and thought: none of these words go together. It sounded enough like music anime that I decided not to watch it…
Zombie Land Saga
It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry, it’ll make you cringe! And sometimes, all three at once! Zombie Land Saga is one of the funniest yet emotionally…
Combatants Will Be Dispatched!
The references were Overt. The comedy was Hilarious. The cringe was Real. The madness was Unabated. The ecchi was Egregious. The language was Gutter. The crass was Unbridled.…
Jouran: The Princess of Snow and Blood
I looked forward to this anime as the Spring 2021 season approached, and while my initial enthusiasm wasn’t rewarded completely, I enjoyed this show. It started with a…
Neon Genesis Evangelion
A great series at the pinnacle of a great time in the history of anime! A prototype for all subsequent mecha anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion had a massive…
Gokushufudou
That single word translates to “The Way of the Househusband.” And that title pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this short series.
Redo of Healer
Wow this is one disturbing anime. I’d heard the rumors, so I figured I should watch it and see what all the fuss was about. I found out.…
Golden Boy
Boobs, bidets, bikes, and benkyou!
Claymore
I like Claymore. It’s a bit different and a bit typical all at the same time. Occasionally I talk about how typical can work, how it’s not always…
Serial Experiments Lain
Ascendence. Transcendence. Unknown. Supernatural. Technology. Fear. These things need not have anything in common, but more often than not, for better or worse, the human race considers them…
Deadman Wonderland
There is such a thing as obsession with death. I hope none of you have ever encountered it, and I hope you never will. The mentality that imagined…
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
If this was supposed to be a boob show, it wasn’t. If this was supposed to be school action/fantasy, it wasn’t. If this was supposed to be romance,…
