The Princess of Snow and Blood #03 — Charlie’s Angels
Lot of crossdressing this week. Impressions: It's definitely leaning into the soap opera intrigue angle more than the badass secret agents angle that I'd prefer, but as…
To Your Eternity #01 — Sad Boys Dying With Alien Wolves
Maximum tragedy. Impressions: This appears to answer the question "What if we remade The Thing, but as a depressing melodrama instead of a horror movie?" An alien…
Seven Knights Revolution #02 — Icy-Hot
I like how the powers so far are fire, ice, and grappeling hook. I was originally soft-planning to cover whichever of Dragon and Combatants was less…
Tokyo Revengers #01 — Ugly Crying
Not so much revenge here, or even the promise of any. Impressions: There's significant irony here in what, by the swelling triumphant background music, is meant to…
Pretty Boy Detective Club #01 — Starstruck Vision
Enough with the goddamned eyes. Impressions: It feels like it's been a very long time since I last watched a Simbo show, and I can't say I missed…
Edens Zero #01 — FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like a distress beacon might have been a better solution. Seven down, two to go, but I need to go outside for a walk and…
Battle Athletes ReSTART #01 — Powered by Corn
I would say potatoes, but there's no pun there. Impressions: After the last few plot 'driven' episodes today, it's weird that this one feels at least slightly paced. It's…
Don’t Tease Me, Nagatoro #01 — Punching Down
Stupid faces abound. Five down and past the halfway point. Impressions: I was certainly correct that this is going to generate a lot of obnoxious screencaps for…
Shadows House #01 — THIS IS SOME GODDAMNED TASTY BREAD
Please stop yelling at me, you strange, highly strung girl. Impressions: Well, it started out playing up the horror angle of the story with a bunch of…
86 #01 — War is Bad
Stay tuned for other hard hitting social remarks. Three out of nine shows for the day down, but this is where I start falling behind as multiple…
Vivy #03 — Babysitting in Space
Feels like we're already struggling with the budget. Impressions: I would say that this episode was a massive step down from the previous, but it was fairly…
I Maxed My Level on Slimes #01 — Obey the Status Screens
Comedy is for other shows. One Saturday show down, eight to go. Impressions: It's almost impressive how devoid of any original thought this show is. It's content…
Blue Reflection Ray #01 — “Oh No, I’m Alive And Exist in Society”
Boy, sure is a lot of existential magical teenage angst this season. I should note that there are a staggering eight new shows premiering tomorrow, plus Vivy's third…
The World Ends With You #01 — Adaptation By Editing Out
Yep, I definitely remember that music. Impressions: There's some real irony that a show based on a complex and at times obnoxiously complicated RPG system is just…
Back Arrow #14 — Giant Non-Lethal Apocalypse Cannon
That's a very convenient giant cannon. Impressions: Of all the ways I thought this obnoxiously-extended arc would end, I'm not sure I would have called "Princess heals…
SSSS.Dynazenon #02 — Enemy Band Geeks
How nice that they're similarly melodramatic. Impressions: I think I'm okay with putting this on the bubble pending a particularly strong episode next week. It didn't do…
Backflip!! #01 — Demerits for Lack of Fidelity to Program Regulations
Boy, that's a lot of CGI. Impressions: I looked this up on the internet, and a group rhythm gymnastics program is 2:15 to 2:30 long. This is…
Idol Land Saga #13 — What Zombies?
We hate our own premise. I will get to the other show today, but it's about rhythm gymnastics, doesn't air for another hour or two, and I…
Fairy Ranmaru #01 — Brought to You By Drugs
Whatever this director is smoking cannot possibly be good for you. Impressions: This answers the question of what you would get if you combined Madoka's visuals with…
Super Cub #01 — Montages of Landscapes
Life is boring, buy Honda. Impressions: I'm not quite sure who the audience for this show is either. People who just want to look at landscapes and…
This Game Sucks #01 — Dark Souls Is Not Popular
Quite the core thesis here. Impressions: It always baffles me when shows attempt to write about something that they have zero actual knowledge of. And it's hard…
The Princess of Snow and Blood #02 — Passive Aggressive Assassination
Sure is a lot of stuff about having sex with children this season. Impressions: Well, on one hand, I would say that the first episode was a…
The Saint’s Magic is Omnipotent #01 — Privilege and Pretty Boys
It's a good thing we cut past months of nothing to get to… nothing. Impressions: Let's see here. Woman is summoned to another world and is given…
Odd Taxi #01 — Please Stop Saying Bruce Springsteen
Not so much observational humor as observational attempts at humor. Impressions: Weirdly, this is also apparently in the genre of "middle aged men in an inappropriate relationship…
I Shaved and Took In a Runaway #01 — Upskirtapalooza
Yeaaaaah, no. Impressions: While not quite as creepy as the other Monday show about an adult hitting on a teenage girl, this is still plenty creepy. Sure, he doesn't try to…
Seven Knights Revolution #01 — Power of Grappling Hook!
Needed more train throwing. Impressions: It's a shame the protagonist here sucks so much. He's carved from the mold of bland dumbasses who stare blankly at everything.…
Farewell My Dear Cramer #01 — Look At Me With Your Special Eyes
I'm not sure the people making this show know anything about soccer. Impressions: Sure, we could focus on that one crazy girl with the insane eyes who…
Dragon Goes Househunting #01 — Obligatory NES Status Screens
No. Bad anime. Stop that. Impressions: Boy, not a great showing for supposedly subversive fantasy humor today, on either the production front or the "understanding what a…
Combatants Will Be Dispatched #01 — Does Have Cleavage
And not a lot else. Impressions: For a show titled Combatants with a character whose schtick is introducing himself as a combatant solely so other characters can…
Vivy #02 — Save the Businessman, Save the World
Did we really need to yell LOGIC BOMB about the electrified impact 'nade? Impressions: Yeah, that's way more like it, even if the budget was a bit…
Vivy – Flourite’s Eye Song #01 — I Robot
Needs more robot apocalypse. This aired both episode 1 and 2 back to back, and while there are quite literally a dozen Saturday shows this season, nine…
Those Snow White Notes #01 — Suddenly, SWAT
What happened to the last five minutes of this episode? Impressions: Another profoundly bizarre show. Sure, most of it is pretty consistently goofily melodramatic, but the last…
Burning Kabaddi #01 — Mico Mico Douga
I don't think this show actually knows anything about streaming or kabaddi. Impressions: I didn't expect this to be good, but good lord, it's almost fascinating just…
Back Arrow #13 — *Aggressively Claps*
This is how we're having people job to that guy? Impressions: I almost want to spend two paragraphs just trying to dissect the new OP. Well, not…
SSSS.Dynazenon #01 — Sad Teenagers in Rain
More teenagers. More angst. More melancholy! There's two high school club things airing later today, plus Back Arrow, but I've got a 4 hour drive to the…
Unionization Potluck Vote and Obligatory Season Rundown
Onward and downward. E: Awesome. Somehow this got posted to March 1st. Maybe that's when I first created the draft. Welp, for all but those of you deep-stalking…
Shaman King #01 — Screaming Hydrocephalic Children
Boy, those character designs sure are… what they are. Oops. First actual terrestrial broadcast of the season. Season preview is officially late. Let me just get through…
Nightmare on Egg Street #12 — The Dream Warrior vs Mr Head
What a script. I know I said season preview on Wednesday, but it's probably going to be Thursday, or Wednsday evening at best. Blame laziness and Wonder…
The Princess of Snow and Blood #01 — League of Extraordinary Haikus
Aaah, casual murder. Yet another early webcast. Broadcast begins April 6th. Starting to wonder if all the simulcast companies got a deal to premiere things a week…
MARS RED #01 — Vampire Recitations
Stop making vampires boring. And another early webcast. Broadcast also starts on April 5th. If I procrastinate enough, maybe everything will have an early webcast before I…
It’s Disgusting to Call This Love #01 — Stalking, Grooming, and Other Felonies
This season is not off to a great start. Early webcast. Actual broadcast starts on April 5th. Impressions: There's… a lot that's deeply, profoundly unpleasant about this…
Godzilla – Singularity Point #01 — May Or May Not Include Any Godzillas
Shouldn't there be a few more giant monsters? This technically begins broadcasting on April 1st, but Netflix is airing each episode a week early, so it began…
Back Arrow #12 — Stand By Your Man
A real paragon of independence, Ren is. Impressions: It's a bit weird that being impaled to the side of a wall by a spear the size of…
Wander Org Primary #11 — Have You Tried Unplugging It?
Oh boy, you know how much I love episodes that are entirely flashbacks! I know the low-res is unusual lately, but I'm tired of waiting for the…
Back Arrow #11 — Skeet Shooting
Isn't everybody constantly jumping into the air to fight anyway? Impressions: Boy, the first half of this episode was dismal. A full two minutes recapping the previous…
Awe Spawn Preference #10 — Short Attention Span
Focus, you idiots. Impressions: It doesn't reflect well on our main characters when they're confronting the evil brains in mannequins, and are distracted by getting to the…
Back Arrow #10 — Jabba the Explodey
Uh, right. Impressions: The thing that gets me about the Jekyll and Hyde routine is that there are some people who can obviously see when the Princess…
Nonpareil Roe Importance #09 — Lucky Albinos
How does an albino have heterochromia exactly? Impressions: It's neat that they took a week off and then came back with this absolute fiasco of an episode.…
Back Arrow #09 — Urine Trouble
Surprise backstory hour. Impressions: Are we really going to be stuck here in this idiot kingdom for an extended arc? If we are, why are we doing…
Amazing Seed Issue #08 — No New Episode, Bye
Oh, a recap. Holy hell, it feels like it's been forever since a show threw in a surprise garbage clips show recap. Maybe I just watch the 'wrong'…
