Overdosing on Cod Liver Oil at the Behest of the Spring Season Rundown
I hate current events. Sorry. I'm cowardly blaming my host here for the lateness because as bad as stability has been on the client side, it's been that…
I’m the Evil Overlord #01 — Mister Nice Guy
On the up side, this may legitimately be the worst show of the next season. And year. This had a two episode pre-air online special on Abema…
Memento Yuri #13 — “Hey, Check Out Our Dead Friend”
Yeah, that's not a weird or creepy way to introduce yourselves to people. My web host's servers remain on fire for a 9th straight day, and it's…
Twilight Hotel #12 — I Declare Redo
…Great. Impressions: I wasn't expecting much of an ending, and I can't say it delivered one. Most of the first half was spent changing all the rules…
Memento Yuri #11 — The Clone Wars
Yeah, yeah. Called it. Impressions: Yeeeep. Pretty much just a massive info-dump episode, but I called about 98% of it. Everybody's clones and part of the invasion…
Aquarion MOE #08 — Trash Time
Another exciting episode. Impressions: All right. Like Ubel Blatt, I know it's late, both in the season, and long past where I should have, but I'm pretty…
Aquarion MOE #07 — Behold My Evil Egg
I miss the attempted stabbing. Impressions: With Momentary Lily actually putting out a good episode, it makes the holding pattern that this show continues to be in…
Übel Blatt #06 — Men Crying, A Lot
Maybe cry some more, dudes. You've only seen this exact tragedy four times in the last 24 hours. Impressions: While Aquarion is threatening to tick up slightly,…
Twilight Hotel #06 — Jazz Cats
At least there was violence against children. Impressions: Very uneventful episode, but that's what happens when you put the resident serial killer in timeout and don't let…
Memento Yuri #06 — A Lesson in Deepfakes
Let's make some softcore porn. AI has no idea what that is. Impressions: At least next week looks like they're finally returning to the plot, which in…
Twilight Hotel #05 — A Cinderella Story
I don't think this is how Cinderella goes. Impressions: I continue to be more interested in this show for what it could have been rather than what…
Memento Yuri #05 — Brought To You By The Nintendo Switch
The console of choice of the apocalypse. Impressions: More of Reaction Faces: The Episode than anything else. Ostensibly it was about the boob monster and the gamer,…
Übel Blatt #03 — Sad Teenagers and Delicate Beefcakes
…Uh, okay. Just slow today because I'm profoundly unmotivated. Impressions: Well, on the plus side, this episode was stupid enough to go out the other side and…
Aquarion MOE #03 — Bird Brains
Template template template template. Impressions: My patience with this show is rapidly wearing thin. No, I don't even want to try to make a joke about the…
Übel Blatt #02 — Old Men Rambling Interminably
Exciting times in fantasy land. Impressions: I hadn't really processed that I had cast aside basically everything but the Thursday and Friday shows this season, but I…
Aquarion MOE #02 — Live, Die, Repeat
Frankly, there need to be more robot stabbings. Impressions: This is putting too many eggs in the basket of being mysterious about its setting when it's not…
Sakamoto Days #01 — Another Jump Assassin
How was this one of the less yelly shows? Two episode premiere, but… eh. It's Jump. Also, I need to go out for a bit and I'd…
Übel Blatt #01 — Abusing Children For Fun
That frame at top right is sending me for some reason. Impressions: The good news it that this is apparently skipping the entire first prelude volume of…
Guild Receptionist #01 — Premise Recitation
Please stop saying the title. You're killing me here. Impressions: I didn't have very high expectations, but CloverWorks has been enough of a wildcard as a studio…
Welcome to Japan, Elf #01 — The Majesty of Japan
Just shag already. Like yesterday, there are a ton of new shows today, plus Apothecary Diaries restarts, and I'll at least glance at the hotel and golf…
Anyway, I’m in Love With You #01 — Girl Stares Blankly Forward
Thrilling stuff. Impressions: Okay, fine. This is clearly not the bottom of the barrel for the day, not when multiple cheat power trash farms exist, but it's…
Aquarion – Myth of Emotions #01 — …Where’s the Big Kaboom?
In many senses. There's five premieres today, plus Momentary Lily's second episode, and since I slept in a bit, five of the six shows were up by the…
Ameku Takao #03 — Unmysterious
Those epilepsy warnings are there for a reason. Impressions: If it takes a super genius detective to say "Hey, maybe we should look into that video that…
Flowers Bloom #01 — Books on TV
Wishbone this ain't. Impressions: These "girls are anxious" things rarely work for me, and this isn't one of the better ones. What if you were already doing…
Medaka Kuroiwa Doesn’t Like Me #01 — Screaming at People
Maybe if we berate you enough, that'll change your mind. Impressions: And we finish Monday with another teenager supposed rom com, which is actually mostly just a…
I Learned Magic #01 — Charts and Graphs
Now that's the good stuff. Impressions: I like how he goes right from learning a basic little fire cantrip to creating sentient magical creatures to start an…
Promise of Wizard #01 — Not a Monocle in Sight
Pathetic. I'll get to the other two shows in a few hours. I have… so many work e-mails to catch up on, and they're both almost certainly…
Total Rewrite #01 — Work Will Set You Free
Subtlety Sunday! Impressions: Uh, yeah. Any merits that this may have are going to be drowned out by it being a studio wracked by scandals about overworking…
Princess Lessons #01 — Letterboxing Means Drama
Expert level directing here. Sorry these are delayed. ISP people at house this morning since the TV signal has been steadily falling apart over the last month,…
Medalist #01 — Winning is Everything
Weird message to try to promote your sport. Impressions: There's a largely unspoken assumption through this entire episode that really undermines the entire thing; that a hobby isn't…
Sky Blue Utility #01 — Loud Girls Making Faces
Golf? What's golf? Impressions: You know, this might've actually been a little more interesting if it dropped the supposed golf angle entirely and just had it overtly…
Momentary Lily #01 — Many Large Explosions
…Yeah, I think that sums it up. Impressions: I was aware of the death metal spastic opening that's ADHD personified going into this, but… Actually, I have…
Ameku Takao #02 — …In a Dennys
When you hear hoofbeats, think unicorns. Impressions: …Like I said, we suddenly jump instead of an especially nice Dennys. Why is there an entire tree in this…
Salaryman in Another World #01 — “Acrimony is Good Actually”
This and no other brilliant negotiating tactics. Oops. This had its first episode premiere today, but will be airing the second episode onward on Mondays, beginning on…
2025 New Winter Anime Rundown and Lamentation of Elves
And a happy new year. Mercifully, I think we got the majority of recent Jump crap out of our system over the last couple seasons too, because it's…
Mechanical Arms #12 — “Racism Is Just Good Science”
All the thumbnails being 75% flame effects really sell this episode. Impressions: I like how the big bad probably realized that his grand plan of "I want…
Dandadan #12 — Back to Basics
Being loud and rapey. Impressions: Hoo boy. If you wanted to cement all the negative feelings I had about this show and bury any memories of its…
Mechanical Arms #11 — Clowning Around
Dozens of people were okay with the creation of this episode. Impressions: I'm sorry. Did I have a stroke? This is the second to last episode. Why…
Dandadan #11 — Strange Men Shouting Loudly
Okay, that's past enough shounen for… a long time. Impressions: …Yeah, if these last two episodes had been episodes 2 and 3 of this show, I'd be…
Mechanical Arms #09 — Unearned Victories
And lame antagonists. Impressions: At least nobody ran off just to change their mind and turn around for the umpteenth time. But I can't say this was…
Mechanical Arms #05 — Plague of Worms
Gee, who could be behind this. Impressions: Hey, nice. We broke the pattern. The first episode where the protagonist doesn't run away from the fight only to…
Talky Boy #05 — “Boy Do I Love Slaving and Murder and Sexual Assault!”
How to write a great villain. Impressions: And here we have all the things that I hate in recent anime fantasy trends. Multiple characters openly declaring how…
Puniru is a Slime #03 — Fighting Children
And losing. Impressions: Going through the multiple long transformation sequences certainly didn't help this episode, but neither did most of it being recycled jokes. A whole flashback…
Talky Boy #03 — All About Bunny Boy
Maybe it's time to translate something instead. Impressions: Somehow, this is the last thing standing after doing a quick glance through all the Monday shows, though with…
The Do-Over Damsel #01 — “Dragon God Rave”
Now that sounds like a party. Unfortunately, it's rah-veh, so it's not a party at all. Impressions: I'd do the whole "Stop me if you've heard this…
Teacher at Demon School #01 — A Girl Wears Pants
Loud equals funny. Impressions: I think my opinion was fairly set about three minutes in after the dude shows up at a sprawling island metropolis and is…
Talky Boy #02 — Bunny Dude
What's his story? Where do you even get a giant bunny cloak in the first place? Quasi-Impressions: You know, after glancing through this episode, and seeing that…
Nina of the Starry Kingdom #01 — Human Trafficking Day Continues
Well, humans and humanoids at least. Impressions: The writing's not getting much better either. She waits until she's bathed and dressed in the finest of clothes and…
My Wife Became a Fourth Grader #01 — Illegalities
Why are we making this a constant point of conversation? Impressions: I'm not sure that the strategy of constantly announcing how illegal and creepy the premise is…
Ranma 1/2 #01 — Retry
…Why. Impressions: I didn't go back and watch the original's first episode, but… yeah. I still don't understand why this exists. Characters, writing, humor were all perfected…
