Meet Komi’s mom. After the extended drama of last week’s Komi-san Comyushou desu, we go back to short skits this week. The first has Makeru challenging Komi in…
Mieruko-chan, SAKUGAN, My Senpai is Annoying, Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut
Mieruko-chan and Laika 7, Takt and Nakama 6-7,
Sometimes I want to step into a show where there are misunderstandings and just straighten everybody out. It frustrates me when two or more characters who should be…
Sakugan and Senpai ga Uzai 4-6, Komi-san 4
Sakugan’s quest seems to be to toss in as many different types of plots as it can. In episode 4 they arrive in Jolly-Jolly, a town of passion,…
4-6s of various shows
She can’t see it. In Mieruko-chan 2 it’s more of the same. Miko sees something spooky, does her best not to react, and we move on to the…
Komi-san 1, Nakama, Sakugan, Senpai ga Uzai, Gyakuten, Insanity 2-3
This is actually a beat moment –Rit just suggested something embarrassing. If I’m going to catch up at all I’m going to have to stop reviewing every episode…
2-3s, Isekai Shokudou, Mieruko, Laika, Takt, Shinka
You hear all sorts of grace-saying at this restaurant. I really don’t know if I’ll continue to write about Isekai Shokudou. There’s so little to say about it.…
Juliet, Mieruko-chan, Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut, Restaurant to Another World
New Fall 2021 #3
He’s talking about his previous, miserable life. Saihate no Paladin is an isekai story where the despondent adult is awakened as a baby and is being raised by…

New Fall 2021 #1
Hello again and welcome to the shows in the Fall season I might actually watch to the end! That said, to start with there are a LOT of…
Restaurant to Another World, The Vampire Dies in No Time, Mieruko-chan, Tesla Note
Finales: Peach Boy, Hamefura 2, Maid Dragon, Tantei
On to the finales! Peach Boy Riverside, having no other arcs to jump to and with only the last episode left, says “What the hell” and gives us…
Tantei, Maid Dragon, and 100-man 10-11
Well, the story was screwed up to start with … Back to a new arc for Tantei wa Mou Shindeiru, where Kimihiko, Nagisa, and Yui are on a…
100-man 8-9, Peach Boy and Hamefura 10-11
If this is a village, where is everyone? 100-Man 8’s big question (to me) is why chief Cox want to grind his village into the ground like he’s…
Riverside, Hamefura, Tantei, and Kobayashi-san 8-9
When it looked like we’d go off to meet a mysterious witch in Peach Boy Riverside 6, instead we hop, er, forward, to Sally’s big decision, Mikoto or…
6-7, Tantei, Kobayashi, 100-Man
Okay, that’s a cool-looking monster. I’ve talked about Peach Boy hopping around time, but Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru does the same thing. At least with episode 6 we…
4s, 5s, 6s, and a couple 7s–Maid-dragon, 100-man, Idaten, Peachboy, Hamefura
I find I have nothing whatsoever to say about Koboyashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon 4 and 5. Episode 5 might be the more productive in that Ilulu finds…
4-5s, Peachboy, Hamefura, Tantei, and Jahy 1
Back to Peach Boy Riverside, a show that apparently likes to hop around. As I recall there was a fighting contest going on, but episode 4 gives us…
2-3s, Shinigami, Maid dragon, 100-man, and a new one.
And four days pass before I can watch another episode, and longer when I finally post this … Anyway time to catch up with Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro…
The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, The Duke of Death and His Maid
2-3 Peachboy, Hamefura, Genjitsu, Tantei
Both choices suck for different reasons. Peachboy Riverside 2 and 3 takes the setup and hops around a little, so that it’s confusing. In ep2 we meet Mikoto,…
Summer 2021 3

Log Horizon, Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town?, Otherside Picnic
Twos and threes: Horimiya, Mushoku, Biyori2, Slime, Wonder Egg
Drama! The thing about Horimiya, well, two episodes in, is that it covers the romcom tropes, what to get Hori for her birthday, the misunderstanding over the missing…

Winter 2021 1
My stay-at-home order was lifted this month so it’s back to the office for me. I won’t have as much time to watch, but I’ll at least try…
Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town?, Heaven’s Design Team, Otherside Picnic
The last of the finales: KimiSen, Usagi Bloom
That doesn’t look good … I really didn’t want to watch KimiSen 11; it would be a long-talk episode where I would get more confused on who’s on…
Finales and stuff: Assault Lily, Sigrdrifa, Kuma Bear
Some shows have finished, but Assault Lily Bouquet has another episode after 11. It’s set up to be a big climactic battle between a monstrous Huge and ……
Finales: Tonikaku, Tabitabi, 100-man
Tonikaku Kawaii 11 is one of the livelier ones, because it’s a takoyaki party! Basically, Nasa finds a takoyaki grill in that old apartment (which has a million…
Assault Lily 10, Usagi 9, Tabitabi and 100-man 11
Assault Lily Bouquet 10, naturally, deals with the aftermath of Yuri’s death. Yep, she’s actually dead, but on the other hand, we got Misuzu’s ghost popping up at…
Sigrdrifa 9-10, Tonikaku 10, Kuma 9-10, Kimisen 10
Senyoku no Sigridrifa 9 has three things going on. While we jump around a bit the most time is spent with Sono, who still can’t fly. Now, I…

Foreshadowing. Assault Lily Bouquet 8 goes light, with a school competition to show off abilities, new weapons, and of course a cosplay competition. There isn’t much to it,…
Still catching up: Kimisen, Kuma, Usagi
Iska in captivity. Let’s see, way way back when I last watched KimiSen, Alice and Rin had accidentally poisoned Iska’s drink and now have him in custody. Since…
Catching up–Sigrdrifa and Tonikaku
Apart from herself. It’s been ages since I last looked at Senyoku no Sigrdrifa, but I remembered that episode 7 wasn’t going to go well for the good…
Catching up: Assault Lily, Tabitabi, 100-man
Assault Lily Bouquet 7 is delayed because of COVID, but I haven’t watched episode 6 yet … Quite a good episode, too. It starts with comedy and infodumps…
Catching up: Usagi, Fruit Tart
They’re actually customers, but they can’t help it. Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka Bloom 4 brings us the school festival. Of course it’s all happy-happy, with Rize and…
Catching up: KimiSen, Kuma Bear
I wondered that about the entire episode. KimiSen 4 is a frustrating excuse of setting things up and not following through. First it’s a casino, where Iska and…
Fours, fives, and sixes: 100-man, Tonikaku, Sigrdrifa
The team is coming together nicely. 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatte Iru 4 continues to explore moral dilemmas and selfishness with some humorous bits…

Akudama Drive, Is the Order a Rabbit?, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina
Some 2s but mostly 3s

A lot of episode 2’s but not all of them

TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You, Akudama Drive, By the Grace of the Gods, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina
