Frieren and Renren finales, Shangri-la 24, Tamer 11
I was surprised when I heard Sousou no Frieren 28 was the last episode, but then they dropped three episodes in the first week, so it balances out.…
Shangri-la 22-23, Renren 10-11, Tamer 10, Frieren 27
Episode 22’s monster. In Shangri-la Frontier 22, Sunraku’s quest to level up Bilac so she can fix the, er, thing, so they can use the super-armor in the…
Shangri-la 21, Renren and Tamer 9, Frieren 26

Tamer 7-8, Shangri-la 20, Renren 8, Frieren 25
Ivy makes herself useful again. With Saijaku Tamer we’re still waiting for the pieces to come together. We mostly see it through Ivy’s eyes, and she can’t see…
Frieren 23, Shangri-la 18, Pii-chan and Renren 7, and Frieren 24!
Put Frieren in a dungeon and … The test in Sousou no Frieren 23 seems more traditional. Basically, everyone has to get to the bottom of the King’s…
Sasaki and Peeps, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, A Sign of Affection
Frieren 22, and 6 for the rest
A well-deserved feast after the first exam. Sousou no Frieren 22 is not particularly eventful even for a series where small acts and words can stand in for…
Sasaki and Peeps, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, A Sign of Affection
Tamer 4-5, Shangri-la, Pii-chan and Renren 5
Do RPG-players have this sort of trouble? Saijaku Tamer 4 has little in the way of moving the story forward, apart from Ivy getting closer to the town…
Catching up: Frieren, Shangri-la, pii-chan, Renren, and back to Frieren.
Those birds have a good sense of humor. Still catching up, I look at Sousou no Frieren 19 and 20, and it ends on a cliffhanger. They’re still…
More 2-3s: Dosanko Gal, Kyuujitsu, Saijaku Tamer
In front of his grouchy grandma. Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi is on my “possibly drop” list, but episode 2 brought fourth something I had hoped for, that…
Catching up with Frieren, Shangri-la, Pii-chan and Renren
Back to the continuing shows. Glad to say Sousou no Frieren, apart from a new OP and ED, hasn’t changed. We start where we left off, with Sein…

Time to look at the new shows for Winter 2024! As usual I’ll only watch the shows I’m interested in, which means probably no horror or sports. Just…

Episode twelves, a week late!

A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

8-9s: Shangri-la, Watashi no Oshi, Toaru Ossan, 16bit, Potion, S-rank,

7s, 8s, an 11: Watashi no Oshi, 16bit, Toaru Ossan, Potion, S-rank, Frieren

Various early 16bit, Potion, S-rank, Frieren, Shangri-la, and SHY

2-3s: S-rank, Frieren, Shangri-la, Shy, Watashi no Oshi, Toaru Ossan

4’s: Yumemiru, Nanatsu, Level1, Zom100

2-3s, Chiisai Senpai, Saikyou deshita, Yumemiru Danshi, Nanatsu, Dekiru Neko

Before going to the new shows I want to wrap up Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia, a finale which has no surprises whatsoever yet was lovely to watch. Ganta…
Finales and Insomnia
I don’t know how I got three episodes behind with Jijou no Shiranai etc, and it doesn’t really matter since much of it is the same. The mean…
Catching up: Insomnia, Jijou no Shiranai, Lv999,
Back from a week in America, and no, I didn’t bring you back anything, I decided to cut what few shows I was still watching to the bare…
Eights: Kuma Bear, Loafer, Explosion, Nyan, Insomnia
