11s: Zenshu, Hana wa Saku, Ojisan, Girumasu
I’m in despair! Zenshu 11, “Despair,” brings us plenty of it. Lots of shots of voids overrunning the city and eating people while scattered heroes and friends try…
Tens: Zenshu, Hana wa Saku, Ojisan, Girumasu
This week’s episode (10) of Zenshu is titled “Chaos” and next week’s is “Despair,” so things aren’t going to look up for the nine heroes or that town…
Eights and nines: Zenshu, Hana wa saku, Ojisan, Girumasu
Oh shut up obsessive killer bird. For Zenshu 8, I don’t really know what Kametaro Tsuruyama the bird who directed “A tale of perishing,” is up to. It’s…
Sevens: Zenshu, Hana, Ojisan, Girumasu
So the first story arcs of Zenshu have wrapped and the show decides to put in a filler with hints of things to come. Basically we watch four…
Sixes: Zenshu, Hana wa Saku, Ojisan, Girumasu
Oh, he can fly after all. How convenient. In the last episode of Zenshu, it looked like Natsuko was going to get eaten by the void-blob, so when…
Fives: Zenshu, Hana wa Saku, Ojisan, Girumasu
Whoops it didn’t work. I figured sooner or later Zenshu was going to get a little dark. Natsuko has been TOO good, and early on in the episode…
A week behind, but here are some fours
Nothing like a handsome fictional character to bring a depressed, long-lilved elf out of her funk. I wonder sometimes if Zenshu is going to drop the silly stuff…
One more new show, and some 2-3s
A very prompt arrival for Truck-kun. I wasn’t going to watch anymore isekai this season, but I heard good things about Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan, so I thought…
New Winter 2025 4 (just three more)
Alina’s bedroom in the morning. Damn, the fantasy shows keep coming … Now we got Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nanode Boss wo Solo Toubatsu…
New Winter 2025 3
Appropriate since Tonakijima is an island. Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku takes place in Tonakijima, a small island with a limited number of ferries and a small…

New Winter 2025 1
Ah, some seasons just don’t keep my interest much. There were some good shows but I couldn’t be bothered to write about them, or even watch them. That…
New shows Fall 2024 3
Lovely sky to begin the Ranma reboot. Does Ranma 1/2 even need a synopsis? Well, a quick one. The Tendo family is visited by old friends Genma and…

New shows Fall 2024
Let’s start the new season. I’m not going to watch a lot this time because very few of the shows look that interesting. Also, some types of shows,…
Finales, and Monogatari Off 10
A pretty look for Komari. I didn’t get to Make Heroine last post, so here are the final three episodes starting with 10, another lingering goodbye episode, this…
Pseudo Harem, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, Nisemonogatari, Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People
Tens and an eleven (how did Tokidoki Bosotto get ahead, anyway?)
Yuki and Kuze show off their scary looks. Tokidoki Bosotto 11 gets back to the story, well, after some cute “Kuze-kun’s sick so I have to go and…
Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People, Pseudo Harem, Nisemonogatari, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary
Nines and a Ten
Say “Aahh …” Tokidoki Bosotto 10 thankfully doesn’t digress as much into silly territory like it did last week, but there’s no straightforward story either. There̵…
Dungeon People, Pseudo Harem, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary
Eights and a nine (late, sorry)
I’ll do that for this episode. Tokidoki Bosotto 9 wastes an episode with only one meaningful thing in it. Alya, though she won the debate, feels sorry for…
Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, Nisemonogatari, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary, Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People
Sevens and an eight
Dramatic camera framing. “Should teachers recommend or appoint student council officers” or something like that, is the story in Tokidoki Bosotto this week, or rather, the big debate.…
SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary, Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People, Pseudo Harem, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Sevens and sixes
Yeshi-yeshi. Onto the sevens, mostly. Tokidoki Bossoto etc’s episode spends most of its time examining the relationships between most of the main characters. First we get the odd…
Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People, Pseudo Harem, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, Nisemonogatari
Various fours through sixes
All’s well that ends well … wait, the season’s not half over. Lots of drama in Make Heroine ga Oosugiro 4–it can’t be helped when the opening bit…
A two and a three but mostly fours
Lemon just learned Mitsuki has a girlfriend, and it ain’t her. One more ep2-3 to go, and that’s Make Heroine go Oosugiru!, which seems to have sort of…
Twos and threes where they’ve all reached four
Suou-chan is a handful. Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru 2 is a bit of a surprise. It feels like a mid-season episode and more of a character study…
Pseudo Harem, Nisemonogatari, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary, Bakemonogatari, Dungeon People
New shows Summer 2024 4
Sort of a vignette to start Kimi to Boko no Saigo 2 This last installment begins with Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru…

Saijaku Tamer and Shangri-la finales
Happy ending. Let’s wrap up the two finales I didn’t cover yet. First: Saijaku Tamer. And nothing much happens. The bad guys were caught last episode, and this…
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
I think forming a clan in this game is like forming a band in our world. Not that the second cours main story is complete, Shangri-la Frontier is…
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…

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…

New winter 2024 1
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…
Gushing Over Magical Girls, Chained Soldier, A Sign of Affection
The last of the 2023 shows
Though there will be more in a second season, S-rank Musume ends with no additional demon lords slain, no answers about Ange’s past or that little thing that…
Episode twelves, a week late!
Sorry about that. Busy at work, a little sick, and the holidays doncha know. Sousou no Frieren 15 is a two parter. In the first one the team…
