Ikoku, Tamon, Seihantai, Kirei, Frieren 9-11s
Another idea in this episode, one I didn’t mention. Often with Ikoku Nikki I managed to pick up a theme or two from the various quick scenes, but…
My five shows – 8-10
Ahh! I forgot to post this two days ago! Ikoku Nikki reaches episode 10 with another batch of little scenes around little ideas. Asa keeps considering the word…
7-9s, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, Frieren2, Kirei no Shite, Seihantai
Nothing much in Tamon-kun ima Docchi?. Utage and the three basic F/FACE members keep meeting accidentally in one of the most crowded, busiest cities in the world. Ouri…
The usual, sevens, eights, and one six.
I was a little surprised with Tamon-kun ima Docchi? 8, in that the summer video shooting went as smoothly as it did. Keito was keeping an eye on…
Frieren 5, Seihantai 6, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, and Kirei no Shite 7
Two light sketches in Sousou no Frieren 5, and I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll get a big story arc at all. The first concerns an encounter with…
Frieren 4 (I’m behind), Seihantai 5, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, and Kirei no Shite 6
The big date in Sousou no Frieren 4 was about as you’d expect. Stark isn’t sure what to do, I mean, at least compliment Fern’s pretty purple dress…
Around the 4s and 5s.
No discussion of Kinme’s past in Kirai ni Shite Moraemasuka 4, except for one conversation which gets interrupted. Instead Kinme meets Kuriru, who’s blasting Febreeze on her clothes…
2-4s: Kirei ni Shite, Frieren, Seihantai, Kamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki
In Kirei ni Shite Moraemasu ka 3 we learn that the ever-reliable Kinme can screw up sometimes. Her friend Yagara invites her to a new restaurant, she takes…
2s and 3s – Toumei Otoko, Seihantai, Yuusha Party, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki
Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna 2 livens things up a little with what looks like serious stalking activity directed toward Light (light elf) and Karma (dark elf), who…
Some twos, and Frieren 2 one.
Moving on the the twos, Yuusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyoubinbou, one of two Yuusha shows to make the cut, has Orhun agreeing and beginning the training session–leading a…
Fours and fives: Zatsu, Kanpekiseijo, Rock wa Lady, Danjoru, Mono, Kowloon, Shoushimin2
Meet Riri and Fuyune. This week in Zatsu Tabi we meet Fuyune (bedhead), a successful manga artist who Chika does side-work for, and Riri (the lush), another artist,…
KOWLOON GENERIC ROMANCE, mono, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary
Threes and fours
I like this side of Mia. Kanpekiseijo pushes both stories forward, and by two I mean the growing demon threat, and Mia’s getting to the bottom of what…
Twos and mostly threes
Who’s show is this anyway? Finishing up the twos first we have Mono, a busy episode where we get two, no three things going on. First and most…
Food for the Soul, KOWLOON GENERIC ROMANCE, SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary
Some twos
Hi there! On to the twos. Taking what we got from episode 1, Rock wa Lady’s is predictable. Lilisa played her guts out only to have Otoha insult…
New shows Spring 2025 4 (last)
One of the many threatening beasts the Saints dispatch as part of their duties. Kanpekisugite Kawaige ga Nai to Konyaku Haki sareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru, or…
New shows Spring 2025 3
Witch Watch begins with an already-damaged house. We start with Witch Watch, about a girl-witch named Nico, who goes off to witch school leaving her friend Morihito behind.…

New Shows Spring 2025 2
A close-up of a flower. We start this installment with Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!), or Danjoru, where a quiet high school boy Natsume, is…
SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary, Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?, KOWLOON GENERIC ROMANCE, The Dinner Table Detective
New shows Spring 2025 1
Let’s start the new season, shall we? I don’t know how many shows I’ll watch this time around. Things get busy, you know, but I’ll look at those…
Finales: Zenshu, Hana wa saku, Ojisan, and Girumasu
Excellent visual in a disappointing show. I have little to say about the Zenshu finale. Luke smashes the crystal, there’s a lot of death and destruction, everyone dies…
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…

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…

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…
