Deca-Dence 2 – Deca-Dence Online
Just about sums up my reaction to this episode, really.
Deca-Dence:
Deca-Dence is a 2020 original anime from Nut. That’s right, the Youjo Senki studio. I’ve only reviewed the one anime from them and it was decent. So, let’s…

Deca-Dence 2020 Stakes are definitely getting higher – as they probably should, now that the season draws closer to its end. And while the new Gadoll threat brings…
