Brief Thoughts On: Megumi
An animated version of the story behind Megumi Yokota and her abduction by North Korean spies. Not recommended if you need a happy ending.
Brief Thoughts On: Kaichuu!
I was in a sports mood and stumbled upon this anime by accident, but maybe Kaichuu! wasn't the best pick for pride month.
Brief Thoughts On: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.

Thoughts on Magia Record
A few thoughts after watching Magia Record
Brief Thoughts On: Shoka
