Yes, I genuinely like the pun. Given the synopsis, I was fully ready to experience something… well, pervy, for lack of a better term. What I wasn’t ready…

Let’s all ganbaru together.

So Liverpool and Manchester finally united, and then the apocalypse happened. Sounds about right. I’ll get this out of the way right off the bat: I’m an unapologetic…
Anime Taste Testing: Gibiate
This one’s gonna be quick and dirty, because to be honest, I didn’t even make it through the whole first episode.
Anime Taste Testing: Pet
An adult anime for teenage edgelords. It seems that nearly every time I see a psychological genre anime marketed explicitly towards the seinen crowd, it feels exactly like…
Anime Taste Testing: Horimiya
Aside from the creepy teacher, this series is actually pretty okay.
Anime Taste Testing: Noblesse

Finally, the detective anime we didn’t know we needed (but that we definitely deserved). You’d be forgiven for wanting to give up on the anime detective/mystery genre entirely…
Anime Taste Testing: Arte
I’d say I love period pieces, but that would be a lie. I love accurate period pieces. I wish to god this title had just been set in…

Strap yourself in, this is one wild trip. And a trip Dorehedoro most certainly is. Whether it’s one you can stomach or not largely depends on your tolerance…
Anime Taste Testing: Kitsutsuki Tanteidokoro
The lesser of the two mystery shows airing the season, but probably still the best period piece. I imagine the setting is what will first strike viewers about…
Anime Taste Testing: Great Pretender
With the new anime season now starting up (however scant the offerings this time around to due COVID-related scheduling issues), I would be completely remiss if I didn’t…
Anime Taste Testing: Uramichi Oniisan
There always seems to be one show every season that I want to like more than I actually do. This time around, that’s Uramichi Oniisan.

Anime Taste Testing: Taisou Zamurai
Being a sports anime, a dad anime, and a surrealist comedy all in one is a tough sell, that’s for sure.

Anime Taste Testing: Back Arrow
So it’s mecha but with backwater villagers dressed as old-west cowboys and the more tech-advanced folk looking like something out of a Chinese-inspired historical-fantasy. Cool cool.
Anime Taste Testing: Chainsaw Man
Probably the perfect anime series for Tarantino fans.
Anime Taste Testing: Bibliophile Princess
The only way to explain this is if people literally went out of their way to create something generic.
Anime Taste Testing: Darwin’s Game
Too generic to stand out, too trashy even by trash standards to be funny. At first glance, this seemed to be one of those shows that are so…
