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

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: 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
