Whoever made the promos had a better idea what people wanted than whoever made the show. Impressions: Wow. Promos for this were not accurate, to put it mildly. I was expecting something in the veins of Pirates of the Caribbean or maybe even Dark Water, but with ninjas because Japan. Both of those things are far, faaaar more […]

Moonlit Fantasy #01 — Exposition and Yelling
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE CLICHES OF THE REINCARNATION ANIME!? I'm honestly not certain where this came from. Actual broadcast isn't until the 7th. But here's this…
The Great Sage #01 — Abrupt Yelling
Oh, so this is where all the internal narration ended up. Impressions: Mostly, I have to wonder what they even think this show is supposed to be.…
Talentless Nana #01 — Silly Eyes
The eyes are the window to the goofy. There's more seemingly unannounced webcasts of shows today. Or maybe they're leaks. I just know that I expected around…
Opening Act #01 — Silly Faces
Their normal faces are pretty bizarre too. Impressions: You'd think that a show about aspiring comediennes would try to be a bit more funny. Or maybe it…
Platinum End #01 — Very Silly Faces
Made for internet memes. Sakugan (previously known as Sacks and Guns) also started actually airing today, so I bumped the episode 1 premiere up to most recent. It's…
MF Ghost #01 — Those Silly Stalkers
Starring the boy born with no personality. Apparently this is airing a day early on all the online streaming sites, both Abema and abroad. Impressions: I'm not…
Mechanical Arms #01 — Handsy People

We once again visit Generic JRPG Land, the world that always seems to exist, particularly for parodical or comedic subversion, where a human hero must do battle with…
Villains Drive #09 — Silly Faces, Silly Voices
Not how you do horror, Japan. Impressions: Another tremendously weird and yet mostly really boring episode spent almost entirely listening to talking heads. Pinky made one random…
Helck #02 — Wacky Races
This child will have an aneurysm by age 15. Impressions: I only made it about seven minutes into this episode before I was pretty fed up with…
Filmation’s “Wacky and Packy”
Wacky and Packy are undercut by shoddy and reused animation - but are far more endearing than many other Filmation cartoons.
Frieren #01 — People Stuffed in Boxes
Weird fetish, but okay. Thankfully, the only place that seems to be calling the four hour marathon a single episode is the official website, so we'll go…
The Case Study of Vanitas #01 — Shiny Silly Goth Boys
Make another stupid face, I dare you. Impressions: I think the big problems with this episode can be summed up by the conflict/problem being resolved just past…
Synduality Noir #01 — Plug and Play People

Fena #05 — Dungeon Crawling

The absolute state of sexual education. Impressions: I feel like this is slotting straight into the same mental slot for me this season as Teppen!!! fit last…
The Sacrificial Princess #01 — Big Balls

Newman’s Nook: Pirate Family
One Piece is a long-running story about pirates. It is one of the biggest franchises in the world. A huge reason for that, in my opinion, is how…
The Reason She’s With the Duke #01 — Rich People Drama
Oh goodie. This show yet again. Impressions: Supposedly this thing has been growing in popularity for the last couple years as reincarnation cheat powers start to decline. Except that…
Mieruko-chan – 01 (First Impressions) – I Don’t See Dead People
Mieruko-chan’s premiere featured, by my count, twenty shots of fanservice: two busts, two butts, and twelve legs/thighs. I won’t say they didn’t distract me, but not in a…
