Anime Taste Testing: Kakushigoto
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…

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…

Anime Taste Testing: Horimiya
Aside from the creepy teacher, this series is actually pretty okay.

Let’s all ganbaru together.

This one’s gonna be quick and dirty, because to be honest, I didn’t even make it through the whole first episode.

Kaizoku Oujo Episode 12 [Final Impression]
First and foremost, if you haven’t yet watched the last episode of Kaizoku Oujo, I –highly- recommend you do that before reading this post because I’m about to…

I think I would have enjoyed this one a lot more had I not felt like it was trying so hard to be purposefully enigmatic – with the…

And the new anime season finally kicks off with… a less-than-stellar shounen work populated by characters that seem like they’re built less around their personalities and more around…
Anime Taste Testing: Kemono Jihen
While quite possibly the series I was least looking forward to giving a watch, this ended up being surprisingly alright.
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: 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: Hortensia Saga
This would have felt lackluster and cliché had it been released 20 years ago – and what’s more, nothing would have changed between then and now aside from…
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: 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: Blue Period
This is one of those shows that I quite want to like, but am still in the process of working out if I actually do.
Anime Taste Testing: Appare-Ranman!
I mean… where do I even start? Well, at the very beginning, I guess, because the opening scene (set one year after the events of the first episode…

Anime Taste Testing: Urusei Yatsura
Some anime do genuinely deserve a reboot. Others should probably never again see the light of day, no matter how historically important.
Anime Taste Testing: Platinum End
If Madoka Magica was a (bad) battle royale instead of magical-girl.
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: 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: Chainsaw Man
Probably the perfect anime series for Tarantino fans.
Anime Taste Testing: Akudama Drive
I don’t know what I just watched, but I know I want more of it.
