Well wow, color me intrigued because I really enjoyed this episode. I didn't think things would escalate that far at the end so it took me by surprise. I'm getting big Higurashi vibes from the small…

A bit of a slower episode this time but still filled with even more mystery and questions about this entire island. My suspicions towards Tokiko and the Hishigata…

Summer Time Render #21 — Rebirth
Beginning of the end. Impressions: Very much a calm before the ending episode, with everybody going around declaring who they like, but not a whole ton else.…
Summer Time Render #05 — Legion
Whole lot of gaping head wounds this week. Sorry this is a bit delayed. Irregular work meeting this morning that both started late and then ran extremely…

Yeesh, that glowing eye looks so obnoxious in every shot. Impressions: Yes, I know (at the risk of minor spoilers) that it's because it's some kind of wacky…
Anime Taste Testing: Summer Time Render
Somehow underwhelming and overwhelming both at once.
Summer Time Render #07 — Head Pops
Mmm juicy. I legitimately forgot about Ikkitousen's miniseries's second episode on Tuesday. In my defense, it was even worse than the first. Hakufu went to an island…

Episode 8 felt pretty weird. It was pretty lighthearted for the most part until Shadow Mio came in to attack Shinpei, but the animation felt really different as…

More immediate beheadings of silly people, please. Impressions: I do kind of wish that they had actually won the beach fight, even if it was a pyrrhic…
Summer Time Render #04 — Confess Yourself
Yes, yes. We're all horny teens here. Impressions: They really, really needed to get to in-fighting between the copies a lot sooner. Fifteen goddamned minutes of goofy…

The godawful distorted reaction faces need to go. Impressions: Another very talky episode past the stabbings at the start, and definitely dragged down by the obnoxious faces…

Until morale improves. Impressions: Welp, that was a pretty slow episode, right up until it wasn't, and then it was again. This is exactly what I was…

We're somehow missile surfing, and I'm fine with that. A little slow this morning just because of an early obligatory vet checkup, but I am out of…
Summer Time Render #06 — Upside Down Boob Window
Weird flex, but okay. For the third time, Dawn of the Witch is off this week for no particular reason. Impressions: A very exposition heavy episode, and…

Half this episode was basically the Spiderman meme. Impressions: Oh boy, a flashback episode. You know how I love those. But as far as flashback episodes go,…
