Second Impressions – Hikari no Ou
This is why we can't have nice things. Read more

Second Impressions – Bokutachi no Remake
This show is my frontrunner for summer's "most vexing series" by a good margin. Read more
Second Impressions – Bartender: Kami no Glass
The symbolism of all this isn't exactly subtle, but there's a reason bars and bartenders are such a timeless and integral part of fiction.

Second Impressions – Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi
