I’ve pruned the number of shows to a manageable handful, and the thing is they’re all cute and/or mostly happy ones. Maybe it’s my current mood or maybe…
4s, 5s, 6s, and a couple 7s–Maid-dragon, 100-man, Idaten, Peachboy, Hamefura
I find I have nothing whatsoever to say about Koboyashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon 4 and 5. Episode 5 might be the more productive in that Ilulu finds…
