Azur Lane: Bisoku Zenshin! Review

Why yes I did just play exclusively Operation Siren while watching this show. And yes, I finished playing my dailies faster than it took to watch this. META ships don’t farm themselves.

Horimiya Review

You know, I still can’t believe that Hori is actually a brunette. The manga doesn’t shade or tone her hair at all, so I assumed for so many years that she was actually blonde. Did anyone else think that? I’m not going insane, right?

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Review

“The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions.” To live means to die. To be right, that means someone else must be wrong. To have peace means that first, there must be war.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 2nd Season Part 2 Review

I feel like you really could’ve just made the whole thing one season instead of splitting it up in two parts, but I think I’m just yelling at an empty crowd on this point considering the thing got made in the end anyway, so supposedly, there’s not really any reason to complain.

Non Non Biyori Nonstop Review

For all of the isekais, shonen series, crappy harems, or a variety of more engaging or seemingly more interesting shows with more involved plots, I’m glad we have Non Non Biyori. Because god willing, this is the kind of stuff I’m gonna be turning to whenever I just need a break from life.

Tenshi Souzou Design-bu Reveiw

You know, if God really did ask for even half of Earth’s creatures to be made just on the whims of really vague requests, I’d believe it. Because nature is often times really fucking bizarre and the things that’re considered as ‘evolutionary advantages’ really test the limits of how ‘life finds a way’ no matter the situation. Fun, but also really…really weird.

I★Chu: Halfway Through the Idol Review

I find it mildly amusing that the anime idol industry is just as saturated as the actual idol industry. I mean there has to be an extent to which too much is too much, right? Maybe I’m just thinking too hard about this; let’s just talk about pretty anime boys singing.

Hataraku Saibou Black Review

I can’t help but feel like this show is also an allegory to the kinds of working conditions that a typical white-collar worker in Japan experiences and reflects upon Japanese society as a whole as some kind of social commentary on how toxic work culture can be detrimental to not only one’s own health, but also how it can impact society to an almost unhealthy degree. Eh, it’s probably just my imagination.

Hataraku Saibou!! Review

I think we’re really stretching what constitutes as a ‘season’ now. Like…it’s usually supposed to be 12 or 13 episodes. We’ve established this. This has nothing to do with how it impacts the quality or anything else with the storytelling, but rather a PSA on the fact that it seems like the definition of ‘season’ now is ‘whatever the showrunners want it to be’. I guess.

P.A. Works: My Favorite and Least Favorite Studio

There’s no easy way to start this given how much P.A. Works as a company has influenced me in this medium.  They’re a unique studio, a studio who’ve taken on quite literally whatever project they want to tackle.  If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be able to appreciate original anime.  But my love for their projects has also served as an unfortunate double-edged sword.

Warning: Story spoilers for various P.A. Works shows from 2010 onwards.
