Kuromukuro Ep. 10: Sigh
We get a rather forgettable episode this week. — Suspicions abound. People are beginning to wonder if Ken and the alien invaders are actually one and the same. To be fair, it’s not exactly easy to...

Bungou Stray Dogs Ep. 11: Mish mash
After putting in so much effort to rescue Kyouka, I half-expected the story to now focus on the burgeoning relationship between her and Atsushi. It would be cool to see the two of them help each other...

Mayoiga Ep. 12 (Finale): Explanations, explanations, and more explanations
I heard you kids were clamoring for answers. Well, have I got answers for you! This finale episode is nothing but one clunky explanation after another. But oddly enough, it still manages to not answer...

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Ep. 10: Do the locomotion
I can’t find any particular topic worth expanding upon, so I’ll just do quick thoughts and impressions this week. Of course, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress isn’t without its flaws. It has plenty of...

Kiznaiver Ep. 11: How to human
It’s a good thing this anime is so pretty, because the story is so stupid. — In the cold opening, Noriko narrates to the audience. She tells us how she used to be all by her lonesome at the testing...

Re:Zero Ep. 12: A distinct lack of deaths
They say a 7-game series doesn’t really kick-off until a team loses a home game. The same sort of logic applies here: unless Subaru dies, I’m just horribly, horribly bored. But enough chit-chat. Let’s...

Monday Blues: Spring ’16, Week 12
It’s the beginning of the end. Three shows come to a close this week, and as a cherry on top, there’s no new episode of Endride to cover. That’s perfectly fine with me. That just means I have less...

Bungou Stray Dogs Ep. 12: Catch you later, tiger

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Ep. 11: You went full shounen, man
Everybody knows you never go full shounen. I enjoyed this episode, but like last week, I don’t have any fullblown analysis to offer. In fact, I think we’re pretty much set in that department. That’s...

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Ep. 12 (Finale): Dreams of rice paddies live on
Takubro didn’t die for this… It’s funny. As I’m sitting there, watching these hopeful kids ride away on the Koutetsujyo in the final seconds of the episode, our finale doesn’t feel like much of a...

Berserk (2016) Ep. 1: Abandon all hope
Let me start off with a major caveat — a caveat that will probably annoy some people: my last exposure to the Berserk series was when I watched the first anime adaptation a really, really long time...

Shokugeki no Soma S2 Ep. 1: The beautiful ideas of cooking
I didn’t finish the first season of Shokugeki no Soma, and that’s okay. I’ll somehow write over 2,000 words about this episode anyway.Due to the story’s simplistic nature, we can completely avoid the...

Orange Ep. 1: Hello from the future
I always hated it when my mom would often say, “I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made.” Like most kids, this was always a frustrating thing to hear, but why? My mom was only looking out...

Re:Zero Ep. 14: Half-elf lives matter
I actually don’t really know how to cover the last two episodes, and that’s mostly because Re:Zero doesn’t get my attention until someone actually dies. You must think that’s perverse of me, huh? But...

Tuesday… Tribulations?
Don’t worry, because this won’t be a regular thing. I’m just doing another quick impressions post to pare down the summer shows. Obviously, I can’t cover them all. But before we get to the new stuff,...

Wednesday Woes: More summer impressions
Again, I’m just trying to find shows that I’ll be covering for the rest of the summer. Also, tomorrow’s post will be late (if not delayed entirely), because I’ll be checking out an event at a nearby...

Planetarium Ep. 1: Do anime robots cry electric tears?
Believe it or not, I am actually incredibly intrigued by this show’s concept. There’s something rather tragic about Hoshino Yumeni. How much does she really understand? How “smart” is she really? Does...
