View ArticleWotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii Ep. 2: Where’s the love?
That’s a good damn question. Are Narumi and Hirotaka actually dating? I can’t tell. I also can’t tell if I like this show or not. It’s full of inside jokes for otakus, but it has little in way of...

I hope you’re ready to learn the ins and outs of this awesome tournament. — This extended breakdown of the term “Squad Jam” is a bit odd. Anyways, brace yourself for a ton of exposition. Not only do...

View ArticleCaligula Ep. 3: Let them eat (too much) cake

View ArticleMegalo Box Ep. 4: Hang your pride up
Wow, Joe’s going to go into his first official match ever without any Gear. The kid is right to be concerned; even though Joe has no intention of losing, this is almost suicidal. But hey, he could...
View ArticleWotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii Ep. 3: 99% otaku, 1% romance
That’s my main problem with this show. Not moe, but the lack of romance. There’s barely even any chemistry between the main characters. It’s really just Hirotaka being in love with Narumi (but still...
