Mahou Shoujo Site Ep. 12 (Final): No bulli zone

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online Ep. 11: Just play
Seriously, just play the damn game. — Again, this show tries too hard to portray Pito as some evil, psycho woman. But repeat after me: it’s… just… a… game! — Pito’s sword is actually double-bladed....

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii Ep. 11 (Final): That’s it?
I guess that’s it. Wotakoi is not particularly romantic. It’s not particularly funny either. It also doesn’t really have a plot. Nor is it really insightful. After all, it portrays a very narrow range...

Golden Kamuy Ep. 11: Murder hotel
By itself, this is an amusing episode. As the penultimate episode in a series, however, it doesn’t actually help Golden Kamuy build up to any sort of grand finale. Does anything that happens here...

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Ep. 13: Just watch the last two minutes of the episode

Golden Kamuy Ep. 12 (Final): This isn’t much of a finale

MEGALOBOX Ep. 13 (Final): Wholesome but anticlimactic
Well, it really depends on how you look at it. I mean, I’m glad both boxers survived, but I dunno, I just can’t love the ending. The whole match never truly crescendo’d. In fact, I felt like I was...
