That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Ep. 2: Too human
My coverage of this show probably wouldn’t be satisfying to most people. I have a tendency to pick and prod at a show, especially if I’m not sold on it. Hey, just giving you guys fair warning… — Plus,...

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara Ep. 2: One more time
