That is, there were a few idol anime released today, so I'm doing them all at once. Idol Anime Blitz would make for a hell of a show though. Let's begin. Anime the First: Nekopara Gross. Would be marginally better if it were about actual cats. But only marginally. Next! Anime the Second: SHOW BY … Continue reading First Impressions: Idol Anime Blitz
Sword Art Online is a show about an author seeking to cash in on the concept of full-dive VR and the isekai adventure power fantasy genre while also knowing absolutely nothing about MMORPGs, video games in general, or what makes a good story. It stars a dull-looking, milquetoast teenage boy protagonist with no discernable personality … Continue reading First Impressions: Infinite Dendrogram
You know that trope where two childhood sweethearts meet again when they're older only for one to discover that the other was a different gender than they assumed? This show makes a strong case for why that only works if its gay. Also the protagonist gets sexually harrassed like..... a lot in this first episode. … Continue reading First Impressions: Hatena Illusion
Jewelry. Fascinating. I'm so intrigued. Oh, look, pretty rocks. This one kind of surprised me. Yes, there's only so much you can do to make an anime about jewelry interesting, but they manage well enough despite that. The characters are relatable enough, and the mystery is interesting, if not overly complicated. The show has a … Continue reading First Impressions: The Case Files of Jeweler Richard
This anime begins with a sexual assault played for laughs, and I dropped it immediately. No one should watch this. Here's a picture of my cat instead. She had an impromptu visit to the Humane Society. She was not best pleased. Neither was I.Much like I was not best pleased by this bullshit anime. Please … Continue reading First Impressions: Plunderer

I will assume you are thinking yes. number24 is is about rugby, a sport no one cares about that shouldn't exist. More specifically, its about Natsusu, a former star newbie in his university's rugby team becoming a manager for said … Continue reading First Impressions: number24
Oh look, my first video game anime of the season. My hopes are not high. She is the truest Newb. So, I actually liked this one. The creators did a great job creating a newbie gamer who actually acts like a newb! And she's a girl! Who isn't ridiculously dumb or magically great at the … Continue reading First Impressions: BOFURI: I don’t want to get hurt, so I’ll max out my defense!
That... sure is what this anime is named. Descriptive. Oh, look a yellow fetus that definitely isn't made of pee. A peetus, if you will. So, this seems like your pretty standard Dungeons and Dragons anime. It's nice they've manage to capture the sheer chaotic stupidity of players, but it doesn't really seem like anything … Continue reading First Impressions: Sorcerous Stabber Orphen
Who let the furries in the animation studio again? What kinda s%^#@& excuse for sexual dimorphism is this supposed to be?F^&*%$#^ furries. No. I refuse. You can't make me. I will not empathize with these stupid stereotypes pretending to be people. I will not laugh at lazily written jokes that never reach beyond the easiest … Continue reading First Impressions: Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
A second two-part premiere in as many days! How exciting. This one, however, is leagues ahead of the last. ID: Invaded is about a brilliant detective (they use that exact phrase multiple times) named Sakaido, who helps catch murderers by entering their mind palaces (here called "id wells", and are specifically born from the murderer's … Continue reading First Impressions: ID: Invaded
