Okay so lemme- lemme see if I've got my notes on this right. White Cat (untranslated) Project ZERO (all caps) Chronicle is an anime adaptation of a free to play mobile rpg's third anniversary event, which was a prologue exploring The Lore of the game's world. Delightful. What a bad show. What a bad, bad, … Continue reading First Impressions: Shironeko Project ZERO Chronicle
This is an anime about a gyaru who wakes up one morning to discover that she got drunk the night before and came home with a dinosaur that looks like a muppet. I ain't gonna lie, I was kinda just expecting this to be a cute but unimpressive little gag series that I'd watch once … Continue reading First Impressions: Gal and Dino
This is an anime about an aspiring artist named Arte who runs away from her life in the lesser nobility of 16th century Florence to take an apprenticeship under a grumpy anime man named Leo. It's fine. The anime characters draw in the style of Renaissance realism, and the clashing art styles is never not … Continue reading First Impressions: Arte
This show's neat. Apparently this is an adaptation of a Korean webtoon that's like, super popular? I saw a lot of hype for this anime when it first got announced and apparently both the other writers for this blog have already read the source material, and yet I've never heard of this series even once … Continue reading First Impressions: Tower of God

This episode opened with a graphic content warning, which set up expectations that it then failed to live up to. Interspecies Reviewer is a.... sex comedy? I don't know, its about a trio of adventurers arguing about which variety of monster girl is best. It, uh. It basically just feels like a visual representation of … Continue reading First Impressions: Interspecies Reviewers
Y'know, its always a delight when a show manages to grab you in the first 3 minutes. In/Spectre manages to do that, and then keep my attention through the entire first episode, which many shows sem to struggle with. This show is about a girl named Iwanaga Kotoko, who was abducted by spirits as a … Continue reading First Impressions: In/Spectre
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
