Hm... This was described to me as something in the line of Harvey Birdman and Space Ghost. I've never watched either of those and know only what I've seen on the internet about Harvey Birdman so that description was exactly zero helpful. It's not bad, whatever it is. Characters trying to balance world domination with … Continue reading First Impressions: EAGLE TALON ~Golden Spell~

First Impressions: Iwakakeru – Sport Climbing Girls
Muscles. This is a sports anime about rock climbing girls. It's pretty standard for a sports anime.

Check it out if you like sports anime, sports climbing, or girls with … Continue reading First Impressions: Iwakakeru – Sport Climbing Girls
First Impressions: Warlords of Sigrdrifa
War! Psuedo-Norse Mythology! Child Soldiers! Magic! Biplanes with angel wings! Warlords of Sigrdrifa is a beautiful and interesting anime, even if children being made to fight a war due to Magic Reasons will never sit quite right with me. It's got a good balance of lighthearted and heartbreaking. The characters are interesting, likable, and understandable. … Continue reading First Impressions: Warlords of Sigrdrifa

First Impressions: King’s Raid: Successors of the Will
First D&D anime of the season is mine! Ha HA! Ah, D&D~ The bustling pseudo-european cities~ the mysterious dramatic backstories~ the perfectly normal names~ the fantasy racism~ the absolutely boring pacing~ No wait, that's not enjoyable.

First Impressions: Lapis Re:LiGHTs
Harold, I think they're lesbians. Please. Please let them be lesbians. The first magical girl academy is off to a promising, if slow start, with Main Character Girl's arrival to a prestigious magical school with an unfortunate class problem (pun intended). She's immediately sorted into the worst class group, but, in true anime fashion, it … Continue reading First Impressions: Lapis Re:LiGHTs
First Impressions: The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Guest Written by: Noah Haley Do you like wish fulfillment fantasies? Magical academies? Blank slate characters with the personality of a lightly salted baked potato? Congratulations, this might be the anime for you. The first episode is fine. Not the strongest opening, but it’s competent and it gets done what I think it’s meant to. … Continue reading First Impressions: The Misfit of Demon King Academy
First Impressions: Woodpecker Detective’s Office
Attention grabbing one liner. Being able to take a screenshot that manages to sum up most of the show is nice. Woodpecker Detective's Office is about the above poet's friend reminiscing about when the two of them investigating local crimes and mysteries to pay the bills. It's nice. The art style feels kind of old-timey … Continue reading First Impressions: Woodpecker Detective’s Office
