First Impressions: The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat.

Nothing is great about isekai anime.

First Impressions: PuraOre! ~Pride of Orange~

It's sweet.

First Impressions: Muv-Luv Alternative

Oh, look, another military mecha anime. Excuse me, miss, how are you making the humming sound with your mouth open? So, I'm conflicted about this one.

No. I … Continue reading First Impressions: Tesla Note →

First Impressions: Mieruko-chan

I am deeply uncomfortable.

*deep inhale* GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY as verified by wikipedia dot com This is based on a manga series by Tomoko Yamashita. It follows a the adventures of Kosuke Mikado and Rihito Hiyakawa as they exorcise ghosts and flirt shamelessly. Constant talk of 'destiny' and how 'erotic' the exorcism is is to be expected.
