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. This episode is okay for a premiere, I guess, but for all the decent animation and interesting plot threads … Continue reading First Impressions: King’s Raid: Successors of the Will
Short episode about small girls deserves brief review. This is a mini-episode series about little girls who are also railroads(? I think?). It's cute. Check it out if you've got five minutes to spare. Khajiit has longer reviews if you have coin.

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
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

Fingers crossed that it'll be as stupid as it looks from the thumbnail and I won't actually miss any particularly … Continue reading First Impressions: Extra Olympia Kyklos
