I've had no anime to watch on Wednesdays for the past couple of seasons, and I've really, really liked that. Having a day where I know I'm going to have plenty of time to get through my YouTube subscriptions and play LoTRO with my sibling is really, really nice. So, if it seems like I'm … Continue reading First Impressions: Butlers x Battlers
Good morning! Before I ever knew this anime existed, I got to see a couple of people making menstruation jokes about it! So this oughta be fun. I know the poor Japanese writer who came up with that couldn't have known that it would send English speakers into fits of immature giggling (and probably wouldn't've … Continue reading First Impressions: Last Period: the journey to the end of despair
Hey, this anime's got a cat in it! Perfect premier! 10/10! I will watch this series every day until I die! I don't know what it was about the summary or the poster or what, but for some reason I thought this was going to be a short. It isn't. I also thought based on … Continue reading First Impressions: Yotsuiro Biyori
This is a bit of a hard one to write opening comments for because my standard 2 seconds of pre-watch Googling told me nothing about this series aside from that it exists and is on Crunchyroll. Thanks, Google, you've been a great help. So I guess this anime has something to do with trains? That's … Continue reading First Impressions: Crossing Time
Wait, this manga started in 2014? Why did I think this was a reboot of an old series? Where did I hear about it before? Am I going insane? Eh, never mind. It's premier season! I have no time for existential crises. Show Don't Tell is an important rule of visual storytelling, but I'm not … Continue reading First Impressions: Golden Kamuy
I had to have a little sit-down with myself to decide what does and does not qualify as "idol anime". I concluded that it doesn't mean "any anime with an idol in it". It has to actually be about idols, doing the idol thing. Being based on an actual idol or group is a bonus, … Continue reading First Impressions: Caligula
Eyyy I actually typed the title up there without having to double check what it was. I didn't even save the featured image under the proper title like I usually do. It's just labeled "libra of something something something". Anyway, according to Wikipedia this anime kicks off with a suicide, so I'm assuming this will … Continue reading First Impressions: Libra of Nil Admirari
This seems like a tour guide series, where every episode will try and sell you on some new regional specialty of Gunma. I don't know anything about Gunma except that it's a prefecture in Japan, Our Heroes from A Place Further than the Universe were from there, and it seems to be The Boonies (though … Continue reading First Impressions: You Don’t Know Gunma Yet
Have any of y'all seen that one manga about the ex-yakuza house husband? I've seen it floating around tumblr a lot lately. It's really cute. I don't know that that has anything to do with this, but something about the summary reminded me of it. Mostly just the part about Our Hero being a yakuza, … Continue reading First Impressions: HINAMATSURI
I don't get it. At risk of sounding like a fedora-wearing MRA douchebag who cries himself to sleep every night about some woman cruelly deciding she wants to be my friend, I do not understand the appeal of the asshole. Why would you want to have to work for a basic level of respect from … Continue reading First Impressions: My Sweet Tyrant
