  • 86 2nd Season | E7: Another Great War.

    86 2nd Season | E7: Another Great War.

    At first, I did think that Ernst Zimmerman was one of those people who would end up being one of those antagonists, however, after watching episode seven my views on him are way different. Ernst definitely feels like a father in how he talks about the eight-six. After finding out…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | Episode 8: Moving Forward.

    Takt Op. Destiny | Episode 8: Moving Forward.

    There was a lot to digest in this episode that was for sure. This was the first genuine episode in where Cosette shows real human emotion that didn’t feel robotic. Cosette showed fear while Takt was on the verge of potential death and proceeded to flee the battle so that…

  • Sword Art Online: Alicization | E19 to E20: Uh, what did I watch?

    Sword Art Online: Alicization | E19 to E20: Uh, what did I watch?

    Okay, so the later stages of Sword Art Online: Alicization are giving me serious SAO Season one, ALO vibes and not the good type of vibes. If you’re well versed in the first season of Sword Art Online, then you’d know that Nobuyuki Sugou is worse than scum in what…

  • Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Seven: Downhill from here.

    Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Seven: Downhill from here.

    Episode seven was just very disappointing. There wasn’t a point during the episode where I felt entertained or thought whatever the characters were talking about was remotely interesting. Episode seven was a mess because many things happened, however, none of it felt connected at all. It seemed as though everything…

  • Sakugan | Episode Seven: A very confusing episode.

    Sakugan | Episode Seven: A very confusing episode.

    Thoughts before watching the episode. I have a feeling that Urorop is Memenpu’s mother. This makes a lot of sense to me because it was mentioned in one of the earlier episodes that Memenpu’s mother was also very adventurous. It was also mentioned that Memenpu’s thirst for adventure comes from…

  • Shiroi Suna no Aquatope | E18 and E19: What’s left to look forward to?

    Shiroi Suna no Aquatope | E18 and E19: What’s left to look forward to?

    What’s interesting about episodes eighteen and nineteen is that they are extremely fast-paced episodes, especially when you compare them to the first half of the anime. I knew that this was going to eventually happen, especially with a twenty-four-episode anime. Any story regardless of what it is seems to take…

  • Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E3 and E4: Reactions, Reactions.

    Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E3 and E4: Reactions, Reactions.

    Early signs would indicate that the primary source of Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu.’s comedy would be through the character’s interactions and their inability to understand Komi-san. Which at the end of the day makes sense as the anime is called Komi-san can’t communicate. However that being said, I’m not sure…

  • Blue Period | E7 and E8: Exam Time.

    Blue Period | E7 and E8: Exam Time.

    I’ll mention this time and time again, the biggest reason why I continue to watch and be fascinated by Blue Period is that it feels very real. While the characters are not, the experiences they go through are. Blue Period, I think is as close as we’ll get to an…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | Episode Seven: I knew it!

    Takt Op. Destiny | Episode Seven: I knew it!

    Okay, so did I see this coming? Yeah. So in that regard, nothing about episode seven and especially with how it ended really shocked me. The biggest question for me now is does Sagan know about Schindler’s master plan? Just how much does Sagan know about the current situation? If…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Six: My Favourite episode.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Six: My Favourite episode.

    By far, episode six was my favourite episode of the bunch. What made it extremely entertaining for me was that we had two headstrong and highly competitive characters (Takeda and Igarashi’s Ojii-chan) go at each other whenever they have the chance. It was extremely fun to watch. It also helped…

  • Sakugan | Episode 6: Robinhood.

    Sakugan | Episode 6: Robinhood.

    Episode six sees Gagmuber and Memenpu visit a colony where they stand for “equality” but is essentially a colony full of aristocrats. Everyone else who does not fall into that class is forced into an orphanage where I assume they forcibly attempt to make you an active member of this…

  • Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E1 and E2: The start of something new.

    Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E1 and E2: The start of something new.

    I would like to get something out of the way, Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. has been an anime I’ve wanted to watch at the start of the season but due to shenanigans in the real world, it just wasn’t in the cards, unfortunately. However, now that things have died now…

  • Sword Art Online: Alicization | E17 and E18: I was looking for something GRAND.

    Sword Art Online: Alicization | E17 and E18: I was looking for something GRAND.

    Alright, I’m going to be completely honest I was expecting something a little more epic than what I saw between Eugene and Bercouli Synthesis One. Like when every other before we got to Bercouli was epic and very well animated. You would think that the battle itself would be outright…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | Episode Six Review

    Takt Op. Destiny | Episode Six Review

    I’m not going to lie but Sagan and the New York Symphonica seem to be very sketchy. With every passing episode (especially episodes five and six) that sense of ‘sketchiness’ grows larger. I’m not sure why the Symphonica is focused so much on Takt or his father for that matter.…

  • Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Six Review

    Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Six Review

    It seems as though Red’s past is slowly starting to catch up to him. It may only just be me but it feels as though with every passing episode, we see more about Red’s past and its characters. It seems as though the calm life that Red and Rit were…

  • Blue Period | E5 and E6: You are your own enemy.

    Blue Period | E5 and E6: You are your own enemy.

    Yaguchi is such an interesting character. He makes Blue Period worth watching for sure because watching him constantly fight with himself as Yaguchi tries to navigate the world of Art has been extremely fascinating. Yaguchi is a very critical person, he’s very hard on himself. He wants to create a…

  • 86 2nd Season | E6: Forever known as the Eighty-Six.

    86 2nd Season | E6: Forever known as the Eighty-Six.

    Wow would you look at that the country that saved the San Republic’s Eighty-Six in the form of Shin and company are now willing to do what the San Republic has done with them and throw them back into the fire. On a suicide mission known as the “Spearhead” where…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Five: Happy Valentine’s Day.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Five: Happy Valentine’s Day.

    Kazama’s jealousy is something I find most amusing about this episode. As is typical with all valentine’s day episodes, there’s always bound to be that one misunderstanding that ruins a character’s mood throughout the episode until it’s cleared up at the end. This was the case for Kazama. Standing outside…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | First Impressions: Favourite Anime of the Season.

    Takt Op. Destiny | First Impressions: Favourite Anime of the Season.

    The United States of America has been in chaos ever since the emergence of D2s, an invasive species originating from a black meteorite that fell to Earth. A public decree banned citizens from playing any melodies, to prevent further casualties caused by the D2s’ hatred for music—even now, in 2047,…

  • Sakugan | Episode Five: It could have been better.

    Sakugan | Episode Five: It could have been better.

    This Bureau guy doesn’t seem so bad after all. In the words of Gagumber, they (Merooro and Memenpu) are both “nerds”. Which for once worked against Gagumber because Memenpu had someone of equal intelligence to talk and relate to. So in that regard, Gagumber had less thinking to do as…
