Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san | First Impressions
As expected, Izumi’s family is a weird one. That is the biggest thing I learned from the third episode of Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san. I will admit, I thought the third episode of Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san was a little dull. As I’ve mentioned countless times in the…

Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku | First Impressions: The happiest of characters.
Almost immediately you can tell that Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku was going to be one of those happy anime. Three episodes in and I think it’s safe to say that Akebi-chan, who if you haven’t already guessed is the main character of the anime is the happiest character I’ve ever seen.…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | First Impressions
I must say, getting back into watching Sword Art Online again has been refreshing. Being able to watch something else that isn’t ‘current’ and doesn’t feel like an anime that conforms to current trends in the anime world has been great. If you have followed me from the very beginning,…

Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. | First Impressions
By far, Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru, is the most interesting anime that I have the pleasure of watching. Typically I’m not one to actively seek out mystery anime (I’ve discussed my preferences plenty of times by now). However, something about this anime stood out at me and screamed “watch me”.…
