  • 86 2nd Season | E5: The Battle Begins.

    86 2nd Season | E5: The Battle Begins.

    Is it me or is Shin starting to enjoy the horrors of war? Like if that’s the face you see while they are going around killing. Personally, I’d be pretty freaked out, it’s almost like Shin is enjoying killing the Legion. It’s like what happened to Frederica’s knight Kiriya, eventually,…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | E5: Shady characters inbound.

    Takt Op. Destiny | E5: Shady characters inbound.

    This Schindler character, the so-called “chief commander of “New York Symphonica” seems to be a very shady character for what it’s worth. He seems to be highly interested in Cosette and Takt, but Cosette is the primary focus as she’s the superweapon for obvious reasons. Just with how he speaks…

  • Shiroi Suna no Aquatope | E16 and E17: Understanding one another.

    Shiroi Suna no Aquatope | E16 and E17: Understanding one another.

    Episodes sixteen and seventeen were the first two episodes where you didn’t really feel any sort of tension between characters. And you know what? That is something I really like believe it or not. I don’t know why this was the case for so long but for me, the tension…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | First Impressions: Potential.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | First Impressions: Potential.

    Igarashi Futuba’s new job would be great if her senpai, Takeda Harumi, wasn’t so incredibly annoying! Futuba hates his laugh, she hates how big he is, and she really hates that he treats her like a little kid. Just because Futuba is short and looks young doesn’t make her a…

  • Banished from the Hero’s Party | E4 and E5: It feels like something is missing.

    Banished from the Hero’s Party | E4 and E5: It feels like something is missing.

    The more I watch Banished from the Hero’s Party, the less enthusiastic I become. Maybe it’s the premise of anime, but something about it isn’t really clicking with me anymore. Watching two characters live their lives normally in a fantasy world, just isn’t really doing it for me. What stuck…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Four: You need that one fever episode.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | Episode Four: You need that one fever episode.

    There always has to be at least one fever episode where both of the protagonists decide it’s time to have a fever. The first half of the episode was Igarashi, the latter half was Takeda and the filler or middle part of the episode was geared towards Igarashi helping Takeda…

  • Sakugan | First Impressions: The Best Father-Daughter Duo.

    Sakugan | First Impressions: The Best Father-Daughter Duo.

    Far in the future, the human beings were pushed into the deep underground world called Labyrinth and they are living shoulder-to-shoulder. The Labyrinth has several colonies with severe settings such as one having an insanely high temperature, while another is full of gold and silver. Among those, in a colony…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | E4: The Plot Thickens.

    Takt Op. Destiny | E4: The Plot Thickens.

    Episode four of Takt Op. Destiny was fascinating. It’s also a shame that this is where we part ways with a character that has really grown on me. Lenny has been one of my favourite characters. I love his personality, how he dresses and how he teases Takt. He’s also…

  • Blue Period | First Impressions: Great so far.

    Blue Period | First Impressions: Great so far.

    Second-year high school student Yatora Yaguchi is a delinquent with excellent grades, but is unmotivated to find his true calling in life. Yatora spends his days working hard to maintain his academic standing while hanging out with his equally unambitious friends. However, beneath his carefree demeanor, Yatora does not enjoy…

  • Sakugan | Episode 4: A Day under House Arrest.

    Sakugan | Episode 4: A Day under House Arrest.

    Not going to lie, I’m not sure why Memenpu and Gagumber are (basically) under house arrest in this colony they find themselves in. You would think that this Bureau guy would offer more information as to who he is and his role in this Bureau. All we really know from…

  • Sword Art Online: Alicization | E13 through E16: Finally, some good stuff.

    Sword Art Online: Alicization | E13 through E16: Finally, some good stuff.

    There’s a method to my madness here. Something I noticed early on with Sword Art Online: Alicization was that it seems as though every other episode is a setup episode followed by one of SAO’s signature fight sequences. It may not actually be every other episode is a fight scene,…

  • 86 2nd Season | First Impressions: Could it be better?

    86 2nd Season | First Impressions: Could it be better?

    The disappearance of the Spearhead Squadron beyond the horizon does little to hide the intensity of the Republic of San Magnolia’s endless propaganda. Vladilena Milizé continues to operate as “Handler One,” the commander of yet another dehumanized 86th faction’s squadron in the continuous war against the Legion. On the Western…

  • Blue Period | E3 and 4: Self Discovery.

    Blue Period | E3 and 4: Self Discovery.

    Blue Period is a very interesting anime. I thought episodes three and four carried the same level of intrigue. I’m not an artisty person so I have a hard time understanding and interpreting what is said throughout both episodes. That being said, the biggest takeaway from both episodes was that…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | E3: Lovin’ the supporting cast.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | E3: Lovin’ the supporting cast.

    What I enjoyed most about episode three was that the supporting cast seems to be more than just supporting characters and that’s what I love. While Igarashi and Takeda are the main focus of the anime, I love how Sakurai and Kazama still feature quite a bit. Since Sakurai and…

  • 86 2nd Season | Episode 4: The build up.

    86 2nd Season | Episode 4: The build up.

    I didn’t think episode four was all that eventful. Something I’ve definitely noticed about 86 2nd Season is that it seems like every other episode has a lot more content than the previous. For example, I thought episode one was good, episode two not so much, then episode three was…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | E3: Hints and Details.

    Takt Op. Destiny | E3: Hints and Details.

    The animations are just so slick, the fight scenes are just so good. How could you not dislike it. There were many things I liked about episode three of Takt Op. Destiny. It offered a lot more information on Musicarts and how someone like Cosette was able to become one.…

  • Banished from the Hero’s Party | E3: A whole lot of nothin’.

    Banished from the Hero’s Party | E3: A whole lot of nothin’.

    Okay, so I will admit. I did go skim through the manga, so I know what is to come for the series. However, I won’t be spoiling anything, so you don’t need to worry. Now that I’ve gotten my admission out of the way, it’s that time of day where…

  • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | E2: I’ve got a feeling, I’m going to like this anime.

    Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi | E2: I’ve got a feeling, I’m going to like this anime.

    I’ve got a feeling, that this anime is going to be a good one. Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi feels like it’ll be one of those comedies that’ll work for me. A lot of this has to do with the characters, I think they have the right blend of…

  • Sakugan | Episode Three: Overconfidence can only get you so far.

    Sakugan | Episode Three: Overconfidence can only get you so far.

    Memenpu is a fascinating character. She’s a very outgoing, overly confident but also highly intelligent nine year old. However, she’s overly confident to a fault (as shown by episode three). Memenpu and her father, Gagumber are polar opposites yes, but they balance each other out and that’s what I love…

  • 86 2nd Season | Episode 3: Back to the Killing Fields.

    86 2nd Season | Episode 3: Back to the Killing Fields.

    Back to the killing fields we go, back to the place where the figure named “The Reaper” known to us as Shin got his name. As is customary with 86 Eighty-Six, we experienced a roller coaster of emotions, we go from the highs of knowing that Fido is still alive.…
