    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.…

  • Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu | Episode Two: A brilliant Strategist.

    Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu | Episode Two: A brilliant Strategist.

    The second episode of Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu was definitely a better episode. It was an episode where we got to see a different side to Wein, we got to see the strategist within him and you know what? That was pretty epic. It definitely gave off…

  • Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season | Episode Two: Boring Politics

    Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season | Episode Two: Boring Politics

    Similar to episode one, episode two is just a bunch of talking. Politics and anime do not go well together and the second episode of Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season has proven this to be true. Now I won’t bash the anime just yet because I believe…

  • Slow Loop | Episode One: Slice of Lifeness.

    Slow Loop | Episode One: Slice of Lifeness.

    You can never go wrong with a slice of life anime. Slow Loop is no different. It’s always nice to have one or two more relaxed anime. It’s akin to a detox, something that is very much needed at times. So what did I think about the first episode of…

  • Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu | Episode One: When you try your best to fail, but you accidentally succeed.

    Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu | Episode One: When you try your best to fail, but you accidentally succeed.

    I’ll be completely honest here. I’m not sure whether or not I like the male protagonist Wein Salema Arbalest. Maybe it’s because of how he’s portrayed in the anime, but I think he’s a little too annoying for my liking. Whenever there was a scene of Wein speaking to himself,…

  • Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season | Episode One: Souma has the high ground.

    Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season | Episode One: Souma has the high ground.

    Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki 2nd Season picks up immediately where Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki left off. It is because of this, where the first episode literally feels like it was supposed to be part of season one, that makes me think that season one should have…

  • Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku | Episode One: How to stand out 101.

    Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku | Episode One: How to stand out 101.

    Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku has also been an anime that I’ve had my eyes on too (currently writing about episode one after watching and writing about the first episode of Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru). The biggest reason I had my eyes on this anime, in particular, was because…

  • Maoujou de Oyasumi | Anime Review: When all you want is to sleep comfortably.

    Maoujou de Oyasumi | Anime Review: When all you want is to sleep comfortably.

    Maoujou de Oyasumi is an interesting anime, in large part because of its premise. Syalis is only interested in achieving the most comfortable sleep imaginable. Even if that means indirectly breaking every rule in the demon world, she finds herself in to achieve the best sleep possible. The Demon Lord…

  • Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear | Anime Review: The OP Bear Lady.

    Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear | Anime Review: The OP Bear Lady.

    Yuna is like the Kirito of this fantasy world, insanely overpowered but she is also the Robin Hood of the anime as well. Imagine being sucked into this new world by this ‘god’ who then bestows you with arguably the most overpowered item in the game, in the form of…

  • Ase to Sekken (Sweat and Soap) | My New Favourite Manga.

    Ase to Sekken (Sweat and Soap) | My New Favourite Manga.

    I will admit, manga isn’t something I dabble too often in. Well, not as much as I used to. When I was younger, I would watch anime and read manga, but as time went on, things naturally changed. Until December rolled around. There was something within me that wanted to…

  • Sakugan | Anime Review: Too many questions, not enough answers.

    Sakugan | Anime Review: Too many questions, not enough answers.

    The “Labyrinth” is an expansive space deep underground where humans live in clusters known as “colonies.” Over the years, the surface has become a distant memory—even perhaps only a fantasy to those who have never experienced its wonders. Making sure humanity survives the harsh conditions of the underground, a colony’s…

  • Takt Op. Destiny | Anime Review: A lesser Guilty Crown.

    Takt Op. Destiny | Anime Review: A lesser Guilty Crown.

    ** SPOILERS ALL AROUND ** When I think of Takt Op. Destiny, I think of Guilty Crown, and there is no way I can avoid making such a comparison. Everything about Takt Op. Destiny, especially towards the end, felt very similar to how Guilty Crown ended. In what ways are…

  • Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E9 – E10: Episodic Goodness.

    Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. | E9 – E10: Episodic Goodness.

    Out of all the episodes I’ve seen, I think that the ninth and tenth episode of Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. were its best episodes. I think that has to do with the various ‘arcs’ that were covered throughout each episode. It just made everything very enjoyable, it was like they…
