This year’s Summer of Manga/Anime has come to a close and I’m ready to let the words fly with the strength I’ve used to keep them steady. Continue reading “Reflecting on The Summer of Manga/Anime 2018 + Future Plans”

Entry #30: FLCL (SoM/A 2018)
This was a long time coming. Continue reading “Entry #30: FLCL (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #29: Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (SoM/A 2018)
This anime can be categorized as three things: self-indulgent, disgusting, and stupid. One need not think hard about where this train is heading. Continue reading “Entry #29: Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #28: Devilman: Crybaby (SoM/A 2018)
I won’t say much about this one, as I believe it’s another experience that’s especially heightened when people go in blind. All that may potentially spoil is the following proclamation: I’m going to have to watch something sickly sweet now because FUCK was this depressing. Continue reading “Entry #28: Devilman: Crybaby (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #27: Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! (SoM/A 2018)
Back at the time, I opened my “review” of Umi Monogatari by highlighting how underrated it is, listing notable anime titles with higher average ratings I found it superior to. While this receives nowhere near the kind of shit ratings Ume Monogatari gets, it’s still confusingly low in my mind. Its average rating on MAL is a measly 7.4, putting it within the 2000’s in terms of overall average in the database. Continue reading “Entry #27: Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #26: Green Green (SoM/A 2018)
Yes, I watched this. Yes, I was aware it’s considered one of the worst anime of all time. Yes, I regret it. Continue reading “Entry #26: Green Green (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #25: Romeo x Juliet (SoM/A 2018)
[This post is dedicated to a friend.]
This series reminds me of two other series: Senjou no Valkyrie and Fable III. If anyone aside from me is familiar with these two things, one will have a good idea of what they’re getting into with Romeo x Juliet. If not, allow me to explain. Continue reading “Entry #25: Romeo x Juliet (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #24: Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (SoM/A 2018)
Before I begin, an admission: I’ve wanted to watch this series ever since it came out. Why? Because it looks so damn adorable. By this I mean not the characters’ interactions with each other or the way trailers may have presented the story, but literally how the anime looks. Continue reading “Entry #24: Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #23: Aho Girl (SoM/A 2018)
A short quip for a short show. Continue reading “Entry #23: Aho Girl (SoM/A 2018)”
Entry #22: Sora yori mo Tooi Basho (SoM/A 2018)
Let’s see what I watched during the Winter season of 2018:
Violet Evergarden, Koi Ameagari, and the Basilisk sequel, which I never finished. Two decent shows, but nothing super substantial. I had seen that the show being spotlighted in this post was fairly popular, yet I never remember seeing any substantial hype for it around the anicommunity. Seasonal Prattle wrote one post on it some time back, but otherwise I’m either completely blind or I unintentionally ignored anything about it while it was airing.
I open with this because my question now, after seeing it, is “Where the FUCK have I been?” Continue reading “Entry #22: Sora yori mo Tooi Basho (SoM/A 2018)”
