1. Bleg for a serious weaboo power

    This is little add-on for the latest ReLIFE manga chapter, 139. What does it mean, "英世は折ってはいけない"? I understand that she must not break something, but what? And why is it nostalgic? Scanlation's translation makes no sense. Google was no help …

  2. Strike Witches sequel announced

    Or so I read Beveridge's post.

    From a base in Petersburg in the Empire of Orussia, the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing “Brave Witches,” upon whom mankind has placed its hopes, flies with courage in the cold skies of eastern Europe.

    It's not only the Hollywood that's creatively bankrupt, it appears …

  3. ReLIFE

    It was over in a flash, I did not even have a moment to post the "begins" bracket. And now I'm posting before I had another to pull my thoughts together. But perhaps it's better that way, or else I'd be like Mr. Wonderduck, who I'm sure watched all it …

  4. Regalia is cancelled

    According to the notice posted to regalia-anime.jp, it's cancelled after 4 episodes (h/t sage). Or at least that's how I read "第4話をもって、放送をいったん終了とさせて頂きます。" I don't recall a …

  5. Planetarian begins

    Aren't we supposed to hate tragedies here? Only if they suck. Overwrought, artificial, meaningless tragedies are no good. But I heard good things about Planetarian VN and who knows, maybe we'll see a good adaptation. Available for streaming on DAISUKI.

  6. Bakuon suspended

    This one was officially credited to Chizumatic's post "boobs and bikes". And how is it possible to screw up this formula? Yet Bakuon only lasted 3 episodes. The impossibly stilted writing did it in, as well as lack of a compelling narrative, or actually anything interesting. Not even boobs were …

  7. Flying Witch suspended

    This failure wasn't entirely unexpected. If the anime industry can screw up Non-Non Biyori, they can screw up any slice-of-life. Poor Flying Witch did not even receive an imaginative screw-up. It simply was poorly drawn and animated, with cringeworthy scripting and acting. Especially the dude drove me up the wall …

  8. GATE suspended

    GATE started well and continued well for 10 episodes, but when the middle dragged in, I lost interest. The way Pinya was managed was super irritating, and in general it was just a bad patch. Not sure who the best girl really is. I suppose, it has to be Rory …

  9. Love Live Sunshine begins

    This wasn't blogged in the category, but I ragequit the original LL in the finale of Season 1, hard. Never seen S2. And now this. Why? I don't know, and I don't care. Perhaps I want to meet someone like Nico again. And if I have to put up with …

  10. Sweetness and Lightning begins

    Thank Jason for this one. He never made any promises about accuracy of thin slicing, except statistically. And S&L is toying with suspension right out of the gate.

    Reasons are... not very strong. The art of the dad is irritatingly substandard, for example. It is as if they focused …
