My rampage through Netflix is winding down as my family is slated to return next week, and it looks like finishing with a bang.
When I watch Gokusen, I have to set aside my principles. I do not abide by romantization of crime …
read moreFor some, it's an anime about miko magic, but for me it will be about the two little deities. Their substory was that moving.
Liked: Yes
Rewatch: No
Notes:

read moreIn AMG S1, I was looking forward to eye candy, and it does not disappoint. The visual implementation is breathtaking.
