And so, the light-hearted sword-and-magic comedy came to a close... except that the new season is supposedly green-lit already. It remains to be seen if the creators keep this on track or drive it into the ground like Dog Days. I'm not too unhappy. What can you say, it's the …

What series do I enjoy the most this season? Well, ReLIFE, of course, but that's already over for those who did not need to stick to the fake "broadcast" schedule. So, what do I look forward to every week, then? The disastrous life of Saiki-kun, that's what. The "Saiki" is …

I only watched 3 episodes of LLS and it didn't grab my attention. However, a post at Beta-Waffle re-kindled my interest with an interesting spoiler:

read moreFlying 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 …
read moreGATE 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 …
