That was outstanding, but why is it so short? It's not only that 10 episodes for a cour is unusual, but pieces were clearly trimmed mid-production. The ED shows us the RL persona of what seems to be Niko, visiting someone (probably Moriko), but she is not present in the …

The Autumn 2017 season delivers us another anime romcom, and it's even better than Gamers. It's about adults, and the lead is "unreasonably cute". I may not have seen anything like this since Kayoko, girlfriend of Sunred. Noto voices her very nicely, and I didn't even realize it was Noto …

Upside: Tendou's smile that you want to protect. Downside: Too little of her, too much of Desu-desu. No real ending, either. But then some things got resolved, so it could be worse. Also, that ED track was great.
For whatever reason, I watched Gamers raw, and although the Japanese itself …

Somehow it reminded me about a letter where J.R …

All aboard the ship-shipping ship shipping relation-ships! We were following a few series this season, but none were enticing enough to blog... Until Mr. Nova Jinx said at #animeblogger:
<Lupus-sol> is that animu any good?read more
<NovaJinx> it's pretty crappy but in an amusing way
<NovaJinx> everyone expected it to be …
You know how really good anime cannot be spoiled, because it's so good that it's impossible to spoil, right? I'm going to spoil the New Game manga now, because it's like that.
Our hero, Aoba, enters another no-holds-barred competition with her idol and mentor, Yagami. They have to produce a …

Aside from all the comedy, two things Youjo Senki left with me are 1) Germans in the Japanese mind, and 2) unfinished anime.
Generally speaking, I am allright with anime based on an unfinished source. I mean, who doesn't love Mahoraba? Although, every time it ends abrubtly like Sacred Blacksmith …

Bricmuppet's evolution is not uncommon. Mr. JTFish, too, started as a ball of hate and ended with "how do I live without EMILY!!! (now that Eromanga-sensei is over)".
One funny thought about this... I suspect strongly that in the LN author's mind, Elf and Muramasa are peers, loser comrades in …
