The dashboard is at Reverse Thieves for 2017. I admit to being slightly relieved that nobody invited me, because the selection mostly consisted of either series that I watched and blogged and or those that I really do not want to watch, let alone blog. The only one that I …
read moreBobduh on NetoJuu
His usual pointer to ANN contained this summary:
read moreThe show was one of the most engaging romances I’ve seen in a while, and in general just a very welcome ray of sunshine in a largely miserable real-world year. It told a tightly written romance well, offered plenty of alternately …
Marina on Boruto
NetoJuu ends
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 …
read moreNetoJuu begins
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 …

Congratulations! Over the years, we linked to Ogiue Maniax many times, and I just received a little scare trying to find the latest article. It was in the backups, but not on the site! Apparently, a draft was saved about Nico-Nico-niiiii, but the polemic with SDS never happened. We'd just …
read moreGamers ends
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 …
read moreJubei-chan accidental rewatch
Crunchyroll posted Jubei-chan and I thought to give it a go, to complement J2. Completed it, went to blog, and... I have already watched it. But I had absolutely no recollection. Dementia is no joke.
This time around, I didn't see much angst in Jubei-chan. People do what they have …
read moreDaisuki is dead
So much for the power of the incumbent that was supposed to crush independent streaming licensees like Crunchyroll. I think the last thing I watched there was One Punch Man. They managed to annoy me quite a bit by posting attractive, but premium-only shows in the last few months. But …
read moreAnison is what now?
You know that discussion, if RWBY is anime, right? I think it's not, but... Here's more of the same. I was watching A.I.Channel today and our virtual youtuber is singing songs from "Anison Karaoke Rankings". I guess karaoke boxes compile the numbers of requests? And the No.5 …
