Carole and Tuesday Key Visual

The second half of Carole and Tuesday was finally released on Netflix in Australia on Christmas Eve and… wow. In a sense Carole and Tuesday reminds me, in a good way, of Nagi no Asukura and, in a bad way, of Glasslip. Continue reading →

Whatever else can be said about Rumiko Takahashi[1], you know what you’re going to get when a new Takahashi anime adaptation appears[2].

In other words: light entertainment, some comedy, a romance that probably won’t go anywhere, and probably a new character every week. There’s nothing wrong with that so long as that’s what you’re in the mood for, and don’t make the mistake of expecting anything else[3]. Continue reading →

I admit it: choosing “Oh what a lovely trainwreck” in the How Low Will GLASSLIP Go Poll was unwarranted optimism on my part.

I should have chosen either “What were they thinking? Were they thinking at all?” or “Oh well, we’ll still have Nagi no Asukara and Hanasaku Iroha”. Continue reading →
