Wow.

Just wow.

How is it possible for an anime that started so intelligently to veer off course so much and then end so epically badly?

How is it possible to so thoroughly sabotage the core themes of the opening episodes so much? Continue reading →

Say "i Love You", Tsuki ga Kirei

Tsuki ga Kirei aka as the moon, so beautiful, is in many ways the unexpected gem of the Spring 2017 anime series. It’s certainly the show I’m most looking forward to each week.

Tsuki ga Kirei is simply a charming show built on a romance that feels natural, unforced, with main characters that are convincingly teenagers. Continue reading →

Say "i Love You"

As with The World is Still Beautiful[1] I’ve been revisiting Say “I Love You”[2] recently and have a few thoughts to add to my original reviews. I get a little ranty about episode 13 at the end, so there are spoilers ahead.

First up, despite the problematic start to the series, Say “I Love You” is a surprisingly mature look at high school life. Whilst many of the shoujo tropes around shy high school romances are in play for Mei and Yamato, there is a refreshing dose of reality in several other characters. Continue reading →

This is going to be a little difficult as the stats page that I usually use for these posts has disappeared[1].

So there isn’t a 4th quarter rankings this year, nor is there an all-time ranking. Continue reading →

Kiss Him, Not Me (aka Watashi ga Motete Dōsunda[1]) is an amusing enough show if you can ignore the dangerous body image / nutrition issues within the premise.

However Kiss Him, Not Me is also showing early signs of Ranma ½  syndrome, so I’m unlikely to watch any more should a second series appear[2]. Continue reading →
