Spring seems to be a very quiet season in a lot of ways. For one thing, apparently anime production is down 20%. Something I find a good thing because production has gone too far recently and needs a break. Perhaps a larger break then this? The other reason is that I haven’t found a lot … More Weekly Seasonal Watches: 4/15/18 (Some First Impressions Inside)
Winter 2019 was something unique to be sure. Some very eye opening experiences in terms of shows that I enjoyed and didn’t enjoy as much as I could have. They came along with me thinking about how I mentally approach different genres of anime with the sort of content they present to me. Is that … More Winter 2019 Anime in Review
Happy April Fool’s Day! I’m not going to be posting any sort of joke on here. Just going to talk about some anime because that is what I do. Especially since a lot of them ended recently. Since next week is empty seasonal anime wise, that’s when I am posting my Winter 2019 In Review … More Weekly Seasonal Watching: 4/1/18
I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this post out this week, because flying to Kansas City and back in a 48 hour period for job interview purposes may have happened at the beginning of the week, but really tired me out for the rest of it. I guess that’s why a lot … More Seasonal Anime Watches: 3/25/18
Most shows have been good this week, but I really exhausted from shows that repeat a note or two without taking it in any new direction. I know why Promised Neverland is doing that, so it gets a pass and everything. Kaguya-sama on the hand has had potential, but has reverted to me not caring … More Weekly Seasonal Watches: 3/18/19
This past week had a very mixed set of episodes. Some were interesting, but others I am wonder why they are doing what they are doing or even why can’t they be consistent. My week was pretty good though. I’ve gotten farther on the report I’ve been working on and I’ve got an onsite interview … More Weekly Seasonal Watches: 3/11/18
Why do all the emotional beats of things have to appear around the same week in seasonal anime? It hurts so much and having one emotional episode after another hurts so much. Please stop this, anime studios. Why you do this? Mob Psycho 100 S2 Episode 8 What a completely wholesome episode until the end … More Weekly Seasonal Watches: 3/4/18
A lot of emotionally stinging episodes this week. Is this a trend? Are seasonal shows going to do the same things at the same time? It’s happened before in other seasonal anime. In this post, I do not have any talk about Boogie Pop beyond episode 9. I realize there are four episodes out there … More Weekly Seasonal Watches 2/25/18
Is it me or does it seem like some shows are starting to air earlier and earlier each season and having weird episode lengths? Do some studios just want to break up the seasonal format and do whatever they want? I’m kind of all for that. Especially since a lot of people are complaining about … More Winter 2019 Anime At The Half Way Point?
Not much to talk about this week besides how annoying it is when it snows and it decides to stick around for a while. It has a habit of ruining a lot of things that involve going places. Dororo Episode 6 While the fantasy aspect is in full play in Dororo, it only deepens the … More Weekly Seasonal Watches: 2/18/19
