Oh hell nah, there’s another girl?? The boob show just got larger…I mean, expanded…oh hell. This damn Please Put Them On, Takamine-san show. It’s pretty but it’s so nasty.

I had a feeling this bad girl would get all the best frames in MHA Vigilantes. And I like it.

That “haru” “hamu” joke had me rolling. Mono is just funny and that’s it. It’s so much fun every week. You don’t get this kind of goodness anywhere but in anime.

It’s the flipping squirrel!! I wonder how many of us saw that coming! I didn’t, and I feel dumb now. It’s not bad writing actually. The Gorilla Girl anime rolls…wait…gorilla…squirrel….

Not a super dramatic resolution to that little mini arc in Go! Go! Loser Ranger S2, but we did have one surprise. It almost got intense there for a moment, as Sakurama recalled his main goal in infiltrating the Ranger Force. The artwork in this anime continues to impress.

“It’s not that I lost faith in you. After all,…” Osanai is not a normal person. Jogoro is not normal in normal way. Osanai is not normal in a seething, monstrous way. It’s not being normal that’s hard for her: it’s being human. Some questions remain about this case is Shoshimin.

Reiko’s “original” appearance is wildly different from her current appearance. Yet, come to think of it, it’s hard to tell exactly what makes up that difference. Just another fascinating and creative feature of Kowloon Generic Romance.

Ep6 of Kowloon Generic Romance was a whirlwind of information. One shocking element was constantly replaced by another. “Zettai no watashi,” “absolute self,” along with the brief “pet” allegory stood out to me. This show is really strange.

Well that was damn sad. The latest mystery in The Dinner Table Detective was fairly simple, but the ancillary details were heartbreaking. I hope Kuru Kuru-Chan gets 100 million subscribers. I think her voice is beautiful.

“Could you be the MC of a romcom story?” These partial fourth wall breaks in Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? show creativity by the writers. Also, it’s no secret what Enomoto wants, is it?

I dip back into Gintama everyone now and then, and it never, ever disappoints. Still the funniest anime I’ve ever seen.

Ouka needs to work on keeping the back. She keeps getting the best keyframes though. We got us a little classic sexually tense game of Twister in ep5 of The Shiunji Family Children.

The four girls of Magipoka (2006). People are most familiar with Liru the wolf girl for reasons, but all of them have their personality quirks. This show is very random but lots of fun, riding in on that last wave of late ‘90s anime into the new millennium.

I’ll be glad when this latest mystery in Shoshimin is explained to us. There are a lot of moving parts. I think I mostly have it figured out, and the culprit may have already accomplished their goal. And I think anybody who follows this series probably knows who that culprit is.

Chiwa Saito will always be one of the most badass female seiyuu. She's outstanding even with these proud loli adult character types. When she's acting in the same scene as Hiroaki Hirata and still owning the scene, you know she's good.

Among the many underlying themes flowing through Kowloon Generic Romance, the fishbowl theme is the one that stands out the most. The writers are intentionally focusing on it. I wonder if it has any meaning beyond the obvious corollary meaning.

Kyousougiga is one of the most beautiful anime I’ve ever seen. It sits easily at #1 on Anteiku Anime’s Hidden Gem list. If I had to put it simply: it’s everything an anime should be, and will make you feel things that cannot be put into words.
