Okay, I’ve put this post off for long enough… did everyone else find the autumn season anime really underwhelming on average, or did I just skip the good shows? Propped up by reliable sequels and one or two new gems, for me. But please do let me know in the comments if there’s anything you’d recommend that isn’t on the list below!

AngryJellyfish’s Manga Purchases (2025)
November 30, 2025Time for a manga post! An event that seems to only happen every 3 years or so nowadays, but I’ll keep it to a selection of the series that I read in 2025, as they’ll be fresher in my mind.
A full list of what I’m currently reading, or finished earlier this year, can be found here~

Anime I dropped – summer 2025
September 30, 2025Before each anime season, I make a shortlist of all the upcoming series I’m most interested in, based on their synopses, trailers, and any other information I’m able to gather. As long as they get licensed and translated, those anime will be the first ones I watch. Usually I get it right first time, though occasionally one or two don’t impress me, and end up getting swapped out for something else.
This summer’s shortlist may not have yielded any Übel Blatt or Your Forma level catastrophes, but I still ended up with three series that didn’t quite click with me after ~3 episodes. If anyone else did end up watching these to completion, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts, and whether you enjoyed them more than I did.

Summer 2025 anime spotlight: Turkey!
August 31, 2025Last season, I highlighted three anime series that stood out to me half-way through; not necessarily the best shows airing, but ones that surprised me in one way or another and that (based on anime listing site stats) weren’t getting many views.
This summer, there’s really only one anime that fits even that loosely-defined criteria: the least watched series on my lineup by a considerable margin, Turkey! Time to Strike~

Spring 2025 End of Season Rankings
July 31, 2025What an amazing anime season that was! It does help that there are so many to choose from these days, and that I’m no longer forcing myself to slog through the ones that I’m not enjoying.
So here are fifteen good series, starting with the flawed but fun, and ending with the the best thing I’ve watched since Steins;Gate and Nichijou shared a season back in spring 2011.

Anime I dropped – winter & spring 2025
June 29, 2025Trying out something different again! 2025 has been a difficult year for me so far, but one of the changes I’ve made to try and improve it is ensuring that I’m actually having fun during leisure time, after work and on days off. For example, I stopped playing MTG Arena about a month ago, the game that’s been a huge time sink since I joined the open beta in 2018. I haven’t enjoyed a lot of the changes to the game over the past few years, and playing had started to feel more like a routine chore than a fun pastime. Now that I’ve stopped I have a lot more time for other things. Might still dip back in when the new sci-fi set releases in August though, we’ll see. 😛
But back to anime – I’m also being way more proactive in dropping series that I’m not enjoying. Which might lead to boring end of season ranking posts, if none of the truly awful series survive long enough for me to see their endings, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for my long-term wellbeing! Instead, I’ll post about the anime I couldn’t bring myself to finish here. Only one from the current spring season, but I’ll throw in the one I abandoned back in winter too, because yeah, something that season annoyed me more than GoHands’ Momentary Lily, and that is an achievement worthy of recognition.

Spring 2025 anime – three underrated series
May 28, 2025I’m trying something different, for the first time in many years – rather than just posting the usual mid-season rankings list of everything I’m watching, I’m instead going to highlight three anime series that stand out for me at this stage, and that aren’t already getting a massive amount of views (based on Anime-Planet, AniList and MyAnimeList stats). These aren’t necessarily my three favourites from the season either, but they all surprised me in one way or another.
End of season rankings posts will continue as before~
