Ahh! I forgot to post this two days ago! Ikoku Nikki reaches episode 10 with another batch of little scenes around little ideas. Asa keeps considering the word "curse," writing it down, looking it up, and one of the definitions has to to with being limited in freedom by exterior coercion, and we get some … Continue reading My five shows – 8-10
Beach trips are like that sometimes. Nothing much in Tamon-kun ima Docchi?. Utage and the three basic F/FACE members keep meeting accidentally in one of the most crowded, busiest cities in the world. Ouri spots Utage first and begins to follow her, then Utage runs into Tamon, and then Keito, who has them come to … Continue reading 7-9s, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, Frieren2, Kirei no Shite, Seihantai
I was a little surprised with Tamon-kun ima Docchi? 8, in that the summer video shooting went as smoothly as it did. Keito was keeping an eye on Utage to make sure she doesn't go crazy-fangirl on anyone, and of course Utage was busy trying to keep Tamon's spirits up, but both bits were brief, … Continue reading The usual, sevens, eights, and one six.
Off she goes to pay her debt. Two light sketches in Sousou no Frieren 5, and I'm beginning to wonder if we'll get a big story arc at all. The first concerns an encounter with the dwarf Fass, who begs Frieren and company to unseal a door to get at Boshaft, which an elf wrote … Continue reading Frieren 5, Seihantai 6, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, and Kirei no Shite 7
A would-be couple. C'mon Stark, compliment Fern on her pretty purple dress! The big date in Sousou no Frieren 4 was about as you'd expect. Stark isn't sure what to do, I mean, at least compliment Fern's pretty purple dress and not just mutter, minutes later, comment that she's not wearing her usual outfit. From … Continue reading Frieren 4 (I’m behind), Seihantai 5, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki, and Kirei no Shite 6
His actual big sister is right next to him. No discussion of Kinme's past in Kirai ni Shite Moraemasuka 4, except for one conversation which gets interrupted. Instead Kinme meets Kuriru, who's blasting Febreeze on her clothes on the train, and we learn that that's bad for the sweat stains underneath and builds up, our … Continue reading Around the 4s and 5s.
Kinme has her first drink. In Kirei ni Shite Moraemasu ka 3 we learn that the ever-reliable Kinme can screw up sometimes. Her friend Yagara invites her to a new restaurant, she takes her first drink, and oversleeps the next day. Some old ladies outside wonder why the store isn't open yet and appoint Kyu … Continue reading 2-4s: Kirei ni Shite, Frieren, Seihantai, Kamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki
Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna 2 livens things up a little with what looks like serious stalking activity directed toward Light (light elf) and Karma (dark elf), who run that tea shop where you mix your own, and that Yako and Tonome both visited before. Light and Karma are a fun couple, the former being … Continue reading 2s and 3s – Toumei Otoko, Seihantai, Yuusha Party, Tamon-kun, Ikoku Nikki
But no pressure. Moving on the the twos, Yuusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyoubinbou, one of two Yuusha shows to make the cut, has Orhun agreeing and beginning the training session--leading a group of rookies through 51 dungeon levels in three days, which is kind of insane. Why the Silver Rabbits clan is doing this is … Continue reading Some twos, and Frieren 2 one.
Shibuya. Yuusha no Kuzu (Yuusha #4) has a world where magical injections give people superpowers, leading to a bunch of superpowered gangs, a school of superpowered girls training to defeat them, and a group called the "Braves," lowlifes with powers who take on jobs for cash. Our main character, Yashino, one of the latter, is … Continue reading New Shows Winter 2026 4
