Wow, this has been a weak season of anime hasn’t it? I almost never drop a show even if it’s bad. I usually watch them through so I can post thoughts and have a point of reference in conversation. Or maybe some shows get better later, which has happened before. Some shows do a slow… Continue reading My Fall 2015 Anime Midseason Thoughts

Yuki Takeya is… Continue reading School Live! (Gakkō Gurashi!)
