… Because I decided to do something fun and productive with my time (i.e. going on vacation) in stead of wasting it on this lousy piece of work. But don’t worry! In celebration of Sunshine! recycling the exact same plot as its illustrious predecessor, you can always recycle some of my earlier posts and pretend it’s this week’s one. See you next week!
In order to get increase Aqours’ popularity, Chika decides to adopt Yoshiko’s “fallen angel” gimmick, yet Yoshiko herself wants nothing more than to grow out of her geeky delusions and live the life of an average high school student. Furthermore, Aqours’ other members aren’t exactly keen on welcoming ‘Yohane’ to the party.
After being officially acknowledged as a club, Chika, You and Riko set their targets on their underclassmen. Ruby, however, is afraid her sister will not allow her to become a school idol, while Hanamaru is convinced a country bumpkin like her could never be one.
The chairwoman of Uranoboshi High School makes herself known and promises Chika, You and Riko the school will acknowledge their idol group if they manage to fill up the entire auditorium for a performance. Though initially euphoric, the girls soon realize that getting the entire school to attend will not be enough.
Futaba Ooki has recently moved to the seaside and is nervous about making her entrance at the local high school. Her worries are soon laid to rest, however, when an even stranger person turns out to be joining her class, and kooky, deep-sea diving Hikari Kinoshita is hell-bent on making Futaba her friend.
Despite having met over half a dozen potential new members in the span of a single episode, Chika still hasn’t come any closer to realizing her dream of starting her own school idol group. When Riko refuses her offer for the umpteenth time, Chika and You set out to help fix whatever it is preventing the transfer student from joining their club. By any means necessary.
In the most unconvincing premise of the season, a high school graduate gets hired without any credentials or prior experience at a company led by a woman.
After an unfortunate incident caused him to lose his job, Arata Kaizaki has been struggling to return to the job market. One day, however, a man named Ryo Yoake approaches him with a proposal that seems to absurd to be true. Yoake claims to work for the ReLIFE Laboratory, an organization tasked with ‘rehabilitating’ NEETs (Not undergoing Employment, Education or Training) like Kaizaki by sending them back to high school for a year.
If you go about doing a season preview, it is only obvious you also close off on a season review. In The Wrap-Up, all of our contributors get to shine a spotlight on the show they thought to be the very best of the past few weeks, as well as reflect back on the preview to…
We’ve made it to the final part of our seasonal anime preview, with a few more surprises left in store. In parts one and two, we already covered the shows set to premiere in the first week of July, now it’s time to take a look at all the leftovers; including a new anime original…
Welcome back to the only preview guide where ‘cautiously optimistic’ is the highest possible praise! In the previous part, you could witness my nominal interest in ReLIFE and Orange, but I’m afraid that charade is conclusively over and done with now. This ain’t a place for no heroes, kiddo. We’ve already seen the best 2016’s summer will…
Who remembers ye goode aulde days when the summer lineup of anime was a wasteland bigger than the Naruto subreddit after a shipping war? Nowadays, all seasons get their fair and equal share of anime, likely because Aniplex and co. finally realized that nerds never really go out, not even in summer. This leaves the task of culling the prospected…
With the season more than halfway over, it’s time to once again dig into our favorite songs from shows that have been airing for the past few months. While our Winter 2016 slate was impressively diverse, it seems the crew have pretty much converged on the best songs en masse this time round. Still, since it’s been a really good season for OPs and EDs that’s not exactly a problem.
Ten years ago, so-called “Orders” started showing up – people granted incredible powers to make their wishes come true. Eiji is one of them, yet after he foolishly wished for the power to destroy the world and caused a great calamity, he has decided to dedicate his life to caring for his sickly sister. Until another Order shows up who claims Eiji’s wish killed her parents, and Eiji finds out he might not have been responsible for the world’s destruction after all…

A far too large group of hopelessly inexperienced and under-qualified girls go straight floating on a boat on the deep blue sea.

It’s spring, so it’s time to break out the shorts! This season, we have Space Patrol Luluco, Pan de Peace!, Bishoujo Yuugi Unite Crane Game Girls and Onigiri to, err, look forward to.
A writer known for unintentionally turning drama into hilarity teams up with a director finding hilarity in even the biggest tragedy. What could possibly go wrong?
After twelve weeks of guilt, grief and gratuitous gluteus maximus, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash has come to an end, so it’s time to consider all of its vices and virtues one more time and see if this show deserves to stand as the one “trapped in a video game” anime to trump them all, or if it will go down in history as little more than a curiosity.
