We talk about more new shows, go in-depth on Shin Kamen Rider, and Iro resists a possible career as an isekai light novel writer.
It’s our 11th anniversary and we get a little nostalgic, daring to ask if anime is better or worse than it was in 2013. This might not be the best anime season to ask that question, but hey, we did find some things to watch!
Fukuzawa is a hard working young woman who spends most of her day at the office, then comes home to her pet cat. This particular cat just happens to be the size of a human, and masterfully handles all the household chores.
We share our final thoughts on the Spring 2023 season, a solid group of shows that managed to survive some bumpy endings. Yes, that includes Birdie Wing and Gundam.
A vending machine otaku is ironically killed in a accident where he is crushed by a vending machine. He is reincarnated as a vending machine into a fantasy world. Vending machine.
Shinozaki is constantly doted on by his senior coworker, a petite woman with comically oversized breasts.
We’ll be back soon though!
We do our best to preview the Summer 2023 season, but still end up talking about Birdie Wing and Gundam.
Aqua has dared to question the unassailable Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story, and we wonder if our favorite shows this season will cross the finish line without falling apart.
As we approach the final stretch of the season, I still can’t decide if Oshi no Ko is good. But hey, plenty of other good shows as we get into Birdie Wing, Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyo), and we talk about one episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury for almost as long as the episode itself.
We discuss Oshi no Ko possibly not living up to its explosive start, our disappointment with Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage, and everyone’s favorite show about star crossed lesbians being manipulated by their parents and powerful corporations… and maybe even some Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury!
Yes, we know there are other anime airing this season besides Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story, so we spend some time talking about other new shows… but we also talk about Birdie Wing.
Ganta Nakami suffers from insomnia, and it’s ruining his school life. One day he attempts to take nap in the old school observatory, only to encounter a girl who beat him to it. The two become fast friends as they bond over their… lack of sleep?
We wrap up whatever shows from Winter 2023 survived to the end, but nothing else matters because BIRDIE WING IS BACK and that’s all I want to talk about.
Liza Luna and her crew of alien researchers arrive at Earth, ready to destroy it when they see its underdeveloped civiliation. However, after stumbling upon a cat cafe, Liza decides to delay the apocalypse to investigate Earth’s cute creatures.
Akane tried playing an MMO with her boyfriend as a way to spend time together, but instead she gets dumped when he meets another girl in-game. She keeps playing to blow off some steam and reveals all of this to a guild mate, setting up a chance encounter that will change their lives.
In addition to our usual anime coverage, we talk about several anime adjacent games we’ve been into lately. Please play Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, now available on Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
