In the near future, Humans live alongside extremely lifelike androids known as Humanoids. However, this has led to a new breed of crime involving artificially duplicating Humanoids and selling them on the black market. For this reason, memory backups are illegal and strictly forbidden under all circumstances.
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.
Ever since her mother’s death, Miyo Saimori has lived like a servant in her own home, disregarded by her father and treated cruelly by her stepmother and stepsister. Years of neglect and drudgery have turned Miyo into a passive, downtrodden young woman with little hope for the future, although she remains kindhearted and grateful for the smallest pieces of happiness in life. When she is maliciously arranged to marry a military commander named Kiyoka Kudou, so famed for his coldness that every one of his previous fiancées have fled, Miyo fears the worst – but is there more to her new husband-to-be than meets the eye?
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.
Komura has a crush on his classmate Mie – who normally wears glasses – and he must comically contend with the closeness of her physical presence and general inability to function without eyesight as she somehow repeatedly forgets to don her spectacles before arriving at school.
Shinozaki is constantly doted on by his senior coworker, a petite woman with comically oversized breasts.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Yukito Yanagi has spent most of his young life in a foster home, but one day he’s summoned back to the chain of islands where he spent his early childhood, where it’s revealed to him that he has special powers to battle a breed of monsters known as ‘Mitama’.
Self-proclaimed stalker-type Wataru Sajō is being creepy over his classmate, then a brush with a potential injury causes him to realise he’s wasting his time and to stop.
We’ll be back soon though!
Tired of idol “mixed media projects”? Sick of generic fantasy? ¿Por qué no los dos?
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will haunt me for years.
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.
Look, I didn’t want to have to write this. But what the fuck happened to Birdie Wing, man?
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.
In an alternate universe Japan, the Marginal Service arm of the Bureau of Immigration handles supernatural crime from “Borderlanders”: dangerous nonhumans who hide in our midst. They do this with construction-themed equipment and explosives.
