Sato is getting more and more demanding. Be curious to see how the notoriously anxious Futami handles that.

This one made me think a lot.

Episode 162 It's the most wonderful anime of the year, or at least the most festive. Sometimes the spirit of Christmas is represented no better than a homeless makeshift family, sometimes it's humanboarding and a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon. Happy Merry Christmas.

Seems like making Futami be the emotional rock for once is a poor decision.

Sato is letting the wall slip a little bit. Could be a fun character in the back half of the show.

Really great adaptations of the origins of the JRPG genre. Still love the originals, but they really haven't aged well. These bring them into modern gaming very well.

Reminder that my new novella is up for pre order. It’s coming Dec. 2. www.amazon.com/Disturbance-...

Reality sometimes hits like a cold breeze. Curious to see how Nashida plays into it all going forward.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Only anime can make crippling anxiety adorable.

Playing catch-up. Got a lot to catch up! Hazama is a great character.

Great spooky season reading!

#NoKings Miami!

Adorable start. I think the assistant is going to be the star of the season.

Looks like this one is destined to be the prime fluffy comfort food of the season.

Oh noes! You make me watch the animes! Whatever will I do!?

Playing with memoir in the form of a poem. #poetry

First episode didn't really stand out, but there's potential here.

And the first of the season from @mdthomas.bsky.social, who will be taking on this series for us in small batch reviews. Are you watching this series?

So happy to finally see this game brought back. Enhanced mode has a lot of good QoL additions.

Things definitely picked up in the latter stages of the series, but I still found it overall not as good as the earlier Rascal stuff.

I think Akira is my spirit animal.

It's all starting to come together now (finally).

Super looking forward to seeing how they handle the Coffin cosplay... except for the knowledge that it's over right after. 😢

Finally giving Sakuta a reason to be part of this story.

Hey, I finally liked one of these. Can't be because Haruhi is barely in it, can it?

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Episode #01 – 02 #Anime Review

Think Mai is getting tired of all the attention Sakuta gets from other cute girls and is (politely) starting to tell them all to f-off. Understandable.

Poor Marin needs a cuddle.

It continues to surprise me how frustrated I am by the LN series considering how much I like the anime/manga.

oh hey @mdthomas.bsky.social mark's on the ball with the first of two reviews today as his anime passions are inflamed once more.

Juju's reactions whenever Shinju is involved are hilarious.

Finally introduced to Akira. And bonus introduction of Aoi (who is only ever mentioned once in the manga).

Series just keeps chugging along, but hey, more Mai is always a good thing.

Didn't quite stick the landing for this arc.

Pretty sure the "camera date" is going to go down in legend.

Sakuta is finally getting involved in his own story again.

Gojo finally comes into his own and learns to acknowledge what it is that *he* wants to do.

Puppet Marin (complete with bowl of rice and chopsticks) might be my favorite thing I have seen in a long time.

At some point, Sakuta is going to stop neglecting Mai in favor of other cute girls, right? Right?

Some intriguing developments this week.

Been looking forward to this story arc.

My first ever light novel gave me a very different look at a pretty significant series and one I tend to love.

Finish helping another person get their life in order, and this time, Sakura doesn't even have to do much.

Continue to give Gojo the pieces of the puzzle he needs to finally grow out of his shell.

#MyDressUpDarling Episode #14 #Anime Review

It's not like I see hype images like this like this one of the VAs and get upset or anything. Certainly not.

This is me being not bitter that Fragrant Flowers is delayed until September in North America. Could have been a legendary romcom/romdram season, but it's fine. I'm not upset. Just gonna go sit in the corner and cry a bit.

More puberty syndrome. It's almost like being a teenager is hard or something.
