I wasn't a huge fan of what Ouri brought to the table, but I think Keito could be a fun addition to the cast.

First up on the review docket today has @mdthomas.bsky.social checking in with some of his favorite idols

Lotta consternation over something that wasn't really a kiss...

I'm already behind on this series, but @mdthomas.bsky.social is keeping us current!

Tamon shows a bit of a darker side this week.

Our second anime review of the day has @mdthomas.bsky.social spending time with the idol boys once again.

This series continues to be a very pleasant way to spend a Monday evening.

first of a couple of new reviews has @mdthomas.bsky.social airing his dirty laundry again.

This series continues to charm, and I'm learning how to do my laundry properly. Double bonus!

Kicking off the day, we've got @mdthomas.bsky.social taking a look at the latest episode of this charming anime adaptation.

I keep referring to the MCs from Tamon's B-Side as a lovable bunch of idiots, but they have nothing on Suzuki and Tani from You and I Are Polar Opposites, though at least they realize they like each other and have done something about it. But man, I am adoring all the romantic idiocy this season.

"happily not digging out from 18" of snow." FIFY

Summer time can lead to tender memories. If you are aware enough to actually recognize it, of course...

That's me: I'm the Florida man on trial for putting Ameku M.D. higher on my list than Fragrant Flower. ZERO REMORSE.

Poor girl just needs a day off, even if she doesn't realize it. Can't she take a day off?

And we've got @mdthomas.bsky.social back from the reviewing salt mines with a look at another new anime episode!

And a new (confusing) light novel review from @mdthomas.bsky.social where it's a spinoff of the main that is way too close in name from @sevenseasentertainment.com

Following my 5000-word review of the first season, I am back to review the second season of #FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd as it releases weekly. This first episode sets aside any concerns that the directorial changes would mean the end of the Frieren we know.

1. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 2. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 3. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they…

Took a bit of a turn I wasn't completely expecting, but I'm happy to ride with it.

This morning has @mdthomas.bsky.social hanging out with some of his newest anime friends and loving it.

Japan gets new Pixiv-like social media platform for artists that strictly bans AI-generated images. Creators can authenticate work as hand-drawn Tegaki has attracted over 5,000 users on its first day, and it comes with an English version automaton-media.com/en/news/japa...

Trans people: "Fix your hearts or die!" Scott Adams: ok *dies*

Here's my coverage of @animelosangeles.bsky.social 2026, focusing on the weekend panels of Hiroshi Nagahama and @t-kotobuki.bsky.social, including Nagahama's explanation of the ill-fated production of the Uzumaki anime from his perspective. www.fandompost.com/2026/01/13/a...

Agreed! This has been phenomenal so far. Wish we saw more like this.

Such a gorgeous show. Definitely learning to count on Kinme!

And we've got one more new anime review today, this one from @mdthomas.bsky.social, with what continues to be an adorable show that scratches a particular itch.

Who's the cutest little demon slayer? Is it Kaya-chan? I think it's Kaya-chan!

Didn't get off on the right foot for me but corrected quickly. I was fully on board by the end of the episode.

The first of several new reviews up today, @mdthomas.bsky.social digs into another of his eagerly anticipated shows.

"Don't eat gay cereal for girls. Here, put these huge balls in your mouth." is one hell of a pitch.

These two idiots are so much fun.

this show has its hooks into @mdthomas.bsky.social, so he's back with a look at episode 2!

Revisiting an old article. The last one on the list has certainly ruffled some feathers...

Koi Kaze being on this list at all is gonna rightfully irk anyone familiar with it. However, of any anime to broach its topic, it's maybe the only one that should've been made as it shows that everyone involved is broken & making awful decisions. It's the anti-Oreimo before that'd been written. /1

I’ve been thinking that there seems to be a lack of interest in license rescues from the aughts. Discotek keeps licensing 80s and 90s stuff, but I feel there are a bunch of 00s near-hits — stuff like RaXephon, Gankutsuou, Witch Hunter Robin, Kaleido Star, etc. — that’s just lost.

Wasn't super feeling this, but it completely flipped in the last 30 seconds. Could be great. Hope it keeps that energy up!

Lo and behold, @mdthomas.bsky.social has gifted us with another first-episode review from the winter anime season!

This surprised me with how funny it is. Might be my sleeper of the season.

And @mdthomas.bsky.social is spoiling me this week by taking a look at another first episode, one that I think he might keep up with. This anime has gotten a lot of buzz.

This was going swimmingly until I realized it was a harem plot. Still a lot of potential for hilarity, though.

And @mdthomas.bsky.social hit up another new series launch to check out the first episode. I just love the goofiness of the title.

This hits in all of the comfort feels. Curious to see what happens if they pursue a plot thread that might not...

The first of a few new reviews up today, @mdthomas.bsky.social checks out this series he's been eagerly anticipating. I watched it myself last night and it fits in that cozy comfort feeling I crave each season.

Loved the premise, but the follow through didn't really click with me.

I think this is the last of our looks at the fall season with a full series review as @mdthomas.bsky.social tackles one more big project.

And @mdthomas.bsky.social wraps up another fall 2025 season with the finale. Time to start looking forward to what's next!

Got everything I wanted from this. Super fun. Super fluffy. Just needs more Hazama.

Ended up enjoying this quite a bit more than I thought I would at the start. Might need to catch up with the manga now.
