Is it perfect? No. But Wandance is pushing itself forward with some nice animation and some well-meaning characters. And watching some genuinely try to improve themselves through hard work is something we all can relate to at the end of the day. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Our post is going up early this week. Be sure to check out our review of the 2025 summer anime season. What was your favorite of the season? shorturl.at/Al13Y #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Really missed the Anya school antics last season. Glad we got a bit more before the new arc in this episode. Really looking forward to where the arc is going from here. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Really interested in the end goal here for This Monster Wants to Eat Me. Is it to make Hinato more delicious or truly just to have her recognize the beauty in the world around her? We're going to watch it either way but it'll be something to keep an eye on. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

As September comes to a close, it's time to share our upcoming October schedule. This will be our last full schedule for the year, so we hope you're excited. Be sure to check these out when they start going live. #anime #blog #animeblog #monthlyschedule

Beautiful wrap-up to this romance anime. No confirmed season 2 yet but it came full circle with this last episode and it could just be left there. Either way, easily one of the top series this season. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our latest post is up! This week is a continuation from last month, discussing some seinen series with female leads. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on it and any series that we missed. Enjoy! shorturl.at/quMcq #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Not sure what to expect from anyone next episode. Hikaru is spiraling, Yoshiki is determined to find a solution even though the legends aren't adding up, and Tanaka has been eerily quiet. But whatever happens, it's going to be great. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Trying to ask him out and then saying there "aren't any other good matches" besides the pretty, popular girls is a bizarre interaction. But it's about to be winter break, so who will end up making a move next? #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our latest post is up. If you liked our first review of Higurashi When They Cry, then be sure to check out our review of the second season - Kai. Let us know what you think! shorturl.at/u22AJ #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

The last episode felt both like a big recap and a great segue for another season in the future. In the meantime, might have to check out the other To Be Hero properties. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

And now he's pushing himself to take on a challenge no one else can in order to help everyone else. Kafka's always been looking out for others, even before the Defense Force. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Season 2 of Dandadan might be coming to an end, but Evil Eye is still going strong with murderous intent. Fingers crossed for no cliffhangers at the end of this season. We'll see how it shakes out. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Are you interested in anime series about more than just isekai or romance plotlines? Looking for characters involved in the workforce? Our post this week is for you! It's our third installment of workplace series. Be sure to check it out! shorturl.at/OdflY #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Azusa tries so hard to help nudge her friends in one direction. It doesn't really work, but she gets points for trying. Now, if only Iori could try a bit less, everything might work itself out. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

The pieces are starting to come together for Hikaru and Yoshiki. But there's still so much to uncover in a short span of time. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Everyone deserves a cheerleader when life gets hard. Whether it's a pet hanging out by your side or catching up with an old friend, be sure to lean on others when you need it. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

When actions aren't working, speak your mind. Great to see Ueno standing his ground on how he feels. It may still take some time, but the gears are moving. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

It's that time again. Our studio spotlights for the week were Satelight and Zexcs. Be sure to check out their brief history and the numerous series these two have worked on since they were founded. shorturl.at/J5AB4 #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

As we wrap up August, it's time to share our upcoming September schedule. It's a mixed bag this month, while we add on to several previous posts. Hope you're excited! #anime #blog #animeblog #monthlyschedule

Some more worldbuilding in today's episode. Givers can have all kinds of powers, not just for combat. And sweets are as addicting as drugs. Makes perfect sense if you've got a sweet tooth. 🍰 #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

It's always nice to get some extra background on supporting characters. Furuhashi may feel like a weaker recruit, but his contributions to the force (and his teammates) are still incredibly valid. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Okarun is really out here using his brain over brawn, and you have to respect him for it. Hopefully, he'll be able to keep up with it going forward, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

We're back again with another post. This week is something new - we're sharing some shonen series that feature female protagonists. Hope you enjoy! shorturl.at/C2LJC #anime #blog #animeblog #shonen

Episode 8 got some slight upgrades in terms of animation. And some slight changes to character dynamics. Will they manage to survive the next round with no more deaths? We'll have to wait and see! #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

The more we see of Nice, the more interesting the first episode of the series becomes. And who will be worthy of standing in the top 10 when everything shakes out? #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Monica to the rescue again! Love every time we get to see the magic at work. And it seems the conspiracy to harm the prince is still going strong, so she'll have to watch her back very carefully. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Finding the right present for the right person can be difficult. Especially when you truly want them to like and appreciate it. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

From a ridiculous science experiment to a test of courage, then a rom-com trope about tripping and falling into something embarrassing, into some heartwarming moments. This episode was doing a little bit of everything. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our latest review has gone live. We're taking a look at the 2024 series, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! We wanted to share our thoughts on this spin on romantic comedy series. Be sure to check it out! shorturl.at/SjESG #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Nice of Witch Watch to give us a little more focus on Keigo this episode. In a house full of always wild and wacky characters, he can get the short end of the stick sometimes. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Pretty sure that every pet owner knows this struggle. Some toys just aren't made to last... but it's nice that they're having fun. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Loving how Niko is getting portrayed so far. Since she's strong and tough, showing any softness underneath undermines her skills as an athlete. She has to stay on guard at all times. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our newest post is ready to read! Come check out some Japanese and anime vocabulary in our third installment of this series. Be sure to let us know any words or phrases we should cover in the future. #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost shorturl.at/bc2bl

Having others accept you, quirks and all, is how you know that they're true friends. A nice hint of maturity/character growth from the Grand Blue boys this episode. It probably won't last long, but we can enjoy this moment. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

"Something always happens on survey missions". Actually, it seems like too many things are happening on this one. But the aftermath is sure to be something insane, just like the rest of the series so far. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Props to Kaoruko for knowing and acknowledging this. Rintaro might take a bit longer, but we're only halfway through the season. Looking forward to this relationship developing even more. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our studio spotlights this week were Asahi Production and Tezuka Productions - two studios from the late 60s/early 70s that are still working on projects today. Learn more about them in our newest post: shorturl.at/e7MlV #anime #blog #animeblog #studiospotlight

Sakamoto is a man of few words, but he always knows what to say. Even when he's the one in danger, he's thinking about others and their own protection outside of him. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Another busy day spent with our favorite dog.... raccoon....tanuki....animal. Maybe he'll even inspire Fuji's new project. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

It's time for our next monthly schedule. We have some fun posts coming your way shortly. Let us know which ones you're looking forward to reading. Enjoy! #anime #blog #animeblog #monthlyschedule

That's...certainly one strategy. Leave it to the sports days and culture festivals to get emotions running high. At least some people (Tetsuo) can enjoy themselves in the midst of everything else. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our One Piece journey continues this week as we share a summary and review of the Arabasta Saga. If you want to see more posts like this in the future, be sure to let us know! shorturl.at/Cw1fx #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

No wrath like a woman scorned indeed...Chisa is pulling out the scary monster vibes this episode. If only the message would get through to Iori and friends. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Can't believe we have Dandadan season 2 already. Did not see any of this episode coming (in the best way) and looking forward to where it goes now! #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Our newest post is up! If you're interested in video games that got their own anime adaptations, be sure to check it out here: shorturl.at/mQUvX #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Sakamoto Days is stepping hard on the gas when it comes to showing off their characters/developments in the second part. We're only three episodes in. We'll have to see how it continues for the rest of the cour. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime
