With You, Our Love Will Make It Through has a very specific target demographic, and I don't fall into it. This anime is a gateway series designed specifically to push women down the anthro smut rabbithole. #Kimikoe READ: doublesama.com/with-you-our...

There are a few twists revolving around Kaho Koyanagi in There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless…: Next Shine. However, the biggest twist of all is that Kaho is basically just like Renako. She's also an introvert. #Watanare READ: doublesama.com/theres-no-fr...

Will Fushi end up all alone at the end of the series? I don't think so, and I explain a few possible ways this may be the case without him forcing his friends to be immortal in my review of To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 15. #ToYourEternity #FumetsuNoAnataE READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

I thought the Watanare Specials were going to focus on Ajisai, as it didn't feel like her arc concluded in the TV anime. However, that's not really the case. Kaho Koyanagi is the main girl Renako interacts with. #Watanare READ: doublesama.com/theres-no-fr...

Fushi's children hatch in To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 15. And now that he's a mother, he realizes that he can't force his children, or his friends, to stay by his side forever. They have their own lives to live. #ToYourEternity #FumetsuNoAnataE READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

Hell's Paradise is trying to make me feel literally anything about the characters in Season 2 Episode 3. However, it's not working. Most of the cast is so forgettable that I don't know their names. Why would I care about them? #HellsParadise #Jigokuraku READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

In To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 15, Fushi learns what his friends went through after he went into hibernation to (unsuccessfully) eradicate the Nokkers from the world. Will this be a turning point for him? #ToYourEternity #FumetsuNoAnataE READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

Hell's Paradise Season 2 Episode 3 finally has a concept of a plan regarding the Tao power system. The details still haven't been worked out yet, but at least we were given the names of the five different types of Tao. #HellsParadise #Jigokuraku READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

Surprisingly, Yakumo wasn't flustered when Kyouka's Mato ability compelled her to reward Yuuki for his service in Chained Soldier Season 2 Episode 3. I assumed she would have underestimated the reward she'd have to provide. #ChainedSoldier #MatoSeiheiNoSlave READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

It's time for a training arc in Hell's Paradise Season 2 Episode 3. Gabimaru and his allies need to get stronger if they want to stand a chance against the full power of the Tensen. And Touma looks to be getting the biggest upgrade. #HellsParadise #Jigokuraku READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

While I'm sure every unit chief dreams of becoming the Demon Defense Force's supreme commander, in Chained Soldier Season 2 Episode 3, Yakumo Ezo reveals that her true dream is to have her very own harem. #ChainedSoldier #MatoSeiheiNoSlave #Mabotai READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

Something I like about Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is that it doesn't explain every little thing about the world. Season 2 Episode 2 is a great example, as it introduces the demon sword, but then tells us nothing about it. #Frieren #FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd READ: doublesama.com/frieren-beyo...

Chained Soldier Season 2 Episode 3 introduces the members of the Demon Defense Force's 5th unit and their Mato abilities. This unit appears to only have three members, including its chief, Yakumo Ezo. #ChainedSoldier #MatoSeiheiNoSlave #Anime READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 2 introduces the Hero of the South, humanity's apparent strongest hero. He paved the way for Himmel's party to defeat the demon king by taking on the Seven Sages. #Frieren #SousouNoFrieren #Anime READ: doublesama.com/frieren-beyo...

Maki Zenin's crash-out in Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1 Episode 4 is one of the most justified crash-outs in anime. And in my review of the episode, I explain why it's way more justified than what Itachi Uchiha did. #JujutsuKaisen #JJK #Anime READ: doublesama.com/jujutsu-kais...

Frieren obtains two new spells in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 2. In my review of the episode, I go over the spells and discuss why we'll likely see them come up again, despite their apparent uselessness. #Frieren #SousouNoFrieren #Anime READ: doublesama.com/frieren-beyo...

In my review of Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1 Episode 4, I explain how twins, cursed energy, and heavenly restrictions interact. The episode did a pretty good job of explaining it, but it could have been better. #JujutsuKaisen #JJK #Anime READ: doublesama.com/jujutsu-kais...

Spoilers for This Monster Wants to Eat Me: The monster does not, in fact, want to eat Hinako. The entire premise of the series, as laid out in the title, is a lie. And that's not even the only lie this series tells its viewers. #WataTabe #Anime READ: doublesama.com/this-monster...

Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1 Episode 4 may end up being the best episode of the season. I think this one will be hard to top in terms of storytelling, character development, art, animation, and music. #JujutsuKaisen #JJK #Anime READ: doublesama.com/jujutsu-kais...

This Monster Wants to Eat Me follows the pretty common trope in supernatural anime that once you encounter one yokai or other supernatural entity, you're more likely to encounter more. Hinako is surrounded by them. #WataTabe #Anime READ: doublesama.com/this-monster...

The shocking twist in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 30 is that Koji Kashin plans to have Inojin kill Kobu with his Mind Transfer jutsu. Why do you think Koji is so worried about Kobu living? Is Kobu secretly a shinobi himself? #Boruto #BorutoTwoBlueVortex READ: doublesama.com/boruto-two-b...

This Monster Wants to Eat Me is a supernatural girls' love drama anime that doesn't really feel like any other girls' love series I've seen. Throughout the entire first season, there's no romance. And I don't know if there ever will be. #WataTabe #Anime READ: doublesama.com/this-monster...

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 30, we see Boruto complimenting a Konoha police officer on his skills and saying it would be a waste for him to die fighting the divine trees. Do you think we'll ever see this guy again? #Boruto #BorutoTwoBlueVortex #Manga READ: doublesama.com/boruto-two-b...

Did Fushi make a mistake by bringing his friends into the future, even if it's more peaceful than the ages when they originally lived? To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 14 explores how Fushi's allies feel out of place in the modern world. #ToYourEternity #Anime READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

With seemingly nobody to train her in using her newfound powers, Himawari becomes a major threat to the safety of the Hidden Leaf Village in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 30. She can't just use tailed beast bombs in town. #Boruto #BorutoTwoBlueVortex #Manga READ: doublesama.com/boruto-two-b...

In a previous episode, we saw Fushi become a mother (as a sea turtle), and now, in To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 14, he's starting to face what his life could be like as an empty-nester once his friends move on. #ToYourEternity #FumetsuNoAnataE #Anime READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

In Hell's Paradise Season 2 Episode 2, Gabimaru states that it doesn't matter whether his wife is real or just a false memory. His mission remains the same. And to be honest, I agree with him. Whether she's real or not doesn't matter. #Jigokuraku #Anime READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

Messar believes all of Fushi's allies are better off alive in the present than dead in the past. But is that actually true? In my review of To Your Eternity Season 3 Episode 14, I make an argument for why Messar may be wrong. #ToYourEternity #FumetsuNoAnataE READ: doublesama.com/to-your-eter...

Gabimaru's and Sagiri's parties reunite on the island in Hell's Paradise Season 2 Episode 2. It would have been nice if this season reminded us why they were separated to begin with. But I guess that information isn't important. #Jigokuraku #Anime READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

Ren's newfound obsession with Yuuki and her ability to travel long distances quickly to see him make me a bit concerned that she'll just turn into a Tenka 2.0. At least she doesn't view Yuuki in the exact same way Tenka does. #ChainedSoldier #Mabotai #Anime READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

The fight we get between Gabimaru and Choubei in Hell's Paradise Season 2 Episode 2 has no emotional impact. There's no reason for these characters to be fighting, and so there's no reason to be invested in it. #Jigokuraku #Anime READ: doublesama.com/hells-paradi...

With a bunch of new characters introduced into the series, it's a good time to consider what kinds of rewards Yuuki is going to receive from them. In my review of Chained Soldier Season 2 Episode 2, I look at Ren and Yakumo, specifically. #ChainedSoldier #Anime READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

Wirbel, Ehre, and Scharf show up in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 1. That didn't take long for us to run into characters we met during the First-Class Mage Exam Arc. I hope we meet Denken again soon. #Frieren #SousouNoFrieren #Anime READ: doublesama.com/frieren-beyo...

Yuuki gets some late-night visitors in Chained Soldier Season 2 Episode 2, including Shushu, Tenka, and Shikoku. It's a good thing Shushu and Tenka can't control themselves, or Yuuki would have been in danger. #ChainedSoldier #Mabotai #Anime READ: doublesama.com/chained-sold...

The main part of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 1 is about how party members have to trust each other completely. And in classic Frieren fashion, it shows us this both in the past and the present. #Frieren #SousouNoFrieren #Anime READ: doublesama.com/frieren-beyo...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't really understand this whole Culling Game business. It feels like it came out of nowhere and was haphazardly jammed into the middle of the series. #JujutsuKaisen #JJK #Anime READ: doublesama.com/jujutsu-kais...
