I noticed that I've been talking a lot about Amanchu! figuratively in my previous posts. Then again, I believe that's the closest way I can truly describe the beauty within this show. While it's obvious that Amanchu!'s visuals are aesthetically elegant, the beauty it managed to capture in this episode is the connection between Pikari and Teko. I mentioned during my …
Mob Psycho 100 – Episode 2
That was a fun and entertaining episode! Mob Psycho 100 welcomes us to its feverish world in episode 1, whilst episode 2 shifts its view to Mob... undergoing puberty. Straightforward and subtle, MP100 isn't just an eye-candy. Despite his generic and boring looks, Mob is actually a pretty diverse and interesting character himself. He reminds …
Amanchu! – Episode 2
I was giggling during the first part of the episode, then I found myself melting deeper into my mattress the next moment. As if singing a lullaby, Amanchu! hums an imagery nothing short of poetic. This episode is a perfect combination of high and low -- just like a wave crashing on to a shore, and …
planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume – Episode 2
"What do you think about the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.” 13-minutes. The second episode felt longer than that, and the revelation that Yumemi has only 60 hours left on her battery makes me want to wish …

Mob Psycho 100 – Episode 1
Psychedelic funky. That's what I'd call Mob Psycho 100's debut episode. I bet most of you were waiting for this, and I'm glad to inform you that episode 1 definitely delivered. Conceived by the same creator of One Punch Man, ONE, Mob Psycho 100 is every bit the quirky and crazy stuff you can imagine. …
Amanchu! – Episode 1
Amanchu! is the only show I was looking forward to this season. Coming from the same author of the beloved Aria, Kozue Amano, Amanchu! retains the quality of its predecessor's gentle touch and added a slightly upbeat twist to it (probably why there's an exclamation mark in the title). Amanchu! certainly looks great on paper. …
planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume – Episode 1
All right. I guess not doing a season preview works better for me as surprises seems to have a greater effect without the hype pre-season window shopping generates. A couple of days ago we had ReWrite, and today we have planetarian. Both of which are yet another addition to the ever growing list of Key …

ReLife – Afterthoughts
I couldn't ask for a better way to start Summer 2016. With no list whatsoever of what to cover this season, I'm left to decide which show to pick up only after watching the first episode. And it's not that I'm being choosy here, it's just that I really didn't have the time and motivation …
