Ahh, the freedom. That feeling of liberty after going through what must have been an eternity. I only have Maid Dragon and Tales of Zestiria left to cover -- let's make this quick. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Episode 13 (END) Hmm. What can I say? That wasn't the kind of ending I was …
Kuzu no Honkai – Episodes 10 – 12 (END)
Thank you. For a moment there, I think I heard a slight crack in Akane-sensei's voice. I've gotten used to hearing her in her usual vile and venomous tongue, that even the slightest change in her pitch in the right time is enough to floor me to tears. It's these moments wherein I feel like …
Winter 2017 – Week 12
Spring anime are already starting to make their debut, yet I'm still stuck in blogging Winter 2017... or what remains of it. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Episode 12 I was about to tear up at the middle of this episode. Â It's funny that something so trivial and taken for granted such as appreciating …
Winter 2017 – Week 11
Winter 2017 is still going strong despite 3-gatsu and Rakugo now behind us. That should be held as a compliment in my opinion, specially with hindsight that the previous seasons felt over right when one or two shows drew its curtains. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Episode 11 As of now, the best thing …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 22 (END)
Not the best ending I was looking for, but who cares? 3-gatsu was magnificent. Episode 22 was supposed to be an optimistic send-off, but for some odd reason that I'm still trying to explain, I was feeling restless instead. It isn't because of the episode itself, but rather, in the same way Rei asked why we …
Winter 2017 – Week 10
The best thing about being able to blog the shows I'm keeping tabs on is that I'm able to interact with them further. Before, I used to watch an episode and forget about it afterwards. For that reason among others, explaining why I like or dislike something is far easier this time around than with how …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 21
Episode 21 made me fall in love with 3-gatsu and with Japanese culture.... again. Ahh, Japanese culture and tradition. It's a topic I haven't discussed that much before given that we're mostly not well-versed with the subject matter, but this episode certainly is jam-packed to the brim of reasons why I want to visit Japan. …
Kuzu no Honkai – Episodes 8 & 9
Looking back at these last 2 episodes makes me feel scared of what's in store next for Hanabi. Episode 9 may look like a charming conclusion to Hanabi and Ecchan's relationship, but experience tells me otherwise. The awful taste of being friendzoned is something that you can't easily wash off with some I'll forget bullshit. Having said …
Winter 2017 – Week 9
Ahh, what a great season it has been, eh? Winter 2017 was more fun than what I initially expected out of it, and Spring 2017 doesn't look shabby either. Anime is just getting better and better. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Episode 9 CHU CHU YEAH! BEE'S KNEE! CHU CHU YEAH! CHU CHU! I …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episodes 19 & 20
Still remember how Shimada-san used to be a "side-character" Rei presumed as a hurdle? He's owning the show now. That's just one way you can translate the aphorism everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, and with consistent finesse, 3-gatsu was able to convey how arduous the path Shimada-san took. This has been …
