Episode 5 gave us a beach episode. You won't believe how much dread I felt when I realised this already incredibly borderline show that seems to relish in oozing sleaze, was about to take us to the location where even tame series decide to max out the fan service and innuendo.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Episode 7 Review Was anyone really surprised to see that Rimuru survives everything that goes down this week? If the answer is yes I'd question whether or not they'd watched the episodes up until this point because clearly they haven't been paying attention.
Sword Art Online Alicization - Episode 6 There was a lot of talking this episode. Like massive amounts of talking. And a lot of it is that weird kind of technobabbly talk that happens when a concept really doesn’t make a lot of sense but the writers are earnestly trying to convince the audience that … Continue reading In The Absence of Action, We Get An Attack of the Talking Heads
This volume felt like a breath of fresh air after volume 7 and there was plenty to enjoy about it. There's an army marching on the city of Orario but let the bigger familias deal with that crisis. Inside Orario there are better stories to be told. Previous reviews for Is It Wrong To Try … Continue reading Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls in A Dungeon? Volume 8 Light Novel Review
Unfortunately, what that means for me is that while I appreciate what That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is doing and that it is doing it relatively well, I'm never going to be more than casually enjoying this. And that's mostly because every time I start getting seriously into the story because of some development that might potentially be really interesting or dramatic, the story cuts it off at the knees and kind of does a 'ta-da' kind of moment ...

So imagine my surprise by just how good episode 5 is where Kirito is only present in flash … Continue reading Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 5: Asuna’s Turn
This week we had a really cute but fairly typical anime story. One of the girls Itsuki is supposed to perform the ritual with has some weird anime disease that means she will die young and so she's got an interesting personality. He of course befriends her and makes her happy in the course of … Continue reading Conception Episode 4: A Touching Story Told Between Lewd Jokes
Question: When compared to the anime in the past, these days it is really hard to find a good anime that can stand neck to neck with all the classic hits. Is it because the studios now-a-days are concentrating in releasing more no. of anime each season rather than 1 or 2 good, quality anime? From anon
Right from episode 1 this anime came across as rough. There was some pretty bad CG and more than a few off model character moments. After that though things kind of settled, until this episode (that isn't saying there aren't some poorer moments in the episodes in between but they weren't noteworthy). Episode 5 on … Continue reading Xuan Yuan Sword Luminary Episode 5: Attack of the Poor Animation
I will give this episode credit though because of all the episodes so far, this is the one that has given me the most to think about and the most enjoyment. I really liked seeing the exchange between the King and the dwarf and I really liked the King afterwards putting the other idiot in his place.
