Reviewing Anime
Welcome to my OWLS post for February (full schedule of OWLS posts here). In February, we will be exploring love and romance.

Overview: If you didn't watch the first season, this is a parody of magical girl shows (and a bit of social commentary) filled with magical boys who when they aren't fighting in magical girl costumes spend a lot of time sitting around in the bath discussing whatever random thing comes across their thoughts. Review Episode … Continue reading Cute High Earth Defence Club Love Episode 1 + 2
Review: While I get that the joke it that Sakamoto is good at everything, after episode 2, mostly I just spent this episode wondering if Sakamoto is an alien or a robot.
