Vrai, Dee, and Peter look back on the Fall 2017 season. With thoughtful blobs, lovable rocks, and flaming murder-sheep, it’s fun for the whole family!
We’ll be taking a look back at our favorite shows of the entire year in a couple days, but before that, we wanted to pop in and give some accolades to the fall shows that really (ah-hem) rocked
Vrai, Caitlin, and Peter check in with 18 anime of our Fall 2017 premiere digest. Listen to find out our biggest surprises, disappointments, and guilty pleasures of the season along with our top recommended sequels!
We’ve decided to try a new, informal “check-in” roundtable to talk about the currently airing shows and our thoughts three episodes into the season.
Another season of premieres watched and reviewed! Now that we’ve gone through every new show, it’s time to get ’em all in one room and see how they measure.
Man Getting Hit By Football: The Anime.
Well, I’m mad. Not for the reasons I was expecting, though (well, not just for those reasons).
By the laws of common decency, I’m guessing you know this show is not good, and that you’re actually here to watch me suffer. And you know what? I’m down for that. I’m here for you.
Club anime aren’t my thing, but Anime-Gataris is pretty good at being a club anime, with some potential to go in weird directions and only one thing that I absolutely hated.
How much you enjoy Blend-S will depend on your tolerance for moe comedy, full-stop.
Throwback series are supposed to maintain the best parts of an old series while updating the parts that have aged poorly, not transplant the genre as-is.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: this episode was about Nazis.
…Stay with me, okay?
I want you to know that the first draft of this review was written entirely in caps-lock. This anime, you see, was made for me.
Here it is, folks. I found it. A fun otome visual novel adaptation with smart pacing, a solid plot, strong aesthetics, and good boys. THE UNICORN.
The trick to the Obscure Sport genre is always in the passion with which the writing embraces its subject, and TWOCAR is on the right track in that regard.
C’mon. Just look at that header image. This show put sunglasses on a cat. It can’t be all bad.
I considered making this a one-sentence review: “Watch it and decide for yourself.” Which would, if you were wondering, be the exact opposite of the definition of “review.” It would be a non-review. But that’s my position right now. I am a non-reviewer of Recovery of an MMO Junkie.
The trouble with this premiere is that so very little happens in it. Not in the sense that “this is a mood piece and you’re meant to soak up the atmosphere” (although I think that might be what it’s aiming for), but in simple lack of coherence.
Curious newcomers might be excited to hear that Kino’s Journey – the Beautiful World – looks to be more remake than sequel.
