anime

With this second season, I am beginning to think that Yuri Kitayama’s original light novel series is simply a poor fit for animated adaptation. ― With this second season, I am beginning to think that Yuri Kitayama's original light novel series is simply a poor fit for an animated adaptation. That's not necessarily because the story is a bit hackneyed; it is, but that's hardly the problem here. The gr...

Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sister Anime Series Review

anime

There's no pretending this harem anime is particularly good, but it's rewarding to see it recover from a disastrous start and rise up to something decent. ― There are anime that blend heart-warming wholesomeness with something more lewd. One case is Your Name, a chastely yearning love story with jokes about boob-groping, and arguably non-consensual boob-groping at that. Then there are shows like Dan ...
