I'm pretty sure I have only scratched the proverbial surface when it comes to how far you can go in TS with Mega+ being an actual difficulty so I'll save it for another time

I give it "just one more loop man I promise one more loop" out of the final act sidequest experience

Digimon Story Time Stranger

It's been practically a decade since the last entry to Digimon Story, 7 if you want to count Hackers Memory and we've been graced with yet another one.

I absolutely loved those two entries to death, so how does Time Stranger fare by comparison?

Silent Witch - Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto

Pitching this show as Bocchi on magical school shenanigans is a bit underselling it when the primary appeal of this show is Monica failgirling her way to success alongside the power of math.

All in all, it's a game that tests your patience and how much Ritalin you take in less than an hour. Really scratches the soulslike itch I've had for the longest while. I'm not touching the boss rush though, I'm not a masochist.

I give it 70 divine baby mass graves out of

Hollow Knight

When I had my Dark Souls bug all those years ago and heard there was a metroidvania that captured what I liked from souls games to a certain extent I thought, "Sure, I'll give it a try" only to realize I'm shit at platformers, lagged like hell and dropped it.

Anne Shirley

This is entirely from the perspective of someone who wasn't forced to read the source material for a summer book report and had little to no idea of the original anime's impact during its time. I was more of the type to submit a report on Captain Underpants anyway.

New Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt

What do I say about this show that hasn't already been said? It's crass, impressive, vulgar, inspiring and filled with uniquely individual visions. It picks up the mantle it left long ago and grew even more ridiculous as time went on.

Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Nai jan, Muri Muri!

I want Amaori Renako tied to a table and thrown knives at. I want her in a bronze bull. I need to see her dragged across the gates of Troy on chariot. She needs to be put in a sarcophagus, diced and scattered throughout Egypt

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2

S1 is like a constant barrage of ice buckets thrown at you, S2 is where you've gotten really used to it. my liver did not suffer as much as last time but I enjoyed it anyway

I give it 30 lite beers out of how many scumbag chs S3 will have

Kageki Shoujo!!

For something I initially picked on a whim, I totally wasn't expecting what would've a genuine top shelf seasonal had I caught it when it was airing. It's a show that doesn't hold itself back on account of the audience but goes full force on what it wants to show
September 22, 2025 at 1:32 PM
It's a 4koma adaptation with a ridiculously simple premise and is equally entertaining to boot with in a sort of illogical manner. I'm rooting for you Suzukaze.

I give it 45 counts of truant delinquency out of

Bad Girl

I picked this one up cuz it fit a lot of criteria for the sort of stuff I watch in my more casual lane and boy did it not disappoint. It's a show that extols the incredible virtue and moral lesson of,

"If everyone's stupid, then everyone's a genius."
September 21, 2025 at 1:33 PM
It's not a perfect show, but it is definitely one I'm not gonna forget for a good while mostly for how much of a circus it can get towards the 2nd half

I give it 50 temporal singularities out of

Onmyo-Kaiten Re:Birth Verse

When esteemed studio david pro says they're making their first original anime, you tend to get a few ideas on how it could go, maybe one or two expectations.

Onmyo did absolutely none of that and fried my brain in the process.

Necronomico And The Cosmic Horror Show

Wild that I started watching this show right after I finished Mayonaka Punch and boy were these entirely different shows. For one, it's primarily a death game set to the aesthetic of Lovecraft and even then it's pretty by the books

Kyokou Suiri - In/Spectre (S1-S2)

There was a noticeable gap between my viewings of both seasons and I only have myself to blame for that but with that aside. This was definitely one of the more engaging shows I've had in a good while.

Kamen Rider Gavv

After Reiwa Rider's ups and downs, I was admittedly one of the few to believe that the next series to reach the heights of Heisei would either be quite distant or just never. Little did I know it was right around the corner and in the shape of a jellybean.

The Naked Gun (2025)

Weird Al was in it. That's all I wanted.

I give it 10 rubber chickens out of every silly wordplay based joke in the movie
August 13, 2025 at 7:35 AM
Overall, I get the hype for this movie, I really do. I haven't seen an animated film that's driven me to a form of pathos since, idk, the RevStar movie? Anyway, it's definitely one you shouldn't miss even as someone new to the series.

I give it 999 prisms out of

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning Of A New Era

After Road to the Top, I thought I was prepared to see what Cygames with a theatrical budget looked like. Maybe a bit of the tv series and the intensity of the ONA into a single piece but no, it was much more than that.
July 19, 2025 at 7:42 AM
Overall, it's still a fascinating story to tell from Kitasan's perspective and I'm glad it at least managed to deliver on its premise.

i give it 70 spider drinks out of

Uma Musume Pretty Derby Season 3

While not reaching the high highs of the last season, it still manages to maintain the series overall momentum while delivering yet another fascinating and compelling story through the lens of horse girls.
July 19, 2025 at 4:27 AM
Overall, it's a short yet equally fun series that has a lot to tell and whole lot more to show in the few minutes it has. An otherwise small story of expectations, aspirations and liberation.

I give it 79 dirt tracks out of
July 18, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Road to the Top

Bit of a change in pace compared to the last two seasons, no doubt connected to the fact this was primarily an ONA (I watched the movie edit) but it does continue Uma Musume's bespectacled streak.
July 18, 2025 at 8:28 AM
There are many shows that tackle the quoted, "indomitable human spirit" but who would've guessed that one involving horses would be just as good or even better at portraying it

It's a show about dreams fulfilled, dreams robbed and dreams reborn.

I give it 80 ✌️WEY WEY✌️ out of
