Just finished Routine. The 1980s vibes are nice. The final level was a slog though. While I love environmental storytelling I feel like it would have been nice getting some motivation for why I was doing anything other than, "Let's see where this goes," or, "The quest log says I need this passcode."

Happy Blue Dog Tuesd-
Wait what do you mean there’s now a Blue Cat?!
Well now what am I supposed to call Tuesdays!?

ENA Fans might appreciate this blast from the past (1977):

Happy Halloween!

Happy Blue Dog Tuesday, You Degenerates!

Oh boy! You know what's going to be dropping on November 1st? That's right. It's the robot maid episode of "A Wild Last Boss Appeared!"

Eminence in shadow fans, what are your thoughts on him showing up in Isekai Quartet by the way?

Also I saw Chainsaw Man Reze Arc in theatres. I did a happy dance.

I'm declaring the next 10 Tuesdays to be Blue Dog Tuesdays

What with two major anime shows featuring big blue doggos!

I’m sorry??!! The guys who animated my childhood (Ulysses 31, Batman: The Animated Series, etc…) and Doctor Stone adapted a generic Isekai Light Novel??!! And even though it’s got all the usual tropes the animation kind of rules??!!

Weird season so far. Though there are also 3 shows on HiDive I want to scope out. Dusk Beyond the end of the world might have the prettiest animation so far. Will keep you all posted.

This Anime season has barely started but I think I already have my favorite show: "May I Ask for One Final Thing?"

The Lady of Beatings is here to put corrupt nobles in their place.

She's basically an unarmed mastery paladin with haste.

We need stories like this.

Good golly, that One Piece episode this week had a whole lot of Vincent Chansard in it.

So the trailer for "A wild last boss appeared" came up and I was like "This seems pretty generic" until the theme song drop at 37 seconds in paired with visuals I don't think I can properly do justice describing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_G0...

OKAY FINE, since you're going to make me do it, here's my Top 10 Summer Anime of 2025. Good lord we had a LOT of Anime this summer and narrowing it down to just 10 is rough:

#1 Let's Go Karaoke - as a choir boy I found this extremely relatable

This was indeed The Summer Hikaru Died.

And now that it's over it's time for me to list off my most surprised moments in Anime for Winter of 2025:

Been running a game at lunch for an hour two days a week we’re 530 sessions and this happened.

Now more than ever.

I love how Übel Blatt is just hiding out on Amazon every Saturday being like "We will shamelessly be the darkest edgiest revenge fantasy show ever." It feels like a Berserk fan-fic where Guts dies and gets reincarnated as an elf twink.

Winter Anime Season 2025 is here and it's got too many good fantasy shows so if you're a huge D&D nerd like me and are craving some excellent fantasy series or maybe just a solid comedy or a story with a lot of heart I have a ton of recommendations.
