Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Medieval Otaku – 7/10 Here is another show I would describe as fun. It featured a ton of sarcastic humor, which necessitated me being in a particular mood to watch KonoSuba!. (Living in the South for so long has much lowered my appreciation for… Read More Winter Anime 2016 Review (Part 3/3)
Here’s part 2 of our winter anime 2016 review! Schwarzesmarken Schwarzesmarken Kaze – 5/10 Schwarzesmarken (fun fact: a purposely misspelled German word) is a side story to Muv Luv Alternative (MLA), a widely praised visual novel.

Is the Order a Rabbit?? Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? Japesland – 7/10 I reviewed Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (season one that is; one question mark!) back when it aired originally, and I noted how much I shamelessly enjoyed its moe comedy. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see a second season in… Read More Fall Anime 2015 Review (Part 2/2)
