One of the few anime series I watched this season was Crane Game Girls Galaxy (Bishōjo Yūgi Unit Crane Geeru Galaxy). This is the second season of a series about…well, it’s kind of nonsense. Season 1 saw the Crane Game Girls save the world from the evil Dark Gorilla using the power of arcade crane… Read More Newman’s Nook: Enemy to Friend
JoJo no Kimyou Na Bouken: Diamond wa Kudakenai JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures: Diamond is Unbreakable Kaze – 8/10 And so part 4 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures comes to an end.

Gi(a)rlish Number Girlish Number Japesland – 7/10 I didn’t seem to fall in love with Shirobako quite as deeply as the majority of the Internet, but what I did truly appreciate about it was its realistic take on the anime industry (realistic is relative, of course).

It is part of the Lupin the Third franchise that is overall quite well-known, although moreso in Japan. The series revolves around Fujiko Mine, Lupin’s fellow thief and love interest, and how she and the other classic Lupin… Read More The Secret Santa of Anime: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine
