Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!
(Anime)
add
A very fun series that explores traditional masculine and feminine qualities when it comes to relationships. What really sells this show is all the likable characters from our two main leads, but also most of the side characters. Everyone just has so much personality, and the show does a solid job of focusing on the characters and the high school setting is a lesser note which is nice in romance anime that sometimes puts an over emphasis on the setting. This shows really plays into that the main duo are childhood friends but now as early high school students they are starting to discover more

A really crazy scenario that adds so much comedy, but other than that this show misses the mark on the emotional value the characters can give you. While the premise is ridiculous that two high schoolers get married and move into a house together, it is more ridiculous that this basically turns into a harem. Funny thing is I find Saito a pretty likeable character. Yeah he has the always remember everything super power which is kinda boring really but kinda funny that he can’t remember something super important to him.
The other characters are more superficial. A big breasted blonde who is popular, an ... Mar 20, 2025

I’m throwing away all the objectivity of this review. I needed this anime. It’s just very solid. The characters are wonderful and the voice acting has so much personality. The only thing keeping this show from a 10 is that the plot could have been a little stronger between the DA, the Allen Institute, and the morality of a secret police force in society.
You heard that last one. This show is about cute girls who Minority Report terrorist attacks. Except I would say that is the least interesting part of the show even though it is mildly interesting especially when he does provide some ... Mar 19, 2025

Picture this, an anime about a couple at a Japanese high school. Of course, that almost every anime especially in the slice of life and romance genre. Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie does not do anything bold or overly interesting, yet it is a very solid show that is like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch of Romance Anime. The animation and character design is above the standard and the close up shots are very intricate and used effectively. Story wise is it pretty bland beside the small subversion that the female lead as some traditionally masculine qualities like acting tough and cool or saving their damsel,

One of the most stunning anime in terms of shot composition and overall cinematography. Other than that, a very slow show that is refreshing compared to the slop of seasonal isekai and degenerate taboo over sexualized shows that we’ve culture has and always has been associated with. Perhaps, there was a bit more room for some delinquency. Instead, the show is about a two high school students who are now step siblings. That’s it. That’s the show as it breaks down their complicated thoughts in their new environment. And it’s not bad. It’s not the great either.
Every character is more complicated than the show ... Mar 16, 2025
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru
(Anime)
add
A very solid show that depicts the joy of sharing one’s hobbies and interest. Overall, the characters have a lot of personality. The contrast between Gojo and Marin really drives the show. There is a significant amount of fanservice, but it is justifiable in the subject matter of cosplay as well as the young teenage character navigating romantic feelings. The show tries to balance regular life and the cosplay adventures, yet the pacing doesn’t seem to always align. It’s nice how our two main leads just enjoy spending time together. There is potential for more side characters. The only thing truly lacking is more emotional

A wonderful anime with solid production value and a great premise. I really just enjoyed Rishe’s personality and her outlook on the world. Each episode has solid pacing, but it’s annoying how she is great at everything even though the plot explains perfectly how that is the case. Solid heartfelt moments, the romance is good, and a good amount of pretty men so if that’s your thing then this anime is for you.
Story was solid for a first season, but I feel that the more interesting levels are later on. The art style is solid and embraces the fantasy setting. The characters are good ... Mar 8, 2025

Overall, a fun and humorous show that talks about the creative and narrative process. The little sister trope is a bit overplayed for me, but I think it lands fine. I liked the characters but that’s the issue I didn’t love anything. Honestly, the character I felt for the most was the editor because is job is very demanding. I just think the show had more potential instead of a group of friends all liking each other. Each one has a in depth backstory, but we barely scratch the surface for them. When we get character development it is focused as a reveal to the

No Spoiler Review Here.
I enjoyed this film and recommend it to those who like the Romance genre. I also recommend it in general for everyone because it depicts a disability in the titular character with her needing a wheel chair and they do fine job representing it. That being said the film and characters are underwhelming. The filmmakers do a poor job of letting the audience and the character interactions show what people are truly feeling. The tropes, cliches, and character archetypes are done well, but that makes them half baked. There isn't enough time devoted to flesh out the ... |
