Sonny Boy (Anime) add
Sonny Boy is a must watch show that I believe will quickly become a cult classic. Good or bad from the initial impressions you have to continue watching this until the end.

Sonny Boy although containing the dialogue and presentation sometimes of a really obtuse middle school stage play. This show is really impressive. Technically, visually, and especially thematically and structurally. Sonny Boy through it's entire duration keeps the aesthetic and themes of a typical high-school slice of life coming of age story, while at the same time keeping the presentation and flair of more absurdist, plot-oriented fantasy works typicaly of Masaaki Yuuasa.

It's hard to not ...

Preliminary (9/13 eps)
Yofukashi no Uta is one of the most solid, coming-of-age slice of life concept then I have seen in a long time.

This anime has a lot going for it in terms of being a coming-of-age story because it fleshes out a lot of the common existential ennui of being a young adult without diving into melodrama. The main character, Kou, is not a simple self-insert, although he is certainly relatable the secondary cast that surround him are really the heart and soul of this series. From the vampire waifus, to his childhood friends Akira and Mahiru. This show has a very strong ensemble cast of ...

Gojo Wakanda, the deuteragonist in this high school, slice of life romcom spends most of his days caring for his aging grandfather and working their family business. Etching, Sketching, and sewing laboriously for his love of Hina Dolls and his desire to perfect his craft. Gojo is so taken with his tasks that he does not even bother to make friends. Why would he? If he told everyone about his weird hobby they may shun and reject him?

That is until a chance encounter with Kitigawa, the over the top, bubbly 16 year old fashion model at his school who has an overlapping interest ...

Japanese NEET tragically dies. Finds himself in another world blah, blah, blah. We have all heard of this premise before. It's not particularly unique. It's an isekai series spawned form other notable isekai series and the fact that this is the only thing that anime consumers have an appetite for.

I don't want to have an overly negative tone because for what it's worth Mushoku Tensei is fine. Like a lot of series that I would give a strong 6 to a light 7. Mushoku Tensei has some great moments, some pretty terrible moments and some ok moments. The premise is here is the protagonist ...

Imagine being a kid and one day you wake up to huge paws, an enhanced sense of smell, and a sudden hunger for freckled, crazy, blonde panties. For most people we call that puberty, for Shuichi it is literally a nightmare as he finds himself blackmailed and joined at the hip to a crazy freckled blonde named Claire who quickly entagles him and a brutal and violent death game.

Gleipnir's setup and its first initial episodes have the subtlety of a brick. From the get go you know what this is about. Shuichi turns into a big giant fursuit, and when Claire steps inside of him, ...

Kami no Tou (Anime) add
For those that choose to watch Tower of God, you will be placed right in the middle of a hero's journey where an attractive, yet completely naive character called Baam, decides he needs to climb the tower. Why must he climb the tower, or why must anybody climb the tower? Your guess is as good as mine. Welcome to the tower of god.

In all seriousness though, the Tower of God stays sufficiently vague. It is a slow burn of a series. The world and how it works is completely ambiguous. Anime exclusive viewers can probably craft all types of theories explaining the bits of information ...

Id:Invaded (Anime) add
ID: Invaded is a semi-episodic crime procedural, sci-fi anime, in line with shows like Ghost in the shell: sac and second gig as well as the more recent and trendy psycho-pass. The basic setup requires a lot of psychobabble to explain. There is an organization called a Kura, which is a highly functional unit that uses technology that detects remnant particles called "cognition particles" that serial killers leave behind. The cognition particles are only one part of this whole organizations scheme. There is also a machine called the Mizunohame, a big machine that allows serial killers to enter into this dreamscape called the id: well, ...

This here is a doozy. An incredibly dense, emotional story that has several girls who are in a literary club, while at the same time coming to terms with their burgeoning puberty. All of this has the nice bow on top of Mari Okada's melodramatic writing style, which seems to be the space she is most comfortable in.

I liked this enough, but I in no way think it was Mari Okada's strongest outing or a very worthwhile show. Primarily because it is far too textual for my taste. This anime is just a string of girls falling in love while also trying to get laid. ...

Bunny Girl Senpai attempts to be the spiritual successor of Bakemonogatari. An off-kilter rom-com with quirky dialogue that succeeds in what it attempts to do, but absolutely in no way succeeded in standing out or being memorable. Bunny Girl Senpai's identity is primarily a visual novel adaptation. So that entails several arcs in a short period of time with a new waifu in every arc.

The first arc of this show subverted expectation insofar as the MC and his romantic interest had a semblance of chemistry and romantic tension. Also due to the fact that the screenwriter is known for his "quirky" dialogue. That culminated in ...

Planet With (Anime) add
Tis' Good Alright

I could go on a verbal flight of fancy, but I can get my point across in a simpler fashion. Here it is... This show is good. It's really good. AOTY contender for sure. While I can't say this with the utmost confidence, as it stands it is the best thing I have watched this year. Planet With manages to be an incredibly witty, smart shonen/sci-fi/mecha anime that perfectly encapsulates boyish fun and adventure.

Kuroi, although looking like an average boy. Is actually an intergalactic race of alien that got destroyed by a dragon(?), because his human-like species got their planet destroyed wholesale for ...
