The true horror in this episode wasn’t the body penetration nor the monster in the woods. It was that lady at the counter
- Comment on Crunchyroll & Now Netflix Both Confirm Anime Sub Watchers Are the Minority on Their Platforms 5 days ago:
I still prefer to watch subbed because even if the main characters have decent VAs in the dubbed version, it’s way more common to have some disappointing performances among supporting cast there.

The atmosphere in this show is incredible. Welcome back crazy woman Image
- Comment on Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 is set to release in 2026! 1 week ago:
I watched two episodes and dropped it because the plot was super generic and I was just incredibly bored with it. From what I’ve heard from people who watched it, it was like that throughout the whole season. I admit that this show had really good production quality but that’s not enough to keep me interested
- Comment on The Summer Hikaru Died • Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu - Episode 1 discussion 1 week ago:
It was an interesting start. The tense atmosphere was there and production quality seems really good. I’m always cautious when it comes to horrors because good ones are hard to come by, but this looks promising.

Is this even available anywhere outside Japan? I heard Netflix has it scheduled for September
- Comment on Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus • Seishun Buta Yarou wa Santa Claus no Yume wo Minai - Episode 1 discussion 1 week ago:
I don’t really know what to think about this. At the first glance it looks good but it also seems that they’re rehashing the same scenario from the first season and Knapsack Kid movie yet again. And it gets boring to watch the same story but from a different angle for the third time. I only can hope this season gets more creative
- Comment on Takopi's Original Sin • Takopii no Genzai - Episode 2 discussion 1 week ago:
I never would’ve thought that reaction “Wow just like magic” can be used in such a context…
While this attitude Shizuka had may throw some people off, I think this could be some form of her dissociating after witnessing a traumatic event
I guess all the happy shots from the trailer were just in Takopi’s mind.
I think we also may be seeing some events through Takopi’s eyes as an unreliable narrator, like those sparkle effects around Shizuka’s face. I guess we’ll find out in the next episode whether this was what I think it was or the show is starting to lose its footing by trying to be too edgy and doing things just for the shock value
- Comment on Call of the Night Season 2 • Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 - Episode 1 discussion 1 week ago:
That was a fantastic comeback. This airs at 5:30 PM where I live, but it was worth waiting until it gets dark to watch this. It’s best to watch this at night for the vibes. I think the first season had better opening and ending songs and I kind of wished they would’ve kept Yofukashi no Uta for ED but Mirage is not a bad song either and I think it may grow on me after a while
- Comment on Takopi's Original Sin • Takopii no Genzai - Episode 2 discussion 1 week ago:
I was wondering how they’re gonna redeem Marina over time but I guess that’s not the case anymore. I didn’t expect Takopi to solve the problem with a blunt force.
- Comment on What horror anime scared you the most? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I can be properly scared by a movie these days but the best “scary” scenes in anime that made me feel uneasy were in Mieruko-chan, even though it’s only a comedy show with some horror mixed in. Some scenes from from the first season of The Promised Neverland may also fit the bill
- Comment on Did anyone here brave enough put "Boku no Pico" on their MAL or Anilist? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve put it on my list. It’s the only one that I rated 1/10
- Comment on Umamusume: Cinderella Gray • Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray - Episode 13 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I generally don’t like sports anime – I didn’t like Haikyuu, I thought Tsurune was mid, and most shows of this kind bore me to death. But this season of Uma Musume somehow managed to pull me in. Every race felt unique, I was hyped for the competition, and the comedy bits were great, even though towards the end we’ve seen less of it. I’m really satisfied how this finale turned out. We finally have worthy competitors to Oguri and it makes me excited for the next cour, which was announced to air this fall.

It’s from the author of Violet Evergarden so I’ll at least give it a try.
- Comment on Apocalypse Hotel - Episode 1 discussion 3 months ago:
Out of the shows I’ve seen so far this season, this one had the best premiere.
- Comment on Lazarus - Episode 1 discussion 3 months ago:
The first episode looks like all style with no substance. The visuals are fine but the dialogues suck and VA deliveries feel very flat. I didn’t expect much because I’m not a fan of Watanabe’s works, but even with that in mind it disappoints.

Really fun first episode. I’ll be definitely watching this. The song they played at the end is Ghost Dance by Lite

I totally didn’t plan to watch this but first episode was surprisingly good. The action scenes weren’t great but storytelling hooked me in right from the start. I’m still gonna be cautious though, because the studio’s reputation is in the gutter. Let’s hope this won’t crash and burn this time.
