I thought Ikoku Nikki was amazing and no one should skip it, but actually, it's better & watching should be mandated by law

One of the main ideas behind the Ikoku Nikki anime so far has been to use the structure of the house that the two leads share to underline how "living together" has been a technicality. They're still two separate lifestyles and there is tangible, solid separation between the two

Frieren is back like it never left. Reassuringly familiar in aspects like its delicate palettes and soothing art direction deeply rooted in culture, or the emphasis on ephemeral elements of its world, both constantly tied to its central themes of time and the transience of things

Frieren S2 immediately dismantles all the noise about the new directors. Grabbing luggage off the ground reveals flattened grass under it. Walking away from her stupid magic prank still shows it shining annoyingly in the back. A series about time has to show consequence down to these details

The way Ikoku Nikki uses physical boundaries within households to show the gap between their inhabitants, but now that we're hopefully heading towards something healthier, something you make together in the same space is what leads to happiness...........

It's cool that Kyouhei Ishiguro woke up one day and suddenly decided to be the greatest anime opening director. Like yeah now he only makes insane, thematically rich sequences on good anime, where he matches indie adventurousness with polish exclusive to commercial work. Seihantai nation we up

Now that's good food. The Ikoku Nikki premiere had me gripped from the start, but it did take a bit for it to completely click. I don't know how it compares to the manga, but the way the script is arranged achronologically and the way it transitions between scenes is so clever.

God I love this show so much. Building on its themes even more, My Dress Up Darling shows how being an adult doesn't mean that you need to give up on your hobbies, even if they appear "childish" to others. There's nothing wrong with putting your all into something you enjoy.

Moving out of my parents' house next month and I haven't been this stressed in a while. Definitely going to be lonely for a while since I'm so used to living with other people

You can always count on Fujimoto to pull the most insane things out of left field but I never expected him to be this explicit in his depiction of America imperialism by the country finding a way to invent nuclear weapons again. My jaw was on the floor

I'm careful not to hyperbolize the status of up-and-coming creators, because the way that staff discourse is driven, too many youngsters who landed fancy, mostly straightforward yet bombastic high-profile anime are burdened with unfair expectations of "legends"

Mono was a very interesting show. The production value blew me away, especially since this is from a brand new studio. That being said, it really struggled to keep me engaged in the second half as I realized that they weren't going to focus much at all on photography.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.
Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

Rereading some of Kaguya-sama and I'm just reminded again how peak this series can be at times. I absolutely love the emphasis on the need to not be scared of showing yourself to your significant other by framing romance as something that requires that from both parties to be genuine

Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 4 might be my favorite episode of the series so far. Literally had everything I wanted from great direction to really amazing writing that helped convey Sakura's struggle throughout the show as he tries to open up to people.

1. Wind Breaker Season 2
2. How to Become Ordinary Season 2
3. Witch Watch
4. Summer Pockets
5. My Hero Academia Vigilantes

The Summer Hikaru Died still looks great. Quite fitting but it's a bold choice to commit this unequivocally to an uncomfortable, bleak summer feel. Good friction. Also, Hiraoka in a role all about dripping, unnerving morphing animation is the visual typecast of the decade
