YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World – Episode 1
YU-NO’s mystery plot has potential, but that doesn’t really matter when its protagonist is insufferable.

No video game has ever hit me quite as hard as Persona 4 did. From Chie Satonaka’s very first moment on-screen, I related to everything about her.
Who’s ready for a pastel-shaded “cute girls doing cute things” show? The audience for ENDRO sure is!
I may not agree with the characters’ beliefs about relationships… but to be honest, I don’t think the writers do either.
I’ve probably put more thought into this show’s fairy-tale themes and contexts than is really there.
With a plot that would be right at home on the CW network, Domestic Girlfriend promises lots of scandalized gasps and cries of, “No, don’t do that!”
Just like the song in Gypsy says, “You gotta get a gimmick if you wanna have a chance.” And while otome anime aren’t quite the same thing as old-timey burlesque, the old rule holds true.
Of the two primary characters of My Roommate is a Cat, one is likable. The other is not. Can you guess which is which?
Rather than holler about a premiere that hinges on false rape accusations and slavery apologism and bring more attention to a bad series, we’re going to give that visibility to some organizations dedicated to helping survivors of rape and human trafficking.
I spent a bit of time hemming and hawing over whether to write this review or let it go as a sequel, since it technically is one. On the one hand, I don’t get paid if I don’t write it. On the other hand, this show is really really ugly and bad.
Boogiepop and Others is a show that requires active viewing. Either way, I’m interested to see what it’ll do.
This first episode sets up a surprisingly sweet nostalgia piece; a love letter to the bonds that form between people thanks to games.
A lack of fiction that portrays varied, healthy sexual relationships often leads to a lack of understanding, especially among younger audience members, about how to engage in those relationships safely. This is why I was overjoyed when I found the manga Horimiya depicting a kinky relationship with a healthy separation between reality and fantasy.
Hey, KyoAni fans! Are you ready for more pretty people with shiny hair looking downcast while working through their past traumas? Because Tsurune is here and it is just about joyless.
Merc StoriA has monsters that look like Eevees. Highly recommended. Review concluded.
The first episode of Conception is a bit like bad sex: a whole lot of build-up you don’t really enjoy that doesn’t even pay off with a decent climax.
You couldn’t even let me be angry, Ulysses, could you? Your first episode had to be inoffensive pap not even worth getting upset about.
I don’t know what I was expecting from SSSS.Gridman, but it certainly wasn’t this.
Sometimes, a show comes along that’s very “girl power” in a shallow way. You really can’t think of anything concrete to defend it. All you can say is: “Yeah, but it’s fun.”
IRODUKU isn’t offensively terrible. It’s just boring and bland and thoughtlessly retreads the same insidious tropes as everyone else.
