I’ve been hungering for a hobby show this year, and I’m hoping Do It Yourself!! might do the trick.
While I do think the creators want to say something meaningful about xenophobia and colonial violence, the show mostly feels like a B-tier horror movie with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
Management of Novice Alchemist is a slow paced premiere sure to draw in the Atelier video game crowd but… maybe only the Atelier video game crowd, at least right now.
Do you want to see Revolutionary Girl Utena with a mecha hat?
Beast Tamer tries to convince you that communing with animals is totally uncool, but don’t be convinced: what’s totally uncool is this very bland premiere.
China-inspired fantasies have seen a resurgence in shoujo/josei fiction as of late, although this is the first one to get a recent adaptation. If this marks the beginning of a new anime trend, then it’s off to a strong start.
There are a few things guaranteed to get the AniFem staff’s attention, and this show has three of them.
Taming the Final Boss is an extremely endearing premiere, with a great heroine and solid table-setting for its central romance. It’s also almost certain to get lost in the wave of Fall titles, for reasons that are not its fault.
Bee and PuppyCat asks “What would a magical girl series look like if the ‘girl’ was a directionless young adult who needed to pay her bills?” and finds its answer in a deliciously strange premise built around temp work, alien otherworlds, and a grumpy talking (sort of) cat (sort of).
I’m a bit conflicted on this one, and it mostly comes down to the character of Kazuma Jun.
Trigger’s latest show is very cyber, but is it punk?
Kakegurui: Twin gives a standalone prequel story to Saotome Mary that welcomes newcomers and old fans alike with a story that feels just as fresh and fun as the main series, as well as some of its same problems.
We’ve battled through the desert of the summer season to find out what shows have beat the heat.
Leans heavily on its live-action predecessor and treats its female characters terribly.
Starved for shows? We’ve got some delicious titles to add to your Summer watchlist.
Potentially adult maid meets definitely a child boy in a romcom that would be so much cuter if they were both older.
The premiere seems determined to squander its good ideas with a combination of misdirection and persistent inconsistencies.
Summer’s lookin’ mighty dry, but we’re here to help you find some unexpected treasures.
A pretty strong offering for fans of the idol genre.
