Another season of premieres watched and reviewed! Now that we’ve gone through every premiere, it’s time to line ’em up next to each other and see how they compare.
Part 2 of the four-part watchalong of Berserk with Amelia, Peter, and special guest Kara Dennison!
It’s not without promise, but the whiff of cut corners and cobbled-together script elements is enough for me to cast a highly suspect eye on this one.

Part 1 of the four-part watchalong of Berserk with Amelia, Peter, and special guest Kara Dennison! WARNING: Due to the nature of Berserk, sexual assault, abuse and violence will be discussed in this and future episodes.

If you’ve been watching anime at all these past five years, you’ve seen this series before. But, uh… I still kinda liked it?
Watching this show was like riding a bike down a sunny hill and slowly realizing it’s not a hill at all, but a trash chute leading to a burning landfill.
Amelia, Dee, and Peter look back on the spring 2017 season!
Y’know that moment where Charlie Brown runs toward the football and Lucy pulls it away, like a boot stomping on a human face forever? This episode was that for me.
