Yatsufusa's Early Anime Overview (Q2 2025) (Spoiler Free!)

Posted by Yatsufusa - 1 day ago



"I love criticism as long as it is unqualified praise."

 – Noël Peirce Coward (1899-1973), English playwright, composer of popular music, and actor



Welcome once again.


This is a ranked, spoiler-free list of which anime series seem appealing to me this season (Q2 2025). The season has just begun, so what I essentially offer is the estimate of what lies ahead, based on the preview on offer. Or In English: "I watched a lot of first episodes and here's what I think."

I won't go as in-depth as I did for my 2024 overview. Spoilers will be indicated in advance - although I think I managed to avoid those entirely this time...


Overall, this anime season's offering so far seems to be "about as appealing" as the last season. If you have a lot of unwatched backlog and still did not manage to get through it in 2024, 2025 seems to shape itself to become another 2024. ...With the difference that US Americans will "have to" pirate their shows now, because they are being bled dry by their elected government. What can I say? They did it to themselves...


One thing I noticed was that "almost nothing" came out in the first week of the quarter. With so many series coming out "last minute", I predict that professional reviewers will be rather cranky when they do similar projects as this one. (I think I had 3 new shows on this Saturday evening - it's all a blur!)


While this article is more of a preview, I might update it in time. If you are from the future, you can also check if there are any updates or additions at the end of this post.


And as is standard with these articles, entries are sorted worst to best.



New (Separate) Segment: The Ecchi-Appendix


(This will be its own, separate, Adults Only News Post - which will also be linked here. But I did not want to spam, so you will have to wait 3 days or so.)


Due to the resulting "A" age rating, the inclusion of "Ecchi" in the last article, excluded a not insignificant part of my readers. Since I had more underage readers than I thought, I branched "Ecchi" off and it got its own sextion - I mean "section".


Just to explain what "Ecchi" actually is: It's cheesecake. Definition done. ;)


...Okay, imagine this: You want to tell a story that features nipples and talk about sex, but you do not want to show the characters having sex or how they look like beyond their belly-button. In "Ecchi", characters behave playfully sexual, "naughty", or lascivious without it having to be played off as a joke.

It is different from "Hentai", where characters have genitalia and are having sexual intercourse in front of the "camera".


If you are a horny adult, you'll likely want to watch "Hentai" instead.

"Ecchi" on the other hand exists for the (apparently) rather niche audience that appreciates partial nudity turning into nudity (with obscured crotch regions). In a nutshell, it is a world closer to the real world, where sex in relationships exists and is discussed, rather than treated as a taboo. It is a medium for a mature audience that likes "naughty" scenes and immature panty-based humor that one would not depict in a show aimed at children under the age of 12. But since Japanese culture is incredibly prude, despite having a culture of public bathhouses, that "12" is turned into a "16".

Unless, of course, you're drawing or animating Ranma ½ - then you get away with panties and nipples without anybody questioning you. "Rules for thee but not for me.", I guess...


And I think that, by now, you have a pretty clear picture why I kept that category in an extension, rather than just dropping it altogether. Maybe one day we'll be able to treat the human body as something natural, rather than "Thou shalt be ashamed of thy natural anatomy!", you know...?


If you can hardly wait to read the current Ecchi-Appendix I'll go ahead and already tell you this: Just because I can appreciate "Ecchi" as a genre doesn't necessarily mean that all "Ecchi" is good - just like with all the other series I cover here... I'll make an effort to look into it, but there are no guarantees that that niche will get any quality writing in any given season.


[I've kept you long enough. Here you go.]

[Link will go here when the time comes.]



Anime Series


Unwatched


Let's start with some series I did not make the time for - often due to disinterest on my part.


There's no real "Stuff I'll skip"-category. If I did not list something you were interested in it is either not available to me or I had no interest in it to begin with. I'll list a few cases that I genuinely think might be interesting to people who aren't me, but the rest is "I have no intention of badmouthing this for no reason other than not being interested, personally"-stuff.

I am aware of the following series, but the chances of me finding time for them seem rather low:



The Shiunji Family Children

[Shiunji-ke no Kodomo-tachi]

The synopsis sounds extremely foreboding... I'm skipping that one!


Apocalypse Hotel

[Apokaripusu Hoteru]

I am picky about how robots are depicted.


Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?

[Danjo no Yūjō wa Seiritsu Suru? (Iya, Shinai!!)]

This is its own category. Like Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? I call this "Stupid Question anime".

If you're asking a question in the title, the conclusion an article or show is going to arrive at will always be "No."

Next!


Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentōshō

[Kijin Gentōshō]

"Sword anime" tend not to be for me, but it does not look bad.


The Dinner Table Detective

[Nazotoki wa Dinā no Ato de]

Last season's Tasokare Hotel has set the bar very high - and I was already eating Kyokou Suiri - In/Spectre for breakfast before that. I might check it out, but not in a timely fashion. This post is already late as it is...


Rock is a Lady's Modesty

[Rokku wa Redi no Tashinami deshite]

I'm sure it's great - if you like "Music anime".

I would like to look at some elegantly dressed ladies rocking out, but what I've seen so far has not filled me with hope. When it comes to depictions of an "academy for the sons and daughters of nobles", I have seen far better depictions.


Koupen-chan

[???]

I .

Will this be the next Little Shark's Outings? I have moderate hopes for this but I am terrified that they'll mess it up, so I'll make an update about that in a month or so. Just check it out yourself, if you're interested in "a softer world-stuff".


Anne Shirley

[An Shārī]

"Can you improve "flawed perfection"?"


In short: My nostalgia for the original series is just way too strong to give this anything even resembling a fair shot. If/when I'll watch this, I'll probably keep my biased opinion to myself.


If you have no prior experiences with that story, this might be very much for you, though...


Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

[Kidō Senshi Gandamu Jīkuakusu]

"I'm sure it will be great." (...they said sarcastically...)

Thus far, the Gundam franchise always knew to impress me with their Mecha-designs and to utterly ruin my opinion of it's author's writing skills at the same time. It beats "submarine battles in space" - which is what certain space battles of yesteryear boiled down to, but I'm not watching animes for fight sequences to begin with.


Plus: "GQuuuuuuX". The jokes about that title write themselves, I don't even need to do anything... ;p By the time you finished reading that sentence, you probably had made up a joke of your very own.


So I'll be skipping this one. But if 'you' like Gundam, you already made your decision and do not need my help to arrive at a conclusion.


Princession Orchestra

(AKA Princess-Session Orchestra)

[Purinsesshon Ōkesutora]

(I only had a glance so far, so I'll list it here.)

Generally speaking, I despise "Music anime" (only notable exception: Bocchi the Rock!), but I love Magical Girl stories.

While I haven't seen every Magical Girl show out there, I have looked into almost all of them - for serious research purposes. While there appears to be a lot of entries to the Magical Girl genre, it is not as overpopulated a it appears at first glance. Many shows are continuations in the same universe with a "new spin" - akin to Digimon.


I cannot tell if I will give up by episode 2, but right now Princession Orchestra looks good enough to stick with. If you're not into the Magical Girl genre and aren't looking for something to watch with a family member under the age of "12 to 14", then this is most likely not for you. On the other hand: If you like to see girls protecting the world, this might be an enjoyable watch for you, that brings back memories of yesteryear. It's visually reminiscent to DoReMi, but production quality and writing hold themselves to a higher standard.


Summer Pockets

[Summer Pockets]

Looking forward to watching this. At the same time I'm terrified they'll mess it up.

What will most likely happen is that I'll binge-watch it once they release the last episode. It worked for Island. ;)



Claims that I have signed a deal with the devil to skip certain series are entirely untrue. We are old pals - Lucifer could just ask me. I'd listen... ;3



Bad


Again: This is sorted from worst to... "less bad".



Kowloon Generic Romance

[Kūron Jenerikku Romansu]

Within 2 minutes, it will become clear that this is not what the typical viewer would expect when reading the title Kowloon Generic Romance. Also: The protagonist starts their day with a bite to eat and a cigarette right afterwards. Disgusting and revolting! (Do not watch this right after Food for the Soul.) Generally, there's a lot of "casual smoking" in this (feels like 30% of the screen time). Between this and the art style, my guess would be that they were aiming for a "90s look", but if you have seen a lot of anime from the 90s, it doesn't work out. It's "reminiscent" but it's not "nostalgic" and "that classic feel" is missing.

If you just noticed you are craving for something like that, and you are and adult, I'd recommend RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne - or just something that's actually from around that era - like Bubblegum Crisis (1987-1991).


My guess would be that their aim was "nostalgia", but there were a lot of effed up things in the past and a lot of them are coming back to me when I watch this, such as:

"A female character being defined through her interactions with male characters..."

"A male character effectively belittling a female love interest and then acting as if they were generous to spend time with her..."

It might not qualify as "sexism" for some, but this has a strong "chauvinism"-vibe to it.


Episode 1 became increasingly hard to watch until the end and if I wasn't writing this article, I would have quit right in the middle of that very episode. I'm not even curious how the story will continue after, who would have think it: A "dramatic" cliffhanger. I was so displeased with this that I was briefly considering adding "X out of 10"-ratings to my review, just so I could express that displeasure even more. But I think people who can write are better off without numbers in that regard.


My verdict is: "Well-animated, but please f*ck off! This is a culmination of everything I don't miss about that time."


Me and the Alien MuMu

[Uchūjin Mūmū]

I had more than enough than my fill from overbearing, selfish, demanding characters who bully those who are trying to help them - be they present in anime or online.

Hard pass!


#Compass 2.0: Combat Providence Analysis System

(AKA Compass2.0 - Animation Project)

[#Konpasu Sentō Setsuri Kaiseki Shisutemu]

I hope the "attackers" win. Them managed to despise the "protagonists'" side before episode 1 was over.

I call them "attackers" because they have not even been established as being on the wrong side in terms of morals. The "defenders" on the other hand... Well, that would be a spoiler.


/me looks at a reference-screenshot... "Dude, this even 'looks' cheaply made. What a train wreck..."


The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows

[Isshun de Chiryou shiteita no ni Yakudatazu to Tsuihousareta Tensai Chiyushi, Yami Healer to shite Tanoshiku Ikiru]

Despite the studio trying to speedrun E01, almost nothing happened. Felt like 8 minute stretched out endlessly... What poor time-management.

Shockingly boring.


Once Upon a Witch's Death

[Aru Majo ga Shinu Made]

Bleh!


I love Witches! (Spoilers for "one day": If any of you ever find out what it is that I do in terms of creative output, you will find out how true that statement really is...)

But despite that love, this series is predictable, boring, and starts out with a premise that users who can operate a calculator will immediately notice to be flawed.

I can already predict the ending. And even if this series got a second season, the sloppy writing makes me suspect they would fish for a third.


I understand what they were going for, but it makes up at most a minute of screen time per episode. Story and protagonist personality utterly ruin it.


The carbuncle is cute, though.


Maebashi Witches

[Maebashi Uitchīzu]

Again with the witches? You folks are shooting yourselves in the foot by all doing the same stuff. 3x Ecchi, 3x Music... I guess there will be a third series featuring witches as well.


So yeah: This one is apparently featuring what boils down to a thinly veiled analogy for capitalism, paired with "Idunnu. Just add some "quirky" stuff that girls would find motivational". The result is so easy to shoot down that one of the main characters frequently does just that. Even though I watched the full episode for diligence, they lost me as a viewer at the 7-minute mark.

Sad. The Japanese school system already tries to groom students into becoming office drones and now anime tries to turn them into obedient retail workers.


Lazarus

[Lazarus]

The plot isn't "bad" as a plot, but... My inner edgelord isn't nearly strong enough to make me like this. ;p

This strikes me as "somebody who likes to direct action sequences had 'one' idea for a plot and somehow got a room full of people with money to not worry about the giant plot-holes that become apparent within 5 seconds".

I think the story as told is shit and every character in this is stupid, but the choreography for the action scenes is good and must have taken them ages - just for episode one alone.


If you like action and do not care that the series was animated by MAPPA, which makes this the moral equivalent of slave labor (getting paid 1/4th of the going rates while not getting proper training and being overworked by "perfectionists" who clock out on time)... ...then this series might be for you. I'm out!


Your Forma

[Yua Foruma]

I could feel the PLUTO-vibes before the first episode was even halfway over.

"Thanks, but "no thanks"."


If you liked PLUTO and do not mind a world that looks like they "borrowed" half of it from Ghost in the Shell, this might be for you, though.


Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey

[-That's Journey-]

The animation is put together well enough, but it's more of a skeleton of something serviceable - rather than the actual thing.


I like slow life as well as exploration series. Laid-Back Camp [Yuru Camp△] was great.

This is not.


In terms of story, this is somebody telling you what they had for dinner because they couldn't think of anything else, and their solution to make the upcoming conversation more interesting is to eat their next dinner at a place you couldn't afford.


Maitre d': "A wise choice, monsieur. And now, how would you like it served? All mixed up together in a bucket?"

Mr. Creosote: "Yeah. With the eggs on top."

 – Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983)


It's a "Culture anime" without the actual culture. It's just knee-jerk tourism.


The Unaware Atelier Master

(AKA The Unaware Atelier Meister)

[Kanchigai no Atorie Maisutā: Eiyū Pāti no Moto Zatsuyōgakari ga, Jitsu wa Sentō Igai ga SSS Ranku Datta to Iu Yoku Aru Hanashi]

It is hard to talk about this without spoiling anything. If you were one of the 5 people worldwide who where hoping Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town [Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari] got a second season then congratulations are in order! This is the closest thing you'll get to that.


But if there is any target audience for this series, it certainly doesn't include me.

On the other hand: If you are already scraping the bottom of the anime-barrel, you might as well start here. This is "friendly" and I expect the finale to feel exactly the same as every other episode.



Sequels & Spin-offs


You don't really need advice from me here, but in some cases, you might not have seen the first season.



My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

[Vijirante: Boku no Hīrō Akademia Irīgarusu]

A My Hero Academia spin-off.

Since all of my complaints against My Hero Academia were very fundamental, rather than a thousand little things that added up, I'll be happily skipping this one.


Wind Breaker

[WIND BREAKER]

Season 2 is coming out.

Season 1 looked fun and promising. I can appreciate a story told through the medium of (non-lethal) violence. But large stretches of this story were too boring for me, so I dropped it.


Fire Force

[En'en no Shōbōtai]

Season 3 is coming out.

Fire Force started out brilliantly and I was very much into it but they lost me halfway through the second season. Too much crap I cannot find myself to care about...


I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!

[Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryōshu!]

I'm inadvertently proving a point I made about this earlier, by redirecting you to something I wrote earlier if you want to hear what I think about it.


Shōshimin Series

[(Shōshimin) Shirīzu]

Season 1 is on my list of things to watch, now Season 2 is out.

I doubt I'll get around to having a look.


For me it's "Schrödinger's anime" right now: It "could be" awesome and horrible at the same time. Until I open the box both can be true... ;p


Aharen-san wa Hakarenai

[literal translation: Aharen Is Indecipherable]

Season 2 is coming out. ...Wait, what?! O_O


To say that I was surprised would be a ****ing understatement! I loved season 1 and as with so many other good series, I did not expect it to see a sequel after close to 3 years.

Season 1 is... Hm. From memory, I'd say: "There's nothing like it." and "It's rather calm." apply most of the time. If this ever turns into a genre, we're going to see less heart attacks in Japan. :)


Heads-up: Some LGBTQIA+-baiting takes place in season 1. I felt the need to point that out because it was the only real criticism I had for that season.


I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level

[Suraimu Taoshite Sanbyaku-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Reberu Makkusu ni Nattemashita]

Season 2 is coming out.

Season 1 was brilliant and I re-watched it... "more than 5" times.


I'm kind of scared that they might mess season 2 up and haven't watched more than the first episode at the time of writing. It's... "okay". The energy I'm used to from the series isn't quite there. "A..." Hm... How not to spoil this...?:

"A main-cast character is portrayed too much over the top - which seem to be her only characteristics so far this season."



Middle of the Road Anime


Series that are "okay enough to watch" but might not become your favorite.



mono

[mono]

Interesting start into the story. More than once I though: "Is this how it feel to be lesbian for a straight woman...?"


The characters in some series are just "insane". This is one of them. They are fun to look at, but since they have such a wide range of actions that seem acceptable to them, you have to expect rather wide swings of what the story will be about next. If you are okay with that, this might be for you. If you are not, then this might be "fun - for a while..."


If you are interested in watching a photography anime that is more serious about photography and offers a deeper story, I recommend Insomniacs After School.


I am very undecided right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll watch episode 2.


Witch Watch

[Witchi Wotchi]

Bingo! A third series featuring witches. What the eff is wrong with the Japanese animation industry this season?


Not exactly brilliant, but it has a rather unconventional style of storytelling.

Similarly to last season's Zenshuu. I might like it enough to like it, but not enough to watch it all the way through. Time will tell.


The Beginning After the End

[Saikyō no Ōsama, Futatabime no Jinsei wa Nani o Suru?]

So far this seems to be very "standard Isekai"-fare, with a slow-paced(?) story about personal growth embedded into a more prominent sequence of gaining more power. The most original element so far might be that the emperor wears a piece of chin-armor - which makes no sense to me: The lower jaw is the bone in the human body that is the hardest to break. (Go protect your brain instead, man...)


If you liked Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (mentioning that one for no particular reason...), or As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World..., or any other Isekai series, really... You should just re-watch those instead. And if you do not like fighting, check out Ascendance of a Bookworm. It is inevitable that, the more Isekai stories there are, the harder it will become to innovate, but judging from the first episode, the author didn't try very hard in that regard. Given that most viewers drop off after episode 1, holding back your best material until episode 3 would seem rather balls-y, so this is where I drop out.


Sorry for being so snarky. I do not want to imply that the author just plagiarized popular shows and did nothing himself, but the elements that he did copy are very recognizable/blatant. I'm sure it might 'still' play out as entertaining, but in the first episode I was not presented with anything I had never seen before.


Shout-out to Daisuke Aizawa's The Eminence in Shadow, which basically only showed me stuff I had never seen before - or showed them to me in a new light. Brilliant work, Mr. Aizawa! (Please stay healthy!)


Food for the Soul

[Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi]

The animation quality stands out and you can see the high budget/effort from a mile away. The story is told in a rather calm, and, at times, slow fashion. So far, the character introductions have been focused on the one character who kicks the story off. Whether or not she will remain in a "protagonist role" or whether the cast will be introduced one by one is not yet clear.


This series being a about Japanese food, it is foreseeable that it will have a heavy focus on meat- and fish-centric dishes - which means it will always be a mixed bag for vegetarians, such as myself.

The food-aspect is comparable to Isekai Izakaya "Nobu". It's less flashy than Isekai Shokudou. And it seems less character-focused than Flying Witch. By my estimation, we will not know that much more about the individual characters but will learn more about the group-dynamic, as it develops. "'Bocchi the Rock!' this is not."


While I'd love to say stuff like "The food-appreciation is 'real'.", it's just too early right now. E01 feels like the tutorial in a video game. the audience has been set up, but the meat of the story has yet to happen: We got our Japanese pre-meal tea and had a cheeky look into the kitchen, but we are still awaiting what our order will end up looking like.


This looks as if it would be a nice watch for a calm evening when you are about to go to bed but don't want to doze off because it was too calming. ;)


The Gorilla God's Go-To Girl

[Gorira no Kami Kara Kago Sareta Reijō wa Ōritsu Kishidan de Kawaiigareru]

A fantasy world with sexism comparable to our own in the 80s - or the present, depending on which shitty backwards-country you happen to live in...

The main protagonist is a kindhearted but meek woman and the kind of growth I'm expecting to see here is exactly the kind of story that usually gets glossed over with the kind of "but now she can marry and be a good housewife" in some other stories. My hope is that it will turn out more like The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent - Season 1 than The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent - Season 2.


I'm being cautiously optimistic and I'm certain I'll enjoy experiencing the protagonists "fun adventures", but... "But while having a partner is great, you do not "need" a man in your lives to achieve success or happiness." - and I severely hope they point that out at some point and this will turn out to be good...


The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

[Kanpeki Sugite Kawaige ga Nai to Konyaku Haki Sareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru]

"I wonder what 'this story' could be about...? I'm not spoiling 'anything' for the reader. I hope you appreciate that..."

This could go either way. I'm not too invested in the titular Saint, but they did a pretty good job explaining how it could come to this situation and that "Yes, 'even in this fantasy world', many people are petty, selfish, greedy idiots!"


However the story will play out, it is blatantly obvious that the antagonists will get their karmic retribution delivered to them - not by the bucket-load, but rather they'll need an entire convoy of trucks for that. If you are a person who works hard and diligently and is underappreciated, but cannot quit their job, this series might be exactly what the doctor prescribed.



Very Good


"Good" to "sufficiently enjoyable to hook you for this entire season from episode 1".

The stuff that appeals to me so strongly that I will most likely go out of my way to watch it, even when I do not have the time.


"Oh look... It’s 3 again." Honestly: I did not plan for this. If it were up to me, I’d have one great series for every day of the week...



Catch Me at the Ballpark!

[Bōrupāku de Tsukamaete!]

Like so many other genres I don't like "Sports anime" either, but I can tolerate them if the writing is good.

Luckily for me, Catch Me at the Ballpark! is not a "Sports anime"; it's a workplace anime. The series is centered around the staff at a very wholesome, Japanese baseball stadium with a focus on the newest member of staff. And... Everyone is delightful!

My only complaint it the amount of alcohol depicted and that it's portrayed so nonchalantly.


I can already predict that this series will rank rather high when/if I do a ranking at the end of the quarter. If you watch anime to relax and do not want to remember character names or plot points, give this one a go.


You know how I go on about "this might be good", "this might turn out to be good", "I hope they don't mess it up" further up in this article...?

"This is good. Period."


Teogonia

[Teogonia]

One of several "last minute" entries before I put this list into shape...


I felt intrigued by the story before it even really started. While the animation budget seems "normal", the storytelling (and the intro) pulled me in immediately. I wanted to know more about this new world and what kind of struggles the characters living in it had to go through.

If you read manga, my bet would be that the manga this animation is based on would be superbly written and well worth your time.


If you are familiar with some of the ideas found in spirituality or if you're a spiritual person yourself, the ideas presented will be "less impressive" to you, but it is still a well-written story regardless.


From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Disciples Are All Grown Up Now and They Won't Leave Me Alone

[Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru: Tada no Inaka no Kenjutsu Shihan Datta noni, Taisei Shita Deshitachi ga Ore o Hōttekurenai Ken]

This is a down-to-earth story about a character who has honed his skills through hard work; rather than having been given awesome video game-stats. And what he does with this skill is: Teach it to others.


If you like Isekai but you are at the same time tired of the typical Isekai-formula, this might be your speed.

If you liked My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer, this might be for you as well.


For reasons I cannot quite put my finger on, the topic of helping others by guiding them seems to appeal to me... No idea why... ;3

There’s a good chance that this series will appeal less to you, depending on your outlook on life. I'm clearly biased here. I'm aware of my bias, but at the same time I cannot ignore it.



And this was is for the best Anime I have watched so far this season.

As overwhelming the offering turned out to be in quantity, as underwhelming it was in quality. But it certainly had its highlights and who knows: At the end of the season this might all look very different. There was a lot of stuff that I did not have the time for that might get a deeper look once the dust settles.



Western Animation


"Them American animés!" ;)



Devil May Cry (2025)

An old series existed, but this is a new one. I so don't care about Devil May Cry, but I wanted to share this information who do care and who were under the impression that they had already seen this years ago.


Unicorn Academy

Apparently, Season 3 is coming out.

I have actually completely missed out on this series during my Netflix days. What a blunder! I feel like I ended turn one and forgot to put a land card down... ;)


Have you watched it? Are you interested in sharing you impression in a (mostly) spoiler free fashion? If you can convince me that you watched it, write your own article about it to be linked here, send me a PM, and I'll put in a spot a spot for a guest-speaker. ;) (I would suggest spell-checking, though.)


Isadora Moon

Cute vampire girl. :3


I am not a vampire but I will probably look into this at some point.

At first glance, it does not exactly appear to have the highest production quality ("NG with more frames"), so don't hold your breath - but this may become a good "comfort series" for someone.




Jeez Louise! That took absolute ages this time...

"I never want to write anything ever again... Or at least I'll give stuff I 'didn't' like less spotlight ;) "
