Still not beating the ecchi anime allegations 😆

This place has really changed a lot…

My sister in Christ, that is the understatement of the century.

Oh yeah, Hanasaku Iroha feels uniquely homey and escapist at the same time.

There is not much drama in the first episode (unless you consider “will the pasta sauce stain come off” as one)

Then you haven’t truly laundered clothes. Those (and coffee stains) can be a pain to remove if you don’t act quickly enough or have done it correctly.

This reminds me of that Gintama episode where most of the animation is just the outside of the Yorozuya building, lol.

Also, how in the world are they watching an anime episode of themselves as well? Can someone show me that power?

This ongoing series is good enough take up one of my two seasonal slots.

Fus ro dah!

Assuming S3 ends in chapters 123/124, S4 onwards.

Summer 2025 was a season for the ages. I doubt we’ll see something like this for a long time. The most recent prior to that was Winter 2018.

Takopi’s Original Sin: They maximized the heck out of the medium and delivered six episodes of a complex and emotional story. I may not watch it again, but this is my new #1 overall anime.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity: At the end of it all, this one delivered what I thought it could from the moment I saw the announcement poster (although the final episode carried it hard). This is where I also realized I like Kuroki Miyuki’s directional style. Cloverworks is one of the best studios out there, and within Cloverworks, Miuyki and her staff form the best team.

Other 10s in that season: Dandadan S2 (utterly consistent) and My Dress Up Darling S2 (a great step-up from S1)

The year as a whole? 15 animes watched, eight (!!) are rated a 10, five 9s, and two 8. An apples-to-apples comparison to 2024 gives me three 10/10s out of 16. It’s crazy that Summer 2025 alone has more masterpieces.

The numbers corroborated my hunch about Winter 2018. I had four 10/10s in that season and 2/3rds of all 2018, movies not counted.

Ah, yes the spiritual successor of Ruri Rocks /s

Angel Cop

The poster, does that refer to

Can’t think of a better way to use its last episode.

There will be a season 2. Or would it?

It became a victim of its own meme.

As for me. Let the anime end on that point and no further.

Horse fans eating good.

Cinderella Gray 🤝 Steel Ball Run

For me, “we need more money to create better stuff” has become one of the biggest falsehoods of the time.

One Punch Man S3 catching strays with the grass slide animation.

A pretty serious episode, and in true Gintama fashion, goes meta in its messaging.

Disclaimer: Haven’t seen it.

It looks less scary than The Summer Hikaru Died and focuses more on the GL aspect. The supernatural appears to be more of a narrative conceit to get the story going.
