The Fall 2023 season’s episode reviews start with me continuing my episode reviews on this title from last time around. I will also be episode reviewing The Apothecary Diaries once it debuts and maybe a third title if I have time, so you will see a lot more content from me this season.

Series Review: The Dreaming Boy is a Realist
This 12-episodes Summer 2023 series adapts a light novel series which is yet another alum of the Japanese writer-incubator website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. Though it came in largely unheralded – and was not popular enough to get picked up for episode reviews by Anime News Network – it featured an interesting spin on a standardContinue reading “Series Review: The Dreaming Boy is a Realist”
Summer 2023 Supernatural Round-Up
Special Review: Princess Mononoke
Posted: 9/10/2023I n anticipation of the upcoming release of what may well be Hayao Miyazaki’s final movie, Fathom Entertainment is rereleasing many of Miyazaki’s past films in American theaters as one-night-only events.

Summer 2023 Non-Isekai Fantasy Round-Up
Posted: 8/30/23 Last week, I did a run-through on the various isekai titles for the Summer 2023 season. Despite isekai tending to dominate the fantasy genre these days, this season still had numerous fantasy series that did not involve that trope; at least nine, in fact, and maybe more depending on how loosely you interpretContinue reading “Summer 2023 Non-Isekai Fantasy Round-Up”

Review: Ruroni Kenshin 2023 eps 1-6
Posted: Saturday 8/12/23 I had intended to have this review up last week, but a certain large gaming convention and the hectic start of the school year got in the way. Hence, I will still take care of this first and then do the mid-season Isekai Round-Up next week. The airing of this reboot ofContinue reading “Review: Ruroni Kenshin 2023 eps 1-6”
Review – Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune
This is an ONA series consisting of six episodes – a 45-minute first episode and five additional episodes ranging from 27 to 30 minutes long – with a total run time roughly equivalent to an eight-episode TV series. It is based on a pair of novels by Carlo Zen, the author of the Saga ofContinue reading “Review – Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune”
Mushoku Tensei s2 eps 1-3
This is the first installment in a rotation I intend to do for the Summer 2023 season, where each week I will choose one title that I’m following and look at what it’s doing so far/since its last review. I am starting with this one, but I also intend to cover Rurouni Kenshin and oneContinue reading “Mushoku Tensei s2 eps 1-3”
