Rating: B The first episode ended with the bombshell revelation that Alas Ramus, the toddler who appeared from a golden apple and was capable of stopping Better Half with her bare hands, regards Satan and Emilia as her parents. This episode starts by showing that she’s absolutely adamant about that belief, no matter how littleContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 2”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 1
Rating: 4.5 (of 5) NOTE: An episode 0 does also exist for this season, but it is entirely a recap of the first three seasons narrated by Bell and Hestia, with scenes from the trailer for season 4 thrown on at the end. It is fully skippable. DanMachi has returned for another season! Like withContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 1”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 1
After more than nine years off, this beloved anime adaptation is finally back! It features a new animation studio, new director, and substantial but not complete turnover in the primary staff, but all of the original seiyuu for the major roles reprise them here. The result is an episode which spends most of its runContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 1”

Spy x Family episode 12
Rating: A (equivalent to 5 of 5) To put into perspective just how big a hit Spy x Family is as the Spring 2022 season comes to an end, it is approaching 75,000 ratings on Crunchyroll for just a single 12-episode season. This is a mind-boggling number that’s 10k more than Demon Slayer, 16k aboveContinue reading “Spy x Family episode 12”
Spring Wrap-Up Part 2: Skeleton Knight in Another World
The concept for this series could not be more generic: a dedicated gamer wakes up to find himself in a fantasy world in the form of his uber-powerful game avatar. He doesn’t know how he ended up there or why, so he decides to just go with the flow and begins adventuring. Along the way,Continue reading “Spring Wrap-Up Part 2: Skeleton Knight in Another World”
Spring ’22 Wrap-Up Part 1: I’m Quitting Heroing
NOTE: This review does not include the first of the two-part OVA for the series, which streams the evening of Thursday 6/23 on HIDIVE. If you had asked me early in the season what series I thought might have been worthy of a full review at the end of the season, I’m Quitting Heroing probablyContinue reading “Spring ’22 Wrap-Up Part 1: I’m Quitting Heroing”
Spy x Family episode 11
Rating: 4.5 (of 5) Sometimes the funniest jokes aren’t always the most obvious ones. That is definitely the case with this episode, where some of the best humor comes from a surprisingly simple device: in Anya’s imagination about how people react to what she’s doing, they all speak in her voice. Something is just terriblyContinue reading “Spy x Family episode 11”
Ascendance of a Bookworm episode 36 (finale)
Rating: 5 (of 5) This season of Bookworm was only scheduled to be 10 episodes, as that much brings the overall story to its most obvious transition point. Hence it’s quite satisfying that the last episode is also the best and most emotional for part 3 of the series. It also loads up with bombshellContinue reading “Ascendance of a Bookworm episode 36 (finale)”
