Sometimes you start an anime thinking you’ll watch an episode or two before bed. Then somehow you’re nine episodes deep the next day wondering where your afternoon went. That was How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer for me. I finished the entire series in two days, and honestly, I probably would’ve watched it even faster…

I’ll be honest: After the first episode, I wasn’t convinced This Boy Is a Professional Wizard was going to be for me. The opening didn’t immediately grab me, and when Toyohi confessed that he was falling for Kashima so quickly, I started preparing myself for something overly cheesy and emotionally shallow. At that point, I…

Every once in a while, you stumble across an anime completely by accident and end up enjoying it far more than you ever expected. That was Quiet Please! for me. I found this short South Korean animated BL after randomly coming across a reel on Facebook. Curiosity got the better of me, I dug around…

I originally watched Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! before the English dub existed, so going into this wasn’t a first-time experience. I already knew the story. I already knew where the romance was headed. I was honestly just curious to see how the dub handled everything. What I didn’t…

Sometimes an anime doesn’t need to be amazing to be enjoyable. That’s pretty much where I landed with BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. After finishing both seasons, I wouldn’t put it anywhere near my all-time favorites, and I don’t think it’s one of those legendary comfort-watch series…

I genuinely don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about Oshi no Ko. After finishing all three seasons, I can confidently say this is a top-tier anime series. It’s beautiful, emotionally devastating, frustrating in the best and worst ways, and packed with some incredibly satisfying character moments that kept me completely invested. That said, this…

Angels of Death Review: What the Hell Did I Just Watch? Some anime are easy to explain. Angels of Death is not one of them. This is one of those shows I binged quickly and then sat there afterward like, “Was that actually really good, or did I just watch a slow-moving psychological horror trainwreck…

Sasaki and Miyano Review: The BL Comfort Anime That Makes You Kick Your Feet Some anime are good. Some anime are memorable. And then there are the dangerous ones. Sasaki and Miyano belongs firmly in that last category. This is the kind of show you throw on for “just one episode” and suddenly realize you…

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Review – The Romance Anime You Watch After Slow Burns Betray You Sometimes a romance anime shows up out of nowhere and reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in the first place. In the Clear Moonlit Dusk was that series for me. I found this absolute…

Some anime win you over instantly. This was not one of those shows for me. Actually, this was my second attempt at watching Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. The first time? I tried watching subbed and if I’m being completely honest … My brain tapped out. The Japanese dialogue mixed with Russian dialogue…
