かくして!! マキナさん!

かくして!! マキナさん!

Why did I even bother trying to watch this? Auto-healing sex bot goes to school and then moves in with a nerd under pretense of needing repairs. But she is auto-healing somehow, so... Did she really need repairs? I guess this is just an excuse to show boobs to underage boy, which is what most nerds wanted at that age.

Devil May Cry (2025)

Devil May Cry (2025)

It's definitely not for the fans of the game. Not really. Although the anime and manga that came before it also were not, but I think, at least, the anime was set in the same universe. But that's fine, it's not a requirement, after all.

Problem is that it's not about Dante. Yes, Dante is here, he plays a role, but I would argue that Lady stole the show. And maybe Rabbit. Maybe a few other side

Severance (Season 2)

Severance (Season 2)

It's kind of "meh". At least compared to 1st season. I could not put my finger on it, so tried looking at what other say about it, and one good explanation about what was off said that 1st season had more "purpose". I think that practically sums it up, really.

1st season had a lot of weird stuff, and while a lot of it was just for the sake of weird from cinematography point of view, most of it had

Episode 4:

I completely missed this when reading manga, but what they say is true: gold can be magnetized with heat (source). I also like how the iron-melting scene will confuse anyone who will see it out of context.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory

I am a bit conflicted.

I think main gripe with the game is that it's probably not my type of visual novel in terms of how the text is structured and presented. I prefer the way it's done inHeart of the Forestor the Vampire games (includingReckoning of New York): each paragraph or dialog requires explicit press of a button and auto-continue or whatever it's called is an option. Here it's

Mickey 17

I'd say it's a case of false advertisement. Trailers have suggested that this is a story revolving around cloning and that it is somewhat of a comedy, but neither is true in reality.

Cloning is just a trigger for the plot here, or, at least, one of the triggers. There is a short episode where the history of cloning is discussed, which suggests some bigger discussion, but it is forgotten outside of

Mono

Mono

Slice-of-yuri-photoshoot. Looks somewhat cute, I guess, did have a few fun moments, but overall not my thing. It also has a character that looks like that young grandma from Dandadan, but apparently she is not a grandma. Do what you will with this information.

Bloody Escape -地獄の逃走劇-

Bloody Escape -地獄の逃走劇-

This felt undercooked. There are a lot of things happening here, at least theoretically, since the world is supposed to be complex, but, I barely got the gist of it, possibly because I did not watch "Estab-Life", which is supposed to be like a prequel. I knew about the connection beforehand, but Bloody Escape looked like a standalone.

And it kind of is. The main characters are new, and only the "

日々は過ぎれど飯うまし

日々は過ぎれど飯うまし

Macochi the Food. Really, this likeBocchi, but instead of music, we are getting food. At least premise is extremely similar: the main girl is extremely shy, but gets involved with a group, that will intentionally or not help with her introvert-ness. Or at least help her become just a bit happier doing what she loves. And she loves eating good food, I guess. Maybe cooking, as well? Ending already

The Pitt

The Pitt

I don't even have much to say here, I guess. It's a great show. If you want drama as in "complicated relationships" it's probably not for you, even though there is some. It focuses on actual medicine, and when feelings are at play - they are related to what's actually happening, the stress of it all and the toll that stress can have on a person.

Pacing is amazing here. There is lots of stuff going

Total Recall (1990)

Total Recall (1990)

Watching first episode of recentMoonriseTV show reminded me of Total Recall, so I decided to rewatch it. It still holds, 35 years later. Yes, compared to some other more recent movies, one can say that it's somewhat simplistic, but perhaps it's part of the charm. It's not trying to be more than it is, while still delivering all that you would expect from a good story: action, love, loyalty,

Teogonia

Teogonia

It started quite "meh". Not like it became "peak" by the end of the episode, but... The magic can become interesting here. It's not breaking the existing rules (the way they were presented), but rather expands them, and acquisition of the power was simple, but it made sense and was effective (obviously). I already can tell, that the guy will eat the godstone next episode and probably get further

Moonrise

Moonrise

Less than a minute to know that this will be great. I have no idea how they did it, really. I mean it was just a set of wide shots with a guy humming over them, literally nothing else there, and yet on roughly 50 seconds mark I was thinking: "Damn, this will be another anime in my list this season". Not literal season, since all episodes are out already, so I will probably finish it before season

忍者と殺し屋のふたりぐらし

忍者と殺し屋のふたりぐらし

Kind of funny. Definitely got a few chuckles out of me, and it did have multiple types of humor here, which is a good sign. The chemistry between the 2 leads is also good and strong, they will make a good husband and wife, for sure. Will they be able to keep up for a whole season, though? There is a specific goal, "becoming number 1", so I suspect this will be a mix of slice-of-life and whatever

Apocalypse Hotel

Apocalypse Hotel

Realism is definitely not part of this anime. Why do they need a driller in hotel? Why does cook robot actually cook, when there is no one to cook for? Why write log on paper instead of typing it on some PC and storing it (or actually just "dumping" it from the robot's head)? Where is the electricity coming from? Why opening a door is considered a skill and how would it degrade in just 2 hours,

紫雲寺家の子供たち

紫雲寺家の子供たち

Why did I even bother watching this? I am not into harems, and I did read description for this one, so I knew it will be one, and what kind of harem. It looks and sounds good, not gonna lie, but I think it's pretty obvious who will "win" in the end. It did not pique my interest enough to continue past 1st episode, especially considering, that it looks like there will be a lot of shows I will be

中禅寺先生物怪講義録 先生が謎を解いてしまうから。

中禅寺先生物怪講義録 先生が謎を解いてしまうから。

Wait, was that a self-driving bus? There was no driver there. And it was somehow just standing there not trying to drive away, as well. What kind of tech is that, especially considering, that the series seems to be set in the past?

Aside from that... I don't know, not bad, had some good moments and is visually pleasing, especially during humorous moments, but the teacher... I do not like him. I

Nine Bodies in A Mexican Morgue

Nine Bodies in A Mexican Morgue

It's trying too hard to seem smarter than it is. And that spoils the spoils the show along with its length, since it probably should have been a 2 hour movie.

Personally, I knew who the killer was right away, but my reason was "it's the only person I recognize, and their playing capacity allows them to play a killer". But as is it's not like it was too obvious. There were hints, of course, but

ざつ旅-That's Journey-

ざつ旅-That's Journey-

Tourism from the couch, I guess. Just a girl going through Japan's places and looking at things, eating things, doing regular touristy stuff. Nothing bad stood out to me, but not my genre.

ヴィジランテ -僕のヒーローアカデミア ILLEGALS-

ヴィジランテ -僕のヒーローアカデミア ILLEGALS-

It's Hero Academia, but without the Academia. Having read the manga it's... Neither better nor worse, it has its moments of both downs and ups. First episode looks quite decent. I feel like they are going for a more comic-book style with larger outlines and with the pop-up texts. Outlines actually do make things slightly better, IMHO, but the texts - they annoy me a bit, since they seem too "

Summer Pockets

Summer Pockets

There is so much going on here. The guy's grandpa has died, he moved to clean-up (and clean-out) her house, while living there with his aunt. There is also some "relative" girl (cousin?) there, but she is probably just a comic relief. The guy used to swim, but I guess not a swimmer, rather a "swim shorts club" member, whatever that means. Probably does not swim anymore for some reason. There is a

#コンパス2.0 戦闘摂理解析システム

#コンパス2.0 戦闘摂理解析システム

Auto-battler, the anime. Or, I guess not really an auto-battler, since it looks like the original mobile game does provide some direct controls, but it's still animation for a 3v3 mobile game with no real plot. Both in the game and in the show. At least, that's not what I would call "plot". It was completely "meh", not exciting, just showing off like a dozen characters, with only 13 (that's a name

Witch Watch

Witch Watch

Will, probably, drop it, but giving it a small chance. So far I'd say the biggest reason is speed, as well, same as the other "Witch" anime this season (mighty coincidence), but it's not as fast, and it has better character introductions and (slightly) better humor.

前橋ウィッチーズ

前橋ウィッチーズ

Hold your horses, damn it! Slow down! This is 2nd anime in my recent memory, that I am dropping because I can't keep up with it, the 1st one being Momentary Lily. Main difference is that with that one I was not even sure what was making me lose focus while watching it, and here are I know for sure, that it's speed. It's blazingly fast.

I get it, that the beginning needed to be more dynamic, because
