I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Ep. 5: A strange aftertaste

Umi is telling their whole life story — how she first met Yuu, how she introduced Yuu to her friends, how things started feeling off in middle school, how those same friends eventually turned around and ditched Umi just to hang out with Yuu, so on and so forth. It’s a whole ass soap opera. That last part sticks out to me, though. Could it happen? Sure. People can and have been a lot worse to their friends. But the degree of horribleness is not what I’m questioning. Rather, it’s the consistency.

Witch Hat Atelier Ep. 6: Setting the stage for the Knights Moralis

Leave a reply

Hmm, hmm, hmm… what Qifrey’s saying makes sense. So has he invented a spell to keep an eye on his students yet? I mean, I’m just saying… after the latest incident with the Brimmed Caps, I hope everyone has learned their lesson. And of course, I don’t mean just Coco. Qifrey’s carelessness is a huge concern going forward. I feel as though I have to push back on this guy, because everyone else is just singing his praises nonstop. Y’know, this is despite the fact that, well, he’s downright irresponsible. “He is him,” “He’s so amazing,” “He’s so nice,” yadda yadda yadda. Needless to say, I wouldn’t trust the average anime fan to watch a kid if this is how they see Qifrey.

NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE Ep. 5: Self-perpetuating

Leave a reply

A little girl stares at a poster promoting Karamazov’s upcoming live event. Did Karamazov just influenced another poor soul? Sure seems like it as we see a butterfly flutter by. Elsewhere, Karamazov hears about Kache long, overdue breakup, so they thinks it’s time for a makeover. I thought they would pay for said makeover, but no such luck. Even influencers with hundreds of thousands of subs can be cheap, huh? And geez, a thousand bucks for these simple outfits? Kache just quit her job. She shouldn’t be dropping a hundred bucks on anything, much less a thousand on clothes. Now, I do agree that good clothes can give you a major boost in confidence, but I dunno if you necessarily need to spend this much money. Kache says she feels lighter, but of course she does! She’s a thousand bucks lighter! And we haven’t even gotten to the accessories! Again, Karamazov are huge, right? So why not help their friend out? Or do they think they’re being charitable by even hanging out with Kache in the first place?

Daemons of the Shadow Realm Ep. 5: A family reunion rudely interrupted

Leave a reply

Yuru wants to see and talk to Asa, so Jin invites him to the home of the Kagemori clan instead, claiming that no harm will come to Yuru. There’s no reason why Asa couldn’t meet them at a neutral location, but Yuru ultimately relents. Ehhh, I don’t know about that, buddy. Fine, Jin has no intent to kill. But capture? That’s exactly what he tried to do just moments ago.

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess Ep. 5

Leave a reply

Heronia is now claiming that Bertia bullies her. My first thought is you need evidence! You can’t just say whatever you want willy-nilly! You need evidence to back up your allegations! Then it zoomed in, so I saw that stupid bird. It’s probably using its dumb charm magic or whatever to sway people to her side. Sure enough, we’ll later find out that this is the case… sorta. So far, Heronia’s charm seems to only work on the boys at the academy. Bertia has gone ahead and even protected the capture targets, so Heronia doesn’t even have the important boys on her side.
