There will always be a special place in my heart for food related anime. They’re universally appealing and usually has better recall than other genres. Of my early anime viewings, it’s easy enough to cite Cooking Master Boy, Yakitate!! Japan and Yumeiro Pattiserie as memorable titles. So, it was a no-brainer to include Food Wars: Shokugeki…

Watch | GATE: Jietai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri Season 1
Considering the limited viewing time I get these days, I have to consider what I’m watching when I do get the chance to actually sit in front of the TV. With a one-year old running around and demanding attention, I have to make sure that I watch something that I would actually understand even if…
Watch | Gakkou Gurashi!
If there was a contest for the most misleading poster artwork from last year’s summer anime roster, then Gakkou Gurashi! would have won hands down. I mean, look at it. It’s a bunch of cute girls in school. Albeit that school is in dire need of repairs, but I guess that’s why one of the characters…
Watch | Ore Monogatari!!
These days, I don’t have the time to research anime titles ahead of their release. If I can’t squeeze in the time to read the summaries or synopsis, I usually have only the poster artwork to go by and guess what’s happening. When I first saw the image on the left, I thought Ore Monogatari!!…
Watch | PSYCHO-PASS Season 2
I recently read an article about the current state of the anime industry, with some production studios struggling to make profit and others forced to churn out half-baked anime titles because of smaller budgets to work with. I don’t know if it’s because of that or because I have access to more titles than I…
Watch | Amagi Brilliant Park
When you’ve been watching anime for a long time, you tend to just accept that a title can go either way when it comes to your viewing experience. There are series that start off strongly, then just disappoints you at the end, whether it’s outright bad storytelling or inability to live up to a title’s…
Watch | Akame ga Kill!
When my anime viewing list ends up getting crowded (which is always, always the case), I tend to go through that list alphabetically when I do find the time to watch. Which is why I was more up to date with Akame ga Kill! than all the other titles. Let me clarify, though, that alphabetical…
Watch | Barakamon
I’ve heard a little bit about Barakamon prior to the official release of the anime series. The original manga version is generally well-loved and considering my soft spot for slice of life anime series, I looked forward to watching Barakamon when it was announced to be a part of last year’s summer anime offerings. Despite his young…
Watch | Ao Haru Ride
Ah… Ao Haru Ride. The latest romantic anime in a high school setting in my viewing list (there are probably a couple of others, but I haven’t gotten around to them just yet). And no, I’m still not yet sick of watching this kind of storytelling, because Ao Haru Ride was a reminder of what makes…
Watch | Hamatora and RE:_Hamatora
When I was checking out the summer anime titles last year, I realized that the season included Re:_Hamatora. I realized then that I have yet to finish the first season of Hamatora, and decided to just watch the series and its sequel in succession so I can do a single wrap-up. Hamatora refers to the private…
