UmaMusume Pretty Derby Season 2 Episode 1 Review Opener

The Fan Service IntroSo. We have reviewed Season 1. I joined Crunchyroll to review Umayon (between 1 and 2). Now we review Season 2 (2021). Which is good… Because I can’t review the game! Yeah yeah too fat too large won’t download on my large SD card. What a sad end to a long wait. Maybe if Orange Man Bad throws money at us I’ll get a phone with the large memory needed to review it. Maybe. So.…

Yen Press Assorted Entanglements Volume 7 Review Chapter One Hundred Thirteen (Digital)

Whose Chapter Is This Anyeay? Huh? It’s clearly a Heke Chapter with her dreaming of half baked bad cop Shinohara? You’d think so but… Heke is apparently all caught up with her work. But Bad Officer Shinohara has come to overwork Heke. Oh. Wait. That’s a dream. Shinohara would never be caught dead displaying as Japanese Daisy Duke. Whoops. So we find out its apparently Christmas Day? Huh? If…

Yen Press Assorted Entanglements Volume 7 Review Opener Chapter One Hundred Twelve (Digital)

Iori, Minami, Nudity and Cake. Ok. Let’s just drink this opening chapter in. The cuteness of the love between Iori and Minami. It will just wash over you… Even if you don’t have cake to enjoy tonight. We need more happy happy if they can actually stop firing at each other over at the Middle East.

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 223 Review

Who’s Ready For The Feels?!?What?? Sadness, redemption, a death all can be angry over, an innocent killed, and yet happy ending? Why Episode 223! You spoil us so! Time to add a new life to the short list of truly innocents murdered in this show… Ni. Not the Human. He’s an asshole. Anyway this wraps up rather quickly so before that… The Mitsuhiko Ai romance? Well… Ai has sprained her ankle, so…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 222 Review

Forget Lions And Tigers! Charleston Heston Wants You To Fear…Yup. It’s time for that meme again. BEARS! Only this time the bears are innocent, and one mother best will pursue evil itself to save her cub! Oh. Also there’s a murder where one of three heavily armed hunters is a killer. But that’s ok. It’s alright to let them run through nature murdering mommy bears. Human? Too far… Ugh. Wow. We…

Yen Press Monthly In The Garden With My Landlord Volume 4 Review Chapter Nineteen Part 1 (Digital)

Life With A Former Idol Singer… Wait… I need to pry my Conscience Wolf off my skull… LESS TEETH!! STOP BITING… What?!? They attacked Iran?!? Trump?!?… Ugh. As I write this we are getting to a press conference from the White House on the newest developments as B-2s out of Guam, and nearby ships, hit three facilities in Iran. Sigh. Really? I was thinking I’d actually die of natural causes before…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 221 Review

Echoes Of Pottery Master PastIt’s the resolution. A case with a rather ingenious set up for the murder display (if Once again hitting another Mouse Trap set up), but falters a bit as the motive… Harkens back. So the investigation is on. Mori pretty much is on his best, only occasionally being offended by Conan’s bluntness in questioning. Which brings up a strength in Conan’s character. His size…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 220 Review (Season 9 Opener)

A Crossover With White Snake?!?… The Chinese Demi-Goddess, Not The American Rock Band.Season 9 opens in a most traditional way. A Japanese Tea House, spooky period drama horror story, and family turmoil. Oh. Also there’s a crossover in the story with White Snake. The Spirit Of Vengence against jerky old style Japanese men. Yay? Anyway Part 1. Mori, Ran and Conan have arrived at this classic old…

Seven Seas I Married My Female Friend Volume 4 Review Chapter Thirty-One Part 2 (Digital)

Let’s Cut To The End. Look above. See that? The Chapter ends with Kurumi proposing that she and Ruri finally have a proper wedding on the anniversary of their marriage. So first off time skip. Second? Perfect ending to this. It began with a marriage legally. Via paperwork and legal documents. It ends with a marriage in total. The wedding day. At long last. This should be a great finale as the…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 219 (Season 8 Finale)

Dead In Sixty SecondsHey. This Season 8 finale is actually pretty good. Why? The Junior Detective League solves a case without Conan! Why? Blame smarty pants Shinchiro. So this is why Ai has to opt out. They needed to solve this without either brainiac “kid” involved. No Conan, no Ai… Until the trio needs to be saved from their poor choices. So why are the gang on this serpentine road? Well,…

Happiness To End The Series Thankfully the end of the series will have good things ready for Kurumi and Ruri. We start with the pair finally showing more and more affection to each other. Yay… And boo once we get to Chapter Thirty-Two. Remember that Kurumi has been writing a column since Volume 1? Her Editor says it’s about time to publish her first book through the publisher. As there is…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 218 Part 3 Review

It Works Better When The Victim Is Involved In The Plot!Yup. Sigh. On the bright side we have some good points on the reveal. Misdirection, simple magic, and best laid plans gone askew. Worst psrt? The motivation is a tale as old as the xeries. And the amount of ignorance for this reveal to happen is just mind boghling! So no more beating round the bush! Go right into the tram and lets get…

Seven Seas I Married My Female Friend Volume 4 Review Chapter Thirty Part 2 (Dogital)

The Reason For The Freakouts Sigh. Once back in Volume 1 or so, Kurumi talked about being a freebird and not being tied down. That’s it. Suddenly Ruri remembered that line from long ago. She equates being in a loving romantic marriage with Kurumi as tying her down, and going against Kurumi’s wishes. Huh. Don’t understand? That’s cool. Kurumi doesn’t understand Ruri’s logic either Thankfully…

Detective Conan/Case Closed Episode 218 Part 2 Review

The InvestigationSo is it just me or is the first half of this second part seem rushed? It’s balanced out by the second half (the investigation) being longer. Anyway it’s time to retrieve the body. How? Wouldn’t you know it? A friggin long set of stairs goes up from the area where the opening ceremony was, to the top of the Goddess statue. Her left hand (where the body was) within easy reach of…
