Birdy The Mighty Review

it is deeply upsetting to me that we didnt get more from this more faithful artsyle no hate to decode because i havent seen it yet but visually i just love this one its so gready birdy's design is perfect in this shes awesome and the decode birdy just doesnt hit the same for me

this was really cool if you want to see a story about like a weird girl who can enter your body and puppet you and become you and has super strength and fights like alien robots and shit this is the anime for you

Bang Dream! Its MYGO!! Review

i think its awesome anons dream is to be a manipulator on soyo's level but shes really fucking stupid and pathetic so she cant and the whole time soyo was trying to recapture the brilliance of the old days by any means necessairy and anons main goal was to start a band called anon and the anonlings and have millions of adoring fangirls even though she cant play guitar and isnt good enough to be a lead vocalist

Tsuyokiss Review

anime adaption of an untranslated visulan ovel and i think this one is interesting because its method of adapting is is to take the girl from the main route? or at least one of the main girls and make her the actual protag which i think is genuinely a pretty good way of adapting these kinds of vns in an interesting in fun way because even if the love interests in these are pretty cookie cutter usually the guy mcs are even more cookie cutter and honestly not that interesting to follow so they really should do this more often. this also services as sort of the other side of the spectrum of interesing vn adaptations that comic party did in the sense they they basically didnt really adapt any route and more or less reimagined the general idea of the gameplay into a more conventional storyline that it seems like wasnt there in the original vn or at the very least not to the extent that it is in the anime its hard for me to know because the vn isnt translated but i at least have to assume its like most eroge dating sim vns where the story is more about the girl of the route and whats going on with her ( i should say the tsuyokiss anime also does a fine job of still giving the other girls interesting things to do and honestly very little of the anime is dedicated to the love plot

Sorcerer Hunters Review

another in the long entries of shows i watched because megumi hayashibara is in at and of course her character Tira Misu is one of the best and has an awesome design. this is a very slayers core show and isnt really that series whenever the main atagonist isnt on the screen but then when he is shit get like pretty dire pretty quick its honestly a little surprising and the ending sequence is like insane its pretty cool

i also watched the ova they were really horny i mean the show already skews horny the two main girls battle mode is just them as domanatrixes but the ova episodes are all like the characteres all trying and failing to fuck each other

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Love You (Anime Season 1) Review

this one i probably will watch season 2 for if i get bored but idk yet

now this is a tough one to discuss. many i know swear by this. at the same time, many i know at horny freaks. you may roll your eyes when i say this give the amount of 90s ecchi slop i watch but im actually not really that horny at all. its true i am an enjoyer of beautiful women but im just chilling and vibing and if they get their freak on thats fine with me but im not seeking it out

to prove this, lets plot it as a graph

i dont think i need to elaborate on any of this and its all fairly straight forward . well i mean some of you are probably saying "heh.... you thought that was freaky? you wouldnt survive 5 minutes in a manga lobby!" and you know what youre right i probably wouldnt. im half willing to forgive the hahari bit up to this point because shes a milf and the situation could be fixed if i rescued her from her current situation and also acted as her lawyer to advise her to stop talkin crazy about kids. but that one redhead that takes the drug to look young too much i dont fuck with that age regression shit incredibly weird to me and that was like gf no. 4 or 5 bro im #freakfucked by the time we get to gf #23 its going to be an kemonomimi chicken girl and her main bit is gonna be like she wants to lay rentaro as an egg or some shit and its like what the hell am i suppose to do with that huh? anyways shout out to the book girl shes like a real character and i wasnt really expecting any of those when i start this. when it isnt trying to do some out there (by my standards) fetish shit or whatever this is still a mostly funny show i think a lot of the time the bits are like too fast or like. hard to explain but like theyll do a joke and its pretty funny but then they need rentaro to react or something and hell do like a quip or a pun .5 seconds after the joke happens and its like the show things if its not making loud noises im gonna look at my phone and their boss is gonna shoot them in the head and its like its okay bro im watching youre gonna be ok i promise. basically like theyre theyre afraid of losing the zoomers so they gotta do like mr beast editing which i dont need so there are times where good bits kind of fall flat for me but overall i think the show is fine

Rozen Maiden (Anime season 1) Review

back at it again. for some things i wait to review sometime until i watch all the seasons unless there are like way more seasons than 2 or i dont think im going to watch the later season and this is one of those times. i actually liked what i saw i thought it was a very cute very interesting premise but the leaned further and further into lil dude and the maidens having like romantic tension and honestly i just dont fuck with it. if jun was a girl i would put up with it just being kind of weird but im not doing that shit for the crashoutler. definately a fun watch for one season though

2064 Read Only Memories Review

this is going to probably be the closest thing i ever write to a negative review. i think the game is fine but the good parts of this game are uninteresting to talk about and the bad or questionable parts of this game are.

first of all i think this game basically just uses its sci fi setting and themes pretty much exclusively to talk about identity. NOTE: I AM NOT DOING AN ANTI DEI BIT OR SOMETHING i think its fine and even good that very clearly this game is trying to tell a LGBT story they are not shy at all about it just about every character in this game is nonbinary or a lesbian or trans or gay or bi or some combination of everything you can imagine i mean they even let you pick the neopronouns most people make fun of in your gender selection at the begging of the game. i think all that is great but also theres this weird disconnect in the story where like its very clearly about identity on a secondary level for all the side characters of the background story like the hybrid plotline and then like the main plotline is about ai becoming/being recognized as/gaining a sense of identity and humanity and shit and thats all great. but in my opinion when its completely obvious to anyone who even looks at the character designs that this game is "woke" as hell i think its fucking crazy that theyre still kind of like acting like they super smart and breaking the mold when they have characters basically list out which lets of pride they fall under and then still be coy about how like they very clearly wanted to draw a parallel between the hybrid plotline and real life attitudes about trans people like its like guys im not patting you on the back for reinventing transphobia as a way of showing how transphobia is bad. you are clearly okay with writing about this so idk why you're jumping through hoops like this am i suppose to be impressed you came up with what if transphobia also had a little bit of racism sprinkled in as if you both dont already know that already happens in the real world and you just said well what if the normal version wasnt really an issue but there was like a more scifi version of it. basically the same thing happens with turning and the other roms basically every time the ideas of roms gaining/having/grappling with a sense of identity they kind of act all pretentious and are like heh yeah that right we had turing briefly ponder which pronouns best suit him can you believe it. like yes actually we all can believe it. as a result a lot of the writing basically creates a vibe that i have called The McElroy Brothers' Present: Gay Snatcher(TM) Sponsored by Buzzfeed

what does help this is the dialouge system is just fucking stupid to be honest techincally speaking it opens up a few slight changes in the story in terms of which endings you can get and what puzzles you do but also they way they acomplish this is pretty much every time you are prompted to say something you have 2 or 3 choices and they are always exclusively

say something nice/positive/normal/obvious correct response

neutral/completely unhelpful option

be a dickhead for no reason and act like you didnt chose to play the game and you are begrudgingly forced to play the game like you are a teenager summoned to the family dinner when youd much rather be in your room playing your Nintendo DS and listen to my chemical romance and all time low

and to me its just a fucking stupid and boring way of doing dialouge choices. oh if youre just mean to everyone who are all basically just there to help you anyways actually they wont like you and it will have negative concequences. the main point of this system is basically if you are nice to turing you get a better ending than if you are mean to him. why would you be mean to him? hes a little annoying maybe i guess if youre like still really pissed a navi and have a trauma responce to all helper/guide character that cause you to hurt yourself and others the minute you hear anyone suggest you go do something for more than 3 seconds

anyways enough of that ultimately its still like a fine game like a 3/5 stars

moon: Remix RPG Review

a generational game that is slightly tedious that basically requires a guide if you want to see some of the events of the game but perfectly understandable because that maybe ties back to the themes of the game i did most of the love events in this game except some of the more specific ones that require you to entire do stuff on multiple specific days (stuff like some of the technopolis stuff, the haunted house stuff (got bored trying to fish for the last food thing for the one event), and the guy with the paper airplane to name a few) but this is a truly special game that does something beautiful

Dragon Ball Daima Review

such a sweet send off for toriyama dragon ball. i am NOT an aurafarming powerscaler and i dont read the super manga but i am not a doomer about super and non-toriyama helmed dragon ball at all and although its unfortunate they are probably going to very quickly start doing new anime stuff or something i still think theres a lot of interesting stuff you can do in the dragon ball universe and this show is a perfect example of how you can make an interesting story that isnt just what if super kept going. revisiting former concepts or like stuff that isnt that isnt "canon"

anyways this was an amazing show

Akiba Maid War Review

this is so peak its insane. literally no complains whatsoever about this show even a little bit (not that i ever actually have complains about 95% of the things i watch) but i think this basically perfectly accomplishes everything it tried to do. you need to watch this if you havent i wont even explain anything just go watch it right now

Battle Skipper (+Detective Debutante Corps) Review

DDC is not nearly interesting or long enough for its own review but basically battle skipper is a slightly longer and sligtly better version of it anyways so ill include it here. check it out of you want just a quick like 30 or 40 minute action comedy ova where a bunch of rich girls are silly

battle skipper advertises it as sharing a director with the slayers anime which is great for me because i like slayers and i like this and these are both funny still not much to say but it is better than ddc. the artsyle and character designs are great

Master Of Mosquiton (1996 OVA) Review

awesome ova if you're looking for a show where Koyasu voices a funny vampire who gets bossed around a lot nd also features of one the most beautiful women ive ever seen of all time ever in this exact moment

unfortunately havent seen the show version of this so i cant speak to how good that might be but if i find a good upload of it i would probably watch it

Variable Geo Review

an anime adaptation of an ecchi fighting game. not really trying to do the same thing like at all but functionally this is kind of like if arcade fighter fubuki was actually good. some pretty good character designs in this and you get to see some beautiful women and and do crazy things so its great in my book
