clevatess s2: complete maybe even better than s1? some of the sharpest, most inventive fantasy we've seen in god knows how many years. don't skip this one

many people don't let voice lines play all the way out when playing vns, and that's fine you do you however i do think it's important to understand that if you skip it when the voice actor is doing something like this you will not pass through the gates of heaven

fall 26, premiere #2: my exposure to korean webnovels is limited entirely to the handful of anime that have been made adapting them, but I have to assume all of their protags looking like mr solo leveling is not representative of the medium as a whole

480

translator of the highest-rated game of all time @yukinogatari.moe · 27/09/2026

sparks of tomorrow: complete funny, wild, utterly deranged. narratively it's quite simple, but the metatextual message about human artistry and not succumbing to the brain-melting robots in your computer, delivered in a distinctly human and outrageously creative package, is delightful

grow up show: complete it's fucked up because in isolation, I liked the ending a lot. but holy SHIT did we not land here naturally. the first five-ish episodes were decently fun, then it veered off a fucking cliff for no good reason only to re-emerge at the end like nothing happened

fall 26, premiere #1: would it really be an anime season if the first show up to the plate *wasn't* a janky video game narou adaptation? a sequel this time, but tradition must be upheld

tensura s4 (part 1): complete I go back and forth on how I feel about slime. hours upon hours of meetings and paperwork and reading you endless rulebooks--it often feels like watching paint dry. yet on the few occasions it chooses to step out of the office, it still manages to hit like a truck

mebius dust: complete a series trapped between funny superpower playground games and finding community/a sense of self after society decides at a young age that you're not worth bothering with. it clearly has things it wants to say, it's just... lacking in focus and not very well articulated

ossan swordsman whomst has way too many students s2: complete perfectly fine. as usual, the primary draw is the CG action scenes, though there wasn't anything quite as outrageously impressive as in s1

hello I'm back I would like to take this opportunity to very solemnly and very sincerely apologize for saying I would not allow people to watch a Harry Potter TV show unless they killed I thought it was a funny joke but as the mods point out HP fans cannot be trusted to not kill for their content

tai-ari: complete while I wasn't super hot on the first couple episodes, it quickly came into its own and evolved into one of the biggest surprises of the season. had an absolute blast watching it week-to-week welcome to the pantheon of deranged saki-likes, you fucked-up fighting game freaks
