A series about a woman and her alien colleague. Takes an ordinary, almost slice-of-life approach. Well-written, deadpan and amusing.

Nothing spectacular but still a well-produced and fun show. It strikes the balance between having an overall arc and being episodic.

Cool designs but mediocre animation. Crude plotting and the lack of thought in the writing make it unconvincing and boring if not annoying.

A Japanese paper by K. Yamamoto titled “ Need for validation of vaccination programs ” published on 14 March 2025 is a brief commentary...

LotR but with katanas, our hero using the most special blade to retrieve the others. Simple but interesting enough mythology. Good start.

Ghost in the form of J-drama. A bit slow initially. Not bad writing but the execution is B-grade-ish.

High school slice-of-life romance drama with time travel. Not a particularly original premise but still decent production and execution.

Gotouge’s early work is intriguing. As expected, the art is not as refined but the storytelling is generally not bad.

Short 6-episode teen romance drama. Relatively simple and predictable but nonetheless satisfying enough for what it is.

Comedy of a shy guitarist who joins a band and struggles with anxiety. Absurd delivery. Lacks musician jokes but entertaining and relatable.

Continuation of the same. Visually slick still. You either like it or you don’t.

Interesting premise. A few chuckles but the plot, themes and humor lack depth.

There has been quite a bit of talk for the past year or so regarding self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) vaccines. As usual, there are some...

A nicely produced spin-off that tells the same story from the perspective of two young private investigators Rena and Sato.

Intriguing crime-mystery as a 41-year-old walrus taxi driver tries to unburden himself of the consequences of a missing high school girl.

Brave premise with a lone grieving turtle on his quest for retribution. Generally well-written. Good pacing. Dark. Captivating.

Slice-of-life comedy about a young woman and her giant cat who takes care of her. Series lacks an arc but amusing. Good production.

Based on the 1999 short film, a wholesome slice-of-life manga about a young woman from the perspective of her loving cat.

Whilst nothing particularly special, it is overall a solid slice-of-life anime about a young woman’s struggles and her loyal cat.

Lack of hockey action or any appreciation for it. Doesn’t work as a slice-of-life anime either. Lost opportunity.

Solid coming-of-age, slice-of-life romance. Can argue about plotting and pacing but it is emotionally realistic.
