A 12-episode slice-of-life series of three-minute vignettes. The writing can be better, but it’s not that bad if one doesn’t mind risking half an hour.

Boy and his mother in an online fantasy game. Crude but not as superficial as one may expect. Fails to reach its potential as both the comedy and themes can go further. But motherhood is lifted up and celebrated.

Plotting is a little clumsy in parts but still a sufficiently intriguing and captivating psychological horror. Solidly produced. Mostly looks good.

Nice artwork. Simple and crude storytelling, but it’s not bad for what it is.

Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February...

Good production and performances. Not bad and I want to like it more, but the writing is just not quite right.

Young woman learns of best friend’s suicide from years of abuse. She then steals her ashes to give her a proper send-off. Tight, good pacing. Solid effort. Nicely drawn.

This series follows five-year-old Yotsuba and her father as they settle into their new home. Simple and innocent slice-of-life comedy. Nicely drawn.

Not the worst ever but unfocused and clumsy plotting and pacing with too many conveniences.

Typical coming-of-age children’s story. Two annoying leads but the premise and plot are simple and work well enough. It’s short so it’s over quickly either way.

Given President Trump’s recent executive order regarding the Department of Education, this is a good time to revisit some history.

Solid production but the plot is uneventful. Autopilot pacing. Relies on performance to carry the series.

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.

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.

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