Let's Go Karaoke! Anime Series Review
I’m just amazed by how much you could squeeze out of this bizarre premise.
― Let's Go Karaoke! is a series that succeeds in making the unbelievable believable. It's a comedy at heart, yet the bond between its two unlikely leads makes for melodrama that's both kitschy and effective. Who'd'a thunk that the best way to overcome your musical failures and teen angst was by teaching a yakuza member how to ...

That said, for as much as I absolutely adore Bloober Team's re...
A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 Anime Series Review
It’s a colorful, comforting anime that requires minimal brain power to consume.
― For me, A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 is like “Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Anime.” I enjoyed the far-fetched and dumb, but sweet, twenty-four-episode first season, and found myself sleepwalking into the second out of a misplaced sense of duty. Like many long-running anime romcoms, the “plot progression,” if one could even des...
