Anime Review: Akane-banashi Season 1

When it comes to Shonen anime, we tend to think of big flashy battle anime or sports series. Shows that are about explosions – of energy, of action, of movement. Strings of special attacks or flurries of blows with blasts of energy and impact. Even in comedy and romance, there is a tendency towards the explosive, in reaction and in displays of emotion. Akane-banashi, being a series about Rakugo, instead manages to succeed by eschewing explosive force for more subtle displays.

I’m Living With a Otaku NEET Kunoichi?! – Anime Review

I’m Living With An Otaku NEET Kunoichi?! is a gag anime that aired in the Winter 2025 season, and was the fanservice show I went with this cour. It’s an okay example of its genre, and the jokes generally land fairly well, but the series is not without some issues.

Spy X Family Season 1: Anime Review

Sometimes you get an anime series that is so tremendously charming that there’s basically nothing bad you can say about it except that you want more of that series. Spy X Family (which I verbally call “Spy Family”) fits that criteria.

Spy X Family: Quick Thoughts

Unfortunately, with my current work wrapping up, this has played hell with keeping things caught up on my daily blog posts – so I’m having to grab some ideas more or less off of the cuff. In this case – with my regular anime viewing, I’ve gotten about 3 episodes into one of this new season’s most popular shows – Spy X Family, and I figure it’s worth breaking from my usual tendencies to give my thoughts on the first 3 episodes of the show.
