  • More on the The Great Passage

    —

    I already wrote a few thoughts on the anime adaptation of The Great Passage, based on having watched only the first episode. There are three episodes out now, and my interest and love for this series has done nothing but grow. I especially enjoy discovering all of the work and process that goes behind the…

  • Ping-Pong Club

    ,

    Along with the new anime I’m watching, as with Macross and Queen Millennia, I’ve been diving into some old stuff as well, and that includes Ping-Pong Club. I’d watched some of it years ago (and read some of the manga), and have always loved the craziness of it. It’s a comedy series set within a…

  • The Great Passage

    The last of the new fall season shows I wanted to check out is The Great Passage (Fune wo Amu). As I had written, I didn’t know much about this one other than the setting, which is of a publishing company that produces dictionaries, following a new hire. It really does come off as a…

  • Ajin Season 2

    —

    Continuing with the shows that I’m checking out for this fall season of anime (as mentioned in this post), I was very happy to see the start of the second season of Ajin. Nothing much to report other than it’s still very good, continues the story of the manga, and I’m very much looking forward…

  • The Super Dimension Fortress Macross

    I recently noticed that the Robotech series from the 80s was added to Netflix (in Canada), and so I thought I’d start watching it. I have memories of really liking the series back when I was kid, but also that I had barely watched any of it, probably because it was only available on cable,…

  • Queen Millennia

    —

    This is an old Leiji Matsumoto series from the 80s that I somehow had never heard of, despite the fact that in the US it had been released alongside the 70s Captain Harlock series, which is one of my favorite series of all time (albeit I watched it in its French incarnation, as Albator). I’ve…

  • Mob Psycho 100

    —

    This show is batshit insane. It aired this past summer in Japan, but I just came across it now. I watched the first episode the other day, and I do plan on watching the rest. The basic premise is that the main character (“Mob”) has psychic powers, and is being used by another character (who…

  • Izetta: The Last Witch

    —

    This is a series that just started this month, but that I hadn’t included in my list of shows I wanted to watch. I’ve seen the first 2 episodes that have aired so far, and although I’m not absolutely sold on it yet, I do quite like it. It’s set in an alternate WW2-like history (bordering…
