Making The Worst Of It.
Allen gives Her Blue Sky a chance and finds it... less than great. Considering the fact that this show was, at least partially, made by the one responsible for Ano Hana, I can understand that.
And that's that. Next week, we'll be sizing up another show. See you all then.

Well, Well, Well....
Allen thought that maybe third time's the charm as he dives into the third season of Kimi Ni Todoke, and finds it... quite tolerable. It's also 13 years since the last season, so shouldn't these kids be in their thirties now? Or late twenties at the very least? Logic, eh?
Anyway, that's our lot for this Monday. Next week, we'll, uh... have it both ways or something? Heck if I know. Let's just wait and see.

Looking Back With Your Eyes In Front.
Tim went to the theater to watch Look Back, and found it a refreshingly candid look at one's passions and how they influence people. It's a bit on the short side for a movie, but what's there is still great.
And that's that for this week. Next week, we'll be moving on with a (relatively) old love story. See you then.

Train Wreck of the Century.
Tim drops by this week to give us his thoughts on Train to the End of the World, and.... man, he really hated it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, seeing as we didn't even last through the whole thing when we MSTed it.
And that's this week good and wrecked. At least we can look forward to next Monday, right? That was the direction we wanted to look, right? I'm sure, so see you all then.

A Reviewer's Dilemma: How Low Should You Go?
So I honestly didn't have much of a hope for this one, and evidently, that was the correct gut feeling this time. An Archdemon's Dilemma: How To Love Your Elf Bride just comes across as a show that wants its cake and eat it too. The smart-alecky tone of almost the entire thing is honestly a bit insufferable, and while the romance can be sweet at times, it also introduces the viewers to some rather baffling choices from time to time. I have been positively surprised by shows before, but in the end, this turned out not to be one of those times. Oh well....
And if you thought that was bad, then buckle up, because next week we're gonna get on that train, and it's not going to be a smooth ride. At all. See you all then.

Rice and Redemption.
Allen takes a look at the anime Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and finds it a little middle of the road. He basically finds the human cast a little lacking. Maybe they were just side quests in the game, I dunno.
And that's that. See you next Monday for the next arch(ing) plot.
