One-Click Animation Quality.

My pick of the week is The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World, and... well, if I ever hoped for something along the lines of that other show with someone picking their stuff off a magical online store, then I was all set up for a solid letdown. It's a pretty dull show whose only entertainment value is looking ridiculously terrible.

And that's that. Next week, someone is getting [i]thirsty[/i]. See you all then.

You Have Been Caught in the Crossfire.

So yeah, my choice of show this week is Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf, and it's... pretty good. It's another isekai, but with dreams instead of videogames, although there certainly are a lot of videogame mechanics in this dreamworld. That being said, this show is generally pleasant and the videogamey mechanics don't really take too much away from it.

And that's that for this week. Next week, the animation is going to be terrible, but that's also going to be the least of the show's problems. It's... not good. Well... see you then.

Mixed Glories Don't Make For The Best Stories.

Allen takes a look at Kase-san and Morning Glories, which he finds... OK? It's sweet enough, but could probably stand to be a bit more than an hour long OAV, especially if we're talking a full relationship here. Still, it's decent enough, so maybe we could hope that it'll inspire a full TV series in the future?

And that's this week's contribution. Next week, we'll be taking a look at a rather strange exchange program. In a sense. See you all then.

Two Strikes. Three, and You're Out!

Allen watches the second season of My Happy Marriage, and finds it a little short on actual marriages. (At least insofar as the couple Allen wants to see married off.) It's still good, though. Shows could do well to feature people who are in an actual relationship starting out at least somewhat early in the show, and many do, so... maybe soon? Still good, though. And maybe that's what matters the most.

That's that, though. Next week, we're... going flowergazing? I think? Surely, titles do not lie, right? See you then.

Those Were the Days.

Allen takes a look at Sakamoto Days, and finds it pretty entertaining, but more importantly, fun. Which is certainly something to be said about a show centered around assassins.

And that's our lot once again. Not sure what will happen next week, it is one of the days of easter after all.

Three is a Magic Number.

So, who's been missing the good ol' classic love triangle drama? Well, Allen's here to give you a... uh, rather mediocre show that he doesn't really recommend all that much. Blue Box is simply not very good, and should probably remain unwatched unless you're really starving for some new love triangle drama.

At least things will improve next week, except maybe for the main character in that escapade. See you all then.
