Allen watched Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos: The Movie, and... well, he wasn't any more impressed with it than Tim was the original TV series (back when we synchroed it.) Well... maybe a little bit more impressed, as he ranked it one more than Tim (we) did. Given that the original manga was a bit on the odd side (though certainly progressive in some aspects for its time... maybe), it possibly never really had a chance.

And that's that. See you again next week.

I don't really know what I was expecting, but Chillin' in Another World With Level 2 Super Cheat Powers is not very good. The lure of Kugimiya might be strong, but clearly it wasn't enough to save this one. I am honestly curious whether star power is used to save an anime in the same manner than western movies tend to do sometimes, although with the level (ha!) that Isekai tends to be unleashed in Japan, maybe I'm just overthinking it. But yeah, this is as generic and self-indulgent as they come, so I would really not bother recommending this.

And that's that for this week. See you again next Monday.

Allen isn't really all that impressed with The Deer King, mostly because as much as movies and series are encouraged to "show, not tell", he thinks the movie should at least tell him something.

And that's that for this week. Next Monday, we might walk one well-trodden path again. See you all then.

Allen gives When Will Ayumu Make His Move?, and is puzzled as to why the creator of the venerable and very fun Teasing Master Takagi-san would resort to being so stereotypically traditional with its romantic setup. He's not completely apalled by it, but given that its creator made such a breakout hit with the latter, just playing this genre by the book takes some of the enjoyment out of it.

With the rating ending up smack dab in the middle, will next week be better or worse? Place your bets and see you again next week.

Well, Allen gave Dark Gathering a go, and yikes... it's good, but "dark" isn't even beginning to describe how unsettling this show can get.... as good horror shows are supposed to.

And that's that. Next week is up in the air, which... uh, is better than being gathered up in the dark, I guess.

-Stig Høgset.

So, uh... yeah, Allen takes a look at The Imaginary, and... he likes it. I guess a murder mystery with imaginary people who are somehow real is quite a treat.

And that's our Monday lot. Next week, someone shall serve as a distraction while the others make their escape. I'm sure that'll go over great. See you all then.
