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.

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.

Allen takes on Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, a show that does something a bit rare; cover the lives of people who did not get together with the targets of their affections. And it's fantastic -- the show, that is, not that the girls in here didn't win the big love game, but it's a hugely sympathetic show altogether. I'm certainly not one to argue, as we're in the middle of synchroing this one.

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

Well, looks like we don't have anything this week. Allen's been off and I've had pretty much almost all of my weekends eaten up by social obligations. But that's life for you.

We'll try again next week. See you all then.

Allen takes on Ultramarine Magmell and finds it catastrophically terrible. Still not a good record for Manhua, supposedly.

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

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.
