A gory, gruesome, and gorgeously animated piece that while slow in its start is powerfully emotional. I cried pretty good at the end.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion
An eerie finish (?) to the Madoka series that keeps the curveballs coming. Inu Curry's unsettling abstract animation is back and Yuki Kajiura's soundtrack is phenomenal, but the story can be tricky to follow.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Do you ever have those shows or games that you go through and they just stick with you for like, months? This is one of those.
Moyashimon
A surprisingly educational show about self discovery while staying funny. Definitely more interesting if you know your microbiology.
Angel Beats
Feels very "Anime Kid in High School." Has a lot of great moments, has a lot of cringey moments. I did cry at the end.
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
The pinnacle of well executed and clever stupid comedy. Strongly channels the vibe of if a group of stupid friends got together to play D&D, and one of those idiots is the DM.
Love is Like a Cocktail
With only 3-minute episodes, I'd hoped for more of the content to be about describing/presenting the drinks. There's some slice of life content here, but it feels a bit rushed and shallow.
Mary and the Witch’s Flower
Beautiful visuals and enchanting story, but in the end feels like a less enchanting Ghibli knock-off. If you haven't seen many Ghibli films, watch this first so you can enjoy it.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Beneath the cover of potent anime tropes and boob jokes lies a surprisingly sweet, hilarious, and very heartwarming comedy.
Your Lie in April
If you grew up learning any instrument, or even just surrounded by music, specifically classical, this will be a great piece for you. Deeply emotional and poetic, prepare for the cries (and for some distracting tropes).
