A wholesome, feel-good, low-stress adorable piece that channels the essence of teenage summer.
My Dress-Up Darling
An excellently executed delight with fantastic characters, warm fuzzies, and a fascinating dive into the cosplay hobby.
Crossing Time
A super short vignette series of interactions waiting at the Railroad crossing. Nothing special, but it beats doom-scrolling reddit/twitter for an hour at least.
Komi Can’t Communicate (Season 1)
Cute and fun, but nothing too groundbreaking. Certainly has some great moments.
How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?
A surprisingly funny, smart, and effective "edutainment" piece to get you excited about hitting the gym.
Somali and the Forest Spirit
A beautiful, heart wrenching and heartwarming adventure in a gorgeous fantasy world. With rich world building, heavy topic exploration, and my kryptonite: the "Learn to be Human" trope. Get tissues.
Eromanga Sensei
A weeby, trashy, ecchi-themed siscon/lolicon show that’s actually good? Good animation, directing, and interesting dialogue for a terribly creepy fanservice plot. I’m still confused.
Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro! (Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san!)
The fun “tease you because I’m too shy to admit I have a crush on you” dynamic from Takagi-san, but in High school and a bit more sadistic and frisky.
Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls
A fun, tropey, sexy, harem of monster girls that’s got great moments. It does get a little sweaty at the end, but still a great time.
Aggretsuko (Season 3)
Aggretsuko continues doing what it does so well, even if the gap moe is turned down a bit.
