Really missed the Anya school antics last season. Glad we got a bit more before the new arc in this episode. Really looking forward to where the arc is going from here.

Really interested in the end goal here for This Monster Wants to Eat Me. Is it to make Hinato more delicious or truly just to have her recognize the beauty in the world around her? We're going to watch it either way but it'll be something to keep an eye on. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Beautiful wrap-up to this romance anime. No confirmed season 2 yet but it came full circle with this last episode and it could just be left there. Either way, easily one of the top series this season. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Seinen Series with Female Leads — Beyond the Gate Seinen series, for those who don’t remember, are aimed at men (particularly young adults or older). They seem more relatable to adult men, and can feature stronger or more mature themes of violence, s...

Not sure what to expect from anyone next episode. Hikaru is spiraling, Yoshiki is determined to find a solution even though the legends aren't adding up, and Tanaka has been eerily quiet. But whatever happens, it's going to be great.

Trying to ask him out and then saying there "aren't any other good matches" besides the pretty, popular girls is a bizarre interaction. But it's about to be winter break, so who will end up making a move next?

The last episode felt both like a big recap and a great segue for another season in the future. In the meantime, might have to check out the other To Be Hero properties.

And now he's pushing himself to take on a challenge no one else can in order to help everyone else. Kafka's always been looking out for others, even before the Defense Force.

Season 2 of Dandadan might be coming to an end, but Evil Eye is still going strong with murderous intent. Fingers crossed for no cliffhangers at the end of this season. We'll see how it shakes out.

Azusa tries so hard to help nudge her friends in one direction. It doesn't really work, but she gets points for trying. Now, if only Iori could try a bit less, everything might work itself out.

The pieces are starting to come together for Hikaru and Yoshiki. But there's still so much to uncover in a short span of time. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

It's definitely a comfort series

Everyone deserves a cheerleader when life gets hard. Whether it's a pet hanging out by your side or catching up with an old friend, be sure to lean on others when you need it.

When actions aren't working, speak your mind. Great to see Ueno standing his ground on how he feels. It may still take some time, but the gears are moving. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Some more worldbuilding in today's episode. Givers can have all kinds of powers, not just for combat. And sweets are as addicting as drugs. Makes perfect sense if you've got a sweet tooth. 🍰 #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

It's always nice to get some extra background on supporting characters. Furuhashi may feel like a weaker recruit, but his contributions to the force (and his teammates) are still incredibly valid. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Okarun is really out here using his brain over brawn, and you have to respect him for it. Hopefully, he'll be able to keep up with it going forward, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Episode 8 got some slight upgrades in terms of animation. And some slight changes to character dynamics. Will they manage to survive the next round with no more deaths? We'll have to wait and see! #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

The more we see of Nice, the more interesting the first episode of the series becomes. And who will be worthy of standing in the top 10 when everything shakes out?

Monica to the rescue again! Love every time we get to see the magic at work. And it seems the conspiracy to harm the prince is still going strong, so she'll have to watch her back very carefully. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime
