Spy Classroom has all the makings of a pretty good show, but unfortunately, doesn’t use its spy cast to steal the secret to making a memorable premiere.

The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
The Iceblade Sorcerer might be full of magic, but unfortunately, none of that translates to its shoddy animation nor the cast at large.

ONIMAI: I’m Now Your Sister! – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
Gender antics abound in a show that could have been the opposite of what it is: a fetishistic romp about one sibling forcibly feminizing the other for their own good with no nuance about actual trans experiences to be found.
