Blade Runner: Black Lotus – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
Blade Runner: Black Lotus offers up a gorgeous premiere that has a somewhat go-nowhere premiere filled with tidbits that built the world, but don’t feel compelling.

SHIKIZAKURA – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
If you’re in the mood for a very safe, very standard, CGI shonen anime that tackles every trope in the genre, than look no further than SHIKIZAKURA, a show with the potential for potential… I think.

VISUAL PRISON – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
Embrace the darkness, entities of the night: Visual Prison is all fangs, a few bites, and loads of visual-kei idol boys, all mashed together into a premiere that certainly has appeal, but definitely not in the plot department.

Review: Dragon Goes House-Hunting (ANN)
It’s like if Ebby Halliday got isekai’d into Dragon Quest (or maybe, since I’ve never played Dragon Quest, Etrian Odyssey, which is much more my speed).

Review: Koikimo (ANN)
I’m not saying that there is a problem with watching the show and liking it. I think there is a difference between liking a show and condoning what it represents: you can like something and still have your own, informed opinion. At the end of the day, this just wasn’t a series for me, and my opinion certainly isn’t the end all be all: media is subjective, problematic faves exist, and if this is yours, it’s neither my place nor my intent to judge you for it.

Pretty Boy Detective Club – Episode 1 — Anime Feminist
I might not be a boy and I might not be a detective, but I’m pretty and I’m on the case, and I’m here to say that Pretty Boy Detective Club is a stunning show, if this kind of Nishioishin story is your thing.
