May 2022: Best in Class

The Quintessential Quintuplets movie cements the series at the greatest harem anime of all time. All it took was a harem with five legitimate contenders and a male lead who wasn’t a spineless pushover. (Post forthcoming on why Fuutarou made […]

April 2022: Wholesome

Ever notice how My Dress-Up Darling (Sono Bique Doll wa Koi wo Suru) was the most wholesome anime ever? I didn’t either. Except for the blackface, that was totally wholesome. The guy who married the Princess of Japan failed the […]

July 2021: Throwback

Higurashi’s back with a vengeance, literally. Answer arcs are moving quickly at only 3 episodes each, so it’s your lucky month—you’re getting one video for Oniakashi-hen and another one for Wataakashi-hen. Tanya the Evil may be a fascist, but her […]

If you’re looking to punch your ticket to Japan and don’t mind being poor, you may want to consider working for Interac. For all their faults, they’re still a million times better than AEON. My first Aria post in 13 […]

February 2021: Diplomacy

Higurashi Gou finally branches off into 100% original territory with Nekodamashi-hen, giving Rika tons of new and creative ways to get slaughtered. I must confess, I only realized in the middle of making my video on Railgun T that the […]

January 2021: The Great Reset

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first console game I’ve played in five years. Halfway through the game, it feels like a combination of the most boring parts of Shadow of the Colossus and the most boring […]
