Review: Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu

I’m just going to come right out and say it. My Fridays are going to be a lot more depressing now that Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (ひとりぼっちの○○生活) has finished airing. It was always one of the highlights for Friday anime, especially after a particularly sad episode of Fruits Basket (2019) (and you better believe I…

Review: Your Lie in April

This month, as it is April, I decided to take part of a rewatch for the anime Your Lie in April (四月は君の嘘). For anyone who is unfamiliar with the /r/anime subreddit on Reddit (or for any who simply don’t frequent it), they do regular rewatches of anime. It’s essentially a way for a bunch of…

Review: High Score Girl

I’m someone who often gets a ticket and boards the Hype Train. I’m not even a casual rider of the Hype Train. I would save money with an annual pass. And one of my favorite Hype Train destinations is the express ride to Nostalgia Town. High Score Girl can be found on the Nostalgia Town…
