Saijaku Tamer and Shangri-la finales
Happy ending. Let’s wrap up the two finales I didn’t cover yet. First: Saijaku Tamer. And nothing much happens. The bad guys were caught last episode, and this…
Frieren and Renren finales, Shangri-la 24, Tamer 11
I was surprised when I heard Sousou no Frieren 28 was the last episode, but then they dropped three episodes in the first week, so it balances out.…
Shangri-la 22-23, Renren 10-11, Tamer 10, Frieren 27
Episode 22’s monster. In Shangri-la Frontier 22, Sunraku’s quest to level up Bilac so she can fix the, er, thing, so they can use the super-armor in the…
Shangri-la 21, Renren and Tamer 9, Frieren 26

Tamer 7-8, Shangri-la 20, Renren 8, Frieren 25
Ivy makes herself useful again. With Saijaku Tamer we’re still waiting for the pieces to come together. We mostly see it through Ivy’s eyes, and she can’t see…
Frieren 23, Shangri-la 18, Pii-chan and Renren 7, and Frieren 24!
Put Frieren in a dungeon and … The test in Sousou no Frieren 23 seems more traditional. Basically, everyone has to get to the bottom of the King’s…
Sasaki and Peeps, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, A Sign of Affection
Frieren 22, and 6 for the rest
A well-deserved feast after the first exam. Sousou no Frieren 22 is not particularly eventful even for a series where small acts and words can stand in for…
Sasaki and Peeps, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, A Sign of Affection
Tamer 4-5, Shangri-la, Pii-chan and Renren 5
Do RPG-players have this sort of trouble? Saijaku Tamer 4 has little in the way of moving the story forward, apart from Ivy getting closer to the town…
Catching up: Frieren, Shangri-la, pii-chan, Renren, and back to Frieren.
Those birds have a good sense of humor. Still catching up, I look at Sousou no Frieren 19 and 20, and it ends on a cliffhanger. They’re still…
More 2-3s: Dosanko Gal, Kyuujitsu, Saijaku Tamer
In front of his grouchy grandma. Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi is on my “possibly drop” list, but episode 2 brought fourth something I had hoped for, that…
Catching up with Frieren, Shangri-la, Pii-chan and Renren
Back to the continuing shows. Glad to say Sousou no Frieren, apart from a new OP and ED, hasn’t changed. We start where we left off, with Sein…

Though there will be more in a second season, S-rank Musume ends with no additional demon lords slain, no answers about Ange’s past or that little thing that…
Episode twelves, a week late!
Sorry about that. Busy at work, a little sick, and the holidays doncha know. Sousou no Frieren 15 is a two parter. In the first one the team…
A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

8-9s: Shangri-la, Watashi no Oshi, Toaru Ossan, 16bit, Potion, S-rank,
Shangri-la Frontier 8 starts with a terrific action scene that has little but Sunraku running around and dodging attacks, which sounds dull, but the animators put so much…
7s, 8s, an 11: Watashi no Oshi, 16bit, Toaru Ossan, Potion, S-rank, Frieren
Seeing Claire in drag makes me understand why Rae is so obsessed. Last episode Watashi no Oshi etc, had that foreboding bit at the end about how the…

6-7’s and a 10, Toaru Ossan, 16bit, Potion, S-rank, Frieren, Shangri-la

I Shall Survive Using Potions!, A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life
Various early 16bit, Potion, S-rank, Frieren, Shangri-la, and SHY
Farther and farther behind I fall … I often find Konoha’s voice grating, and the declarations of passion slow things down, but I’m still enjoying 16bit Sensation. Part…

2-3s: S-rank, Frieren, Shangri-la, Shy, Watashi no Oshi, Toaru Ossan

Yumemiru Danshi finale, Chiisai Senpai, Nanatsu no Makuen, and Level 1 Dakedo 11s.

4’s: Yumemiru, Nanatsu, Level1, Zom100
