Ah yes, Mayu. Mayu really makes this whole scenario harder to swallow. Every time she talks to Kumiko, especially close to an audition, my mind goes back to Hikaru no Go. Namely, the match between...

I agree. To add to that, objectively Taki is probably feeling a bit anxious and hasty. At the beginning of his term, Kitauji as a team had many problems and the average quality of applicants is...

And our Angst Show gets Angstier than ever.
First, let's talk about Kanade. I'm not shocked because the show has always portrayed her as playing third fiddle. Not to diminish her because the show...

I'd see how it rolls but right now I'm not sure if I like it so much or find his reasons that convincing. I get his idea as a conductor, but as a band director or a school teacher, it kind of sucks....

Ultimately I'm not here to pick a fight - you will notice I had nothing but praise for this part of das Finale (in fact I don't think I have any major complaints for the entire run). I really don't...

The skills of the animation and choreographing teams are getting better and better. Though both are supposed to be "film (as opposed to midnight anime) level", we've gone a long way from stationary...

Well, by now this flow of events is no longer a surprise. Every viewer is yawning and asking for "The Reveal" anyway. It's almost a credit to the story that it acknowledges how worn its premise has...

I like how this show doesn't pull its punches either way (at least to the extent allowed in a TV anime). The humans show their cruelty in Episode 1, and Episode 2-3 becomes a killfest that explains...

I don't know why - but I have to hand it to the anime staff for squeezing out some amusement from this weak, worn plot - I looked up the web novel and frankly ... let's just say I'm not buying the LN.

For some reason, this show is actually more watchable than Smartphone (which I confirm I can't stand), even though those two girls arguably have less personality than even Smartphone man's harem.

Look, what did you expect. Ending it at the invasion was the clear point for termination. As it is, the show ended up around 1.5 light novels in, much under the usual rate of 3-4 light novels in a...

I actually do agree that the drama is a bit forced this time. Yes, a monarchy is not exactly a depotism. The monarchial family can't just kill adverse nobles without some major failing on their part,...
