Reviews and editorials celebrating amazing moments in anime.
I’ve taken the opportunity presented by the recent announcement of Crunchyroll’s and Funimation’s partnership to streamline how I blog about the seasons.

That’s probably overdue, anyway, given how I recently reviewed Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, […]
