Anyhow, check ’em out and let me know your thoughts down in the comments!

Fall 2018 – Week 10

Irodoku - Hitomi's Mother

It’s interesting how many of my featured screenshots this season have come from either Iroduku or Tsurune…  Probably because both shows keep leaving a deep impression each week.

Fall 2018 – Week 5/6 & Midseason review

Tsurune - Teamwork - Episode 4
Well, on top of having a bit of writer’s block, last week was also my birthday…  and I wasn’t going to push myself and struggle to get something out on my birthday.  And then of course, the writer’s block persisted into this week.

So, this entry covers two weeks and is once again in the “grumpy old man goes for speed” mode…  Sumimasen!

So, hit the jump and let’s run down the past two weeks and my mid-season thoughts on each shows.  Any guesses as to which ones get dropped?
