    Shoshimin 1-10 I was enjoying this show ok enough for the first few episodes, like a more bland Hyouka but pleasant enough. the last couple of episodes however really shook things up and took things in unexpected directions, my jaw was on the floor for some of it and I'm dying to see what...

    Monogatari pt 3 Nadeko Snake - again, much shorter than I remembered. the OP is one of the anime national anthems! Tsubasa Cat - completely forgot about the episode, and when I watched this show over a decade ago I don't think the ED lyrics were translated .

    Monogatari speedrun pt2 Hitagi Crab - could have sworn this was 4 episodes long but turned out to be a relatively snappy 2. this sort of time dilation happens to me a lot when rewatching anime, memory is such a liar. anyway great start to the show, subverting harem tropes by immediately giving...

    Angel Cop 1-6 well this was ... something. went from an enjoyably silly romp that went at 100 miles an hour with all sorts of fun characters and explosions to a bizarre antisemitic wingnut rant about how the Jews have taken over America and Japan is next. what the hell.
