Ajin – 14

By Guardian Enzo October 14, 2016

「なんかめんどくさくなってきた」 (Nanka Mendokusakunatte Kita)
"Things Have Become Difficult"

Either the CGI has gotten a little better since the first season or I’ve gotten used to it, because I hardly noticed it.

「とまどいフルート」 (Tomadoi Furuuto)
"Hesitation Flute"

It's a pool episode! Except it's not your typical pool episode, because it's all about band drama.

「羽ばたけチドリ」 (Habatake Chidori)
"Take Flight, Chidori"

I was expecting a few things this week. That shocker with Takami sure wasn't one of them.

「瘯心の渦中で」 (Shishin no Kachuu de)
"The the Midst of Jealousy"

The foundations for a long-term plot are being put in place, but the short-term rewards are limited.

「たのしい創作」 (Tanoshii Sousaku)
"Game-Making Is Fun"

Another episode full of quirky gags and just the right amount of poking at all of our hidden inner tendencies. What more could you want?

Girlish Number – 01

By Samu October 11, 2016

「やさぐれ千歳と腐った業界」 (Yasagure Chitose to Kusatta Gyoukai)
"The Apathetic Chitose and the Rotten Industry"

Girlish Number is the bleak, cynical version of SHIROBAKO. It's an anime about an aspiring seiyuu that shits on light novel adaptations, pokes fun at otaku, and reminds us how messed up this industry is. I never expected to be one of the more thought-provoking shows this season.
