Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Review

April 17, 2022November 14, 2022 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 3 Comments

"The animanga realm doesn't have the most stellar standards for male protagonists in male demographic romance stories. I get that - but that doesn't make Gojo good."

Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta Season 2 Review

October 23, 2021October 23, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 1 Comment

"The themes of Season 2 - of privilege, of perspective imbued from upbringing and being a good person despite - are really well handled, it's just annoying that lame plot beats like kidnapping have to move them along."

Kimi ni Todoke Review

May 3, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 9 Comments

"Kimi ni Todoke makes its whole raison d'etre putting a bit more depth into every aspect of the banal anime rom-com genre tropes"

Horimiya Review

April 18, 2021April 18, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 5 Comments

"what happens from dating onwards is a dragging-out event, giving us a series of disconnected skits linked to side character romances with no hook pulling you in. It's not good."

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru (Season 1-3) Review

January 31, 2021October 14, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 3 Comments

"Not only is Hachiman frustratingly relatable and downright hilarious, but his problem solving-style is... fascinating"

Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai Review

January 15, 2021January 31, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 2 Comments

"Sure, I love Ai's optimistic energy, and I love the few moments where Setsuna goes off all otakuy (hard relate, girl), but Yuu's go-get-'em attitude and clear communication is what I wanted to see the most of. How often do I get to say that about a protagonist? Not often."

Adachi to Shimamura Review

December 26, 2020May 3, 2021 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 5 Comments

"The monologues, that dominate episodes, are equal parts intimate and hilarious"

Fall 2020: misplaced quirkiness, or Taisou Zamurai versus Adachi to Shimamura

November 7, 2020November 7, 2020 ~ SpaceWhales ~ Leave a comment

'It's a pity both shows are making such odd decisions in the sidelines, because both shows raison d'etre is so well handled"

Adachi to Shimamura Episode 1 Review

October 8, 2020October 8, 2020 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 1 Comment

"Adachi to Shimamura brings to the table an exciting gradual romanticism and even appropriate avant garde direction choices"

Fragtime Review

August 1, 2020August 3, 2020 ~ SpaceWhales ~ 1 Comment

"It's in the carefully handled tone where Fragtime finds its success"
