This one’s about 2 weeks late at this point, but better late than never – especially as I was no slouch this season, having watched a decent (for me, anyway) 9 new shows, the majority of which weren’t sequels. Without further ado since I’m already late enough, my anime taste testing roundup for winter 2026, each in 3 sentences or less. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Everything Winter Anime 2026”
Anime Taste Testing: Everything Fall Anime 2025
I disappeared last season due to sudden travel reasons and found it a genuinely intimidating job catching up to roughly a month’s worth of anime. Mostly, I solved it by not bothering, or at least not writing about it if I did, so I’m not sad to say that it looks like it’s going to be a very quiet fall 2025 anime season this time around. Without further ado, my first impressions of everything I tried out, each in 3 sentences or less.

Anime Taste Testing: Everything Summer Anime 2025 (Part 1)
A perhaps surprising number of anime I was willing to try out this season, although whether it’s a quantity vs. quality situation remains to be seen. Here are my pretty unfiltered thoughts for everything I’ve seen so far, in 3 sentences or less (with a Part 2 most likely to come within the next couple of weeks).

Anime Taste Testing: Everything Spring Anime 2025
After a painfully slow winter 2025 anime season, the new season’s offerings come as a breath of fresh air – even if nothing’s quite wowed me just yet. Without further ado, enjoy my 3-sentences-or-less takes on all the first episodes I’ve watched so far. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Everything Spring Anime 2025”
Anime Taste Testing: Everything Winter Anime 2025
You guys, this season is killing me. Luckily, I have a couple of solid sequels (My Happy Marriage, Apothecary Diaries) to help tide me over, but please (please) feel free to recommend anything you feel I may have missed that’s secretly good. In the meantime, here are my first-look reviews in 3 sentences or less. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Everything Winter Anime 2025”
Anime Taste Testing: Everything Fall Anime 2024 (Part I)
Reception last season seemed fairly positive for my “rate this new anime premiere in 3 sentences or less” version of reviews, so I decided to carry on with the same for fall 2024. Since I was a bit late watching a lot of these, this post comprises almost every show that was on my original to-watch list for this season – the only exception being Blue Wolves of Mibu, which isn’t set to air until the 19th. Enjoy! Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Everything Fall Anime 2024 (Part I)”
Anime Taste Testing: Everything Summer Anime 2024 (Part II)
Aaand we’re back with the second part of my previous post, where I attempted to summarize every new anime from the summer 2024 season I’d watched thus far in 3 sentences or less. I’m really glad people seemed to enjoy the format – it’s something I may well continue moving forward (perhaps with intermittent full reviews for titles that I stick with and/or feel like it’s completely impossible to sum up my thoughts on in such a short length).
This will most likely be my only other premieres post for this anime season. I do have two other shows I plan on checking out (Kimi ni Todoke season 3 and Delico’s Nursery), but both of those aren’t being released until August, so unless they’re absolutely amazing or completely bomb, I probably won’t bother to write up anything. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Everything Summer Anime 2024 (Part II)”
Anime Taste Testing: Everything Summer Anime 2024 (Part I)
Hi guys. I was too busy this season to do my usual ‘anime taste testing’ first-look reviews (like “going to bed after finally finishing work at 2am” kind of busy), but I also didn’t want to completely miss out on blogging. So, for the Summer 2024 lineup, I’m challenging myself (while simultaneously giving myself a break) by writing all my reviews in 3 sentences or less. Enjoy!

Anime Taste Testing: Black Butler Public School Arc and Yatagarasu – The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master
And so endeth my first impressions for the spring 2024 anime season on a fairly lackluster note. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Black Butler Public School Arc and Yatagarasu – The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master”
Anime Taste Testing: Oblivion Battery and Viral Hit
Nearing the end of the premiere list now. The adage “saving the best til last” does not apply when it comes to seasonal anime releases. Continue reading “Anime Taste Testing: Oblivion Battery and Viral Hit”
