Anime Series Ratings

Nine-Tailed Fox Anime Series Ratings These are all the series I have watched and the scores I gave them.  Link to my review is provided, if I made one for the show. I only rate anime series that I have watched in their entirety that season.  Usually I binge the series when the season is complete to get the full impact. My ratings system is based on how pleased my brain is with the viewing experience.  There is a lot of anime out there to watch and much of it is terribly forgettab

Review: By the Grace of the Gods (Non-Spoilery)   Season Aired: Fall 2020 - 12 episodes MAL Link: By the Grace of the Gods I watched it at: Funimation   Review: Sometimes anime series are just ephemeral clouds that pass through my eyes and out the back of my head.  I watched all twelve episodes of this show just a couple days ago and already I am hard-pressed to remember much about it.

Review: Adachi and Shimamura (Non-Spoilery)   Season Aired: Fall 2020 - 12 episodes MAL Link: Adachi and Shimamura I watched it at: Funimation   Review: This is a Yuri anime.  Yuri is a Japanese jargon term for characters, themes, content and a genre involving lesbian relationships or female homoeroticism. In this case, looking at it from the puppy-love angle. Adachi and Shimamura is like if somebody looked at the yuri trash-fire that was C

Part 7: Talk Dirty To Me

Part 7 --Back in the alleyway outside the Grand Arena, Verse City. The alleyway had been quiet for sometime after the scuffle. The usual sounds of hustle and bustle returned to fill the streets. Normal life in Verse City once again. But life in Verse City was far from normal. ______________________ HONK HONK!

s12e01. My Next Guest...

"Greetings. I am Space Ghost. Welcome to my show." The empty studio echoed his voice. The silence was deafening. After several seconds, Space Ghost let out a frustrated sigh and faded onto the chair behind his desk. The long forgotten one time cosmic hero turned talk show host, Space Ghost, began his show like he always did: "My first guest tonight is--"  Zorak, his former enemy turned co-host, screeched, "You don't have any guests." Space Ghost looked at him without say

Part 6: Them Bones

Part 6   --Alleyway Outside the Grand Arena, Verse City. Our blood-soaked Hero of Gallowmere swung his mighty sword, cutting off the head of the Meat-monster-man. It gave a blood-curdling screech as it’s head flew into the air and splattered onto the ground. Well done, Sir Daniel! The creature’s body went limp for a moment, then ejected another head from it’s neck. “Uhhh oh!” (Uh oh!) Daniel mumbled. It seems he’s not yet vanquished. No time to waste, Fortesque

Part 5: Super Shrek Party

Part 5 -- Inside Henchmen Tryouts Gym. Shrek couldn’t believe it, but somehow he managed to stagger Bowser. One last punch to the big oaf's snout was enough to send him backwards into the wrestling ring ropes and rebound to the mat. The crowd, full of wannabe henchmen, had finally turned against him and cheered ‘Ogre! Ogre! Ogre!’. Their excitement was palpable. Shrek could feel their energy and it made the pain in his knuckles and face lessen. He roared to the crowd, feeding off

Review: Infinite Dendrogram

Review: Infinite Dendrogram (Non-Spoilery)   Season Aired: Winter 2020 - 13 episodes MAL Link: Infinite Dendrogram I watched it at: Funimation   Review: Anime shows that are about living in a fantasy game world are somewhat common.

Review: Goblin Slayer (Non-Spoilery) Season Aired: Fall 2018 - 12 episodes MAL Link: Goblin Slayer I watched it at: Funimation   Review: In fantasy games, goblins are often a low level monster that present an early challenge to players, but are rarely seen again beyond the very early game.   They are good for some early experience, but players typically have no interest in goblins once better options are available. I mean, I personally don't certainly

That's all good. What's not so clear is if
