Back again! Here’s the second half of what I reviewed this season. Some unexpected gems and also the worst the season has to offer.
As always, one line summaries are also linked to my longer reviews.

Vrai Watches Kill la Kill (Part 4)
I made it to the end, for better and worse. The short version? This is a real case of diamonds encased in shit, Ryumako is a good and canonical ship, the StuCo are cute kids, and if anyone tries to talk to me about this series in future without me bringing it up first I will melt them with fucking lasers, because this show has the most intolerable fanbase since Madoka and Evangelion.
Trash & Treasures: Executioners from Shaolin
This film is the epic, multi-generational tale of uncovering how exactly to punch a murderer in the dick. And in the end, the day is saved by wig-snatching.
Spring 2018 Anime Premieres (Part 1)
It’s that time again! The time of year when I don’t sleep and my schedule is completely wrecked by the need to have opinions about anime. I love it, I really do.
The season’s about half over, and there’s been a surprisingly good crop of potential. As always, I’ll have a one line blurb plus a link to my longer thoughts over at Anime Feminist.
Drunk Book Club: The Color of Magic
Terry Pratchett is proof that even great authors can have very bad first novels. So take heart, internet.
Manga Grab Bag: Yuri Edition
I recently rediscovered the joys of interlibrary loan, giving me access to a new quantity of manga I wasn’t able to afford otherwise. So, once in a while I’ll be putting out these multi-title posts with short-form reviews of what I’ve been reading.
Trash & Treasures: The Thief and the Cobbler
I am here to destroy the myth of the Poor Put Upon Genius who’s work was thwarted. Because man, fuck this guy for wasting so many people’s work.
